== Early life and background ==<br />
<br />
Shyam Sunder Goenka graduated in Commerce from [[West Bengal State University]]. During the late 60’s, he moved out of Calcutta, to set up his own textile machinery business called Vijay Bobbins and Industries Pvt. Ltd. in [[Bangalore]].<br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
<br />
In the 80’s, while running the textile machinery business, Shyam Sunder Goenka was looking for software to manage his business but was unable to find one which was simple and efficient.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/tally-tries-to-reach-for-the-stars-112010500087_1.html|title=Tally tries to reach for the stars|last=Mishra|first=Bibhu Ranjan|access-date=2016-06-29}}</ref> This prompted him to inspire his son, [[Bharat Goenka]], to pursue his passion for software and technology to create software that would handle financial accounts for his business.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indoscopy.com/2013/10/tally-solutions-by-ss-goenka-and-bharat.html|title=Tally Solutions by S.S. Goenka and Bharat Goenka|website=www.indoscopy.com|access-date=2016-06-29}}</ref> He emphasized to his son that software must be such that it makes the life of the users easier. His insights and guidance led to the creation of simple and easy to use a software called Peutronics Financial Accountant (PFA).<ref>https://www.urbanpro.com/tally-software/who-invented-tally-software/4107237</ref><br />
<br />
He took the first version to the market to sell to hitherto unknown buyers, before taking advantage of his social network and business associates for adoption. The positive response that the software received in an age where buying computers was still an expensive affair for companies in India, led S.S. Goenka to believe in the product’s potential and market reach.<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/Tally-hooks-the-books/articleshow/12697718.cms</ref><br />
In 1986, he along with his son established Peutronics as a company which later morphed into Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tallyerp9renewal.com/what-is-tally-erp-9/|title=What is Tally ERP 9?
