Read Stories From Our Ecosystem
In the hustle-filled early days of SaaS unicorn Postman, an office tour would end barely a minute after it began. It was a one-bedroom apartment that Ankit Sobti, Abhijit Kane, and Abhinav Asthana had rented out and repurposed as their office.
Bharani Vaitheesvaran

True to Sundar Pichai’s words Saturday the 25th of July 2020 was a day of doers. It was a day for those who followed their passion and gave their blood and sweat to realise their dreams. It was a conglomeration of some of the best minds in the realm of SaaS in India.

People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better. ~ Ray Bradbury, from Beyond 1984: The People Machines”

Indian’s have a stereotype. That of crabs pulling down other crabs that are successful. Nothing can be further from the truth. At least in the startup world. I have been associated with the startup ecosystem in India for 13 years now. I also lived in the silicon valley ecosystem. Personally, I think that the Indian startup ecosystem is better in many aspects.
