If you are ready to go global with your SaaS offering, then the Kalaari SaaS Talks event is the perfect opportunity for you
The Indian software-as-a-service (SaaS) ecosystem is poised for unprecedented growth. So much so that by 2025, it is believed that India will be the startup hub of the world. The global SaaS market is expected to cross $100 billion in the next few years, significantly outpacing the expenditure on traditional software and driven by rapid growth in customer adoption for cloud services worldwide.
All the signs seem to point in that direction. According to The Economic Times, Tracxn, a startup intelligence and market research platform, has reported that since 2010, more than $1.484 billion has been invested in Indian SaaS companies. In January 2017 itself, seven SaaS companies got funding. This is in addition to existing players like Zoho, Freshdesk, KiSSFLOW, Chargebee and Sirion Labs.
Despite all this growth, we are still at an early stage in establishing ourselves as a global SaaS player. With over 2,500 companies founded in the past two years and sustained investor interest, the next wave is likely to be one that sweeps Indian SaaS startups to newer heights.
