Free CRM India: A Real CRM for Three People, Not a Trial That Expires
For founders and small sales teams who track enquiries in WhatsApp and a notebook: leads, deals, contacts and follow ups on one record, with no card and no end date.
Search for a free CRM in India and most results are trials with a countdown, or a tier so thin that the first real customer pushes you onto a paid plan. Apragya's free CRM is a plan you can run a small business on, for as long as your team is three people or fewer.
It is the same CRM paying customers use, on the same platform as HR and one Additional App of your choice, so when you grow you add seats and apps rather than migrating to something else.
What changes when the enquiries leave WhatsApp
Tracked in the CRM
- Every enquiry is a lead with an owner
- Follow ups are scheduled activities that remind you
- Deals sit in stages you can count
- GSTIN and place of supply live on the contact
- The history stays with the company
An example: a three-person interiors studio in Kochi
Take an illustrative studio that gets enquiries from Instagram, referrals and walk-ins. Quotes go out on WhatsApp, and the founder keeps the follow ups in her head.
What the first week in the CRM looked like
- Enquiries loggedEvery lead from the last month, with its source.Done
- Owners assignedEach lead belongs to one of the three.Done
- Stages setEnquiry, site visit, quote, negotiation, won.Done
- Follow ups scheduledNothing now depends on memory.Done
- Stale quotes foundSix quotes nobody had chased in three weeks.Overdue
- AI Credits usedLead scoring tried on the free allowance.Pending
Two of those six stale quotes turned into projects within the month. Nothing about the studio changed except that every enquiry had an owner and a next step.
