Awards ’24

SaaSBoomi Awards
India’s first and only community-driven awards recognizing exemplary startups shaping the SaaS industry.

Voices from the Tribe

Sumanth Raghavendra
Co-founder u0026 CEO, Presentations.AI
Annual ’25
The award we bagged at SaaSBoomi Annual ‘25 doesn’t validate the destination. It honors the journey, and everyone who made it possible. For 10 years, we had zero users, zero revenue, but never zero belief. The SaaSBoomi community stood by us when metrics couldn’t. The real reward wasn’t the outcome — it was the purpose we found in building something meaningful, together.
Neel Balar
Co-founder, Clueso
Annual ’24
If you’re building a SaaS or AI company from India, SaaSBoomi is the one community you absolutely want to be part of. I’ve gained a ton from it – whether it was the SGx program that helped us structure our GTM strategy, the flagship Annual event where you connect with 1000+ founders and share hard-earned lessons, or Caravan, which gave us practical playbooks for breaking into the US market. It’s been invaluable.
Swathi Dhamodaran
Associate – Growth Equity, Trifecta
Volunteer – Annual ’25
Volunteering for SaaSBoomi was as personal an endeavour as it was professional. The scale of the SB platform, the extraordinary passion that other volunteers exhibit and the pull it has from the investor and founder base make it the perfect opportunity to build and scale initiatives like the VC connect event and see the multiplier effect unfold right in front of you.

‘If you are not adapting to AI, throw away your roadmap’: Freshworks’ Girish Mathrubootham

Speaking at a keynote session at SaaSBoomi 2025 held in Chennai, Mathrubootham advised founders to ‘throw away’ older roadmaps that only focus on building workflows for humans. “AI is an even bigger opportunity for India. What brought all of us together at SaasBoomi was the dream of India as a product nation. If that is the mission, SaaS is the first catalyst and AI is an accelerator,” he said. Mathrubootham described AI as both exciting and scary—while it disrupts various industries, it simultaneously disrupts traditional SaaS businesses as well.
