Over 10 million downloads across SikhiToTheMax, Sundar Gutka and various other platforms powered by Khalis Infarstructure bring Gurbani into homes, gurdwaras, and pockets worldwide.

Yet our current setup is scattered across multiple hosts, and maintained by engineers who have to spend valuable time on servers than seva. This setup strains under growing sangat at these websites.

Bani DB API is free to use and doesn't have any gates or blockers, there are dozens of Non Khalis apps that use BaniDB API to power their own gurbani related apps. For example, a nitnem app by one of the sangat groups uses Bani DB to do nitnem and also provide links to katha. 

Another gurbani app that uses BaniDB API, focuses on providing a more social experience of reading gurbani. There's an app built for kirtaniyas that use Bani DB API to create compositions and raag notations.

We at khalis, want to serve all these usecases and provide even more. With your help, we will unify, secure, and automate our entire tech stack so every sikh enjoys instantaneous, uninterrupted access to the Gurbani.

Modernisation Plan

Unified Cloud Infrastructure
Migrate all our apps and services onto a single, standardized platform—no more “this app is here, that API is there.” One cloud, one seamless experience.

Security & Compliance Enhancements
Define and enforce organization-wide policies: automated vulnerability scans, centralized IAM, SSL certificate rotation, and GDPR/CCPA-aligned data handling.

CI/CD & Dev/Prod Automation
Build a full CI/CD pipeline with distinct development, staging, and production environments—so our developers spend their time writing features, not configuring servers.

Monitoring & Logging
Implement centralized metrics , logs , and alerting to:
Detect service degradations before users notice
Trace errors to their root cause in seconds
Ensure uptime during peak nitnem hours and live broadcasts

Disaster Recovery & Backup
Establish multi-region backups and automated failover so our services stay online.

Enable Future Use-Cases
As you know we are adding bunch of new features to our apps that would put further strain on our existing infrastructure.
