Over the last few years, the SaaS industry in India has grown by leaps and bounds. Though the industry started small, today, this segment boasts of a combined annual recurring revenue of $2 billion<\/strong>, consisting of more than 10,000 companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coming together of engineering and product talent, venture capital, and the drive of founders to take their companies global has made this industry the one to watch out for. According to a recent report by Google and Accel, the Indian SaaS sector<\/strong> is on the way to hit the $10 billion revenue milestone by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why, for the first time,\u00a0SaaSBoomi<\/a>, the umbrella organisation for all Software as a Service (SaaS) companies and startups in India, has come out with a set of awards recognising the companies in this sector across various categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unique aspect of the\u00a0SaaSBoomi\u00a0Awards<\/strong>\u00a0is that it is judged entirely by the SaaS community, with no involvement from any outside parties or individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
