The Rise of India SaaS - A SaaSBOOMi Initiative.
Over the past few years, we have witnessed a meteoric rise in companies adopting SaaS as a business model. Indian SaaS companies are increasingly cementing their position in the global landscape, inspiring more founders to build for the world.
Though market valuations are cooling off, we believe that SaaS is a secular trend, and India has the potential to touch $1 trillion in market cap by 2030.
The Indian SaaS playbook has come of age. And now is the time for us to accelerate learning from global peers, starting with the biggest enterprise software market, the US.
Onward to building a strong US-India SaaS corridor.
