July, in the blink of an eye

Happy 18 to us! It's unreal how little of this was planned. A lot of what Frappe is today came from solving one problem after another. Turns out, having an unhealthy appetite for experimentation can take you places. When we began, we didn't set out to build a company of nearly 100 people or a suite of products used around the world. Apparently, being license-free at 18 suits us, and that's how we'll keep going for the next 18 years too.

Cheers to open source, and to everyone who's been part of the journey.

What's been missing from Frappe HR all this while?

India Payroll. It has easily been one of the most requested features, and for good reasons. Payroll in India comes with enough compliance to keep anyone on their toes. India Payroll is now here and it brings Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, EPF, ESI, and India-specific payroll compliance into Frappe HR. There’s more to come, but it’s ready to be put to work. Check it out.

While we’re at it, Frappe Builder has some good news to share too. With v1.31.0, Builder is now MIT licensed! This release also smooths out the experience like dragging blocks directly on the canvas, a cleaner way to edit styles, better templates, dark mode, and easier collaboration. All in all, Builder just got a lot more enjoyable to work with. Try it for free!

Frappeverse Mumbai 2026

Countdown to Frappeverse begins! The stage is almost set. The lights are bright, the mics are getting tested and we’re already feeling those familiar butterflies in our stomachs. In less than 20 days, we’ll welcome you all to the 12th edition of our community conference on August 21–22, 2026, at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Mumbai.

We’re loading up two days with talks you won’t find elsewhere, including AI, ERP, automation, developer tools, and business stories from folks who’ve been knee-deep in the business for ages. You’ll meet hundreds of people building on the same ecosystem from across the globe. And of course, we’re saving a special segment to raise a toast to the incredible contributors who make the Frappe community awesome every day.

We hope to see you at the heart of open source, innovation, and all things Frappe. To keep up with the schedule, follow the website.
Frappe, now in Pune!
For years, our Pune teammates worked from co-working spaces across the city. With many Frappe folks and partners based in Pune, and Mumbai just a short trip away, it naturally felt like the best place for our next office. Bringing the same minimal aesthetics and familiar warmth as our Mumbai HQ, our new and shiny Pune office is nearly ready and the Frappe Cloud team will soon move in.

And as if this wasn’t enough, we also packed our bags for a 2 day offsite where a few coders and non-coders took on the challenge to build apps using AI. You'll see some interesting shots from it in an upcoming episode of Inside Frappe


Until then, take care, and we’ll see you at Frappeverse Mumbai!
