Special thanks to Rohit Chennamaneni, Co-founder— Darwinbox for helping me put together the Hyderabad value proposition, Genesis & Evolution part of the blog.

With the ‘old world’ of IT going through a rapid transformation, organisations are moving many applications to the cloud boosting the Indian SaaS industry. Moreover, Hyderabad is blessed with all the ingredients necessary for the industry’s success. The prior corporate experience of founders, the availability of digital marketing talent, which is essential to market a SaaS company, approximately 22,000 in strength, are fundamental to the success of a SaaS company. The proximity to customers in the form of large corporates of Pharma, IT and manufacturing sectors makes understanding the client requirements to build resilient products

Genesis & Evolution:

Since Indian IT experts have been catering to the high-end B2B consulting for years, the transition to the SaaS industry has been easy. Since 2010, Indian SaaS companies have received more than $1.484 billion in investments. According to a joint research report by Google and Accel Partners, by 2025, SaaS in India will become a $10 billion revenue industry and will cater to 8% of the global SaaS market. With advantages like the low cost of development and operations and the presence of SaaS companies such as Salesforce, ServiceNow and Informatica, Hyderabad has attracted the best, global SaaS talent.

Entrepreneurs from the city caught the bus with a focus on the US SMEs. Indian enterprises such as Zenoti and Host Analytics occupy this space. Success breeds success, and the success stories from Hyderabad like SumTotal (now Skillsoft), Host Analytics, HighRadius, Gainsight, Pramati & Zenoti paved the way to companies like Darwinbox, Innovapptive, OpsRamp and Simility that are creating commotion in the whole SaaS Community. Ivy Comptech/Party Gaming is probably the largest IPO issuance (by market cap) at their peak. One interesting fact about Hyderabad is many bootstrapped companies like Ozonetel, Talebu have shown steady progress in attracting business. Freshworks has recently started it’s product development centre in Hyderabad, the biggest after Chennai. With High Radius becoming the first SaaS unicorn and, Great exits of NowFloats and Report Garden, Hyderabad revived it’s energy in SaaS space and making its way to become one of the leading SaaS ecosystems in the global market place.
