A SaaS Company is basically a service provider that hosts applications and makes them available to customers over the landscape of the internet. The SaaS Company is responsible for maintaining databases and servers and making sure that users can access the applications from almost all devices.
The past few years have seen a tremendous increase in the SaaS startups in India and worldwide. India has seen exponential growth in SaaS investments in the last decade. According to the report by Bain & Company “Indian SaaS companies will reach $30 billion in revenue by the year 2025”. Based on this, it can be said that Indian-origin SaaS companies could capture an 8% to 9% share of the international SaaS market.
