I am currently working in a healthcare SaaS startup as SDE. I also have seen many other startups in this field. Companies like Bajaj, insurance companies also have SaaS products in this field.

I've observed Healthcare is one. I was exploring building some saas products. So wanted to check which industries it'll have the most impact

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Which industries has a lack of saas products ?

I'm currently 6 YOE. But experience is diverse like in real-estate and eCommerce.. b2b saas is kinda a lucrative opportunity do you think it's worth to make an effort and move?

Which industry should I pick?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Not an Anti India or Indian hating post but I work in sales and I’ve discovered that Indians act so entitled as if they’re some high and mighty royals who have transcended from heavens above when interacting with anyone who’s calling them after they themselves requesting for it. 

Half the times these dumb clowns can’t even articulate 2 sentences together in English and struggle to understand what you try and tell them but act like they know it all. 

We’ve got to clean up our act as customers and human beings before we make a bigger mockery of ourselves than what’s already out there. No wonder we’re categorised as the cheap hooligan crowd outside.

Indian customers act the most entitled when they’re worth the least

Me dumb clown, no string together sentence in English. You selling? Me customer? You want me lick your ass? Me not likely :(

Hey peeps, do you guys know of any consumer SaaS that went big without having a B2B angle in place? 

One example would be Splitwise (again not that big). Other apps like Netflix, Bumble, do have to bring supply of engaging content for consumption or partners for matchmaking respectively, so that's not pure consumer SaaS

I feel every SaaS company that will go big will have a B2B angle associated with it. Let me know what you think?

Consumer(B2C) SaaS not a big opportunity?

Product Owner

Having worked in IT as a developer and other tech roles, I am having a feeling of how long I am going to do the same and keep grinding myself for someone else’s businesses to grow.

I personally feel from childhood I would enjoy and love to do something of my own but I am so confused and have not much idea on what to start and from where to start.

Feels stuck somewhere and actually I am doing nothing.

Any suggestions?

Wish to start something of my own

Hey startup founders, who've been there and done that. Is ConsumerTech dead with all the giant social networks already taking a users' screen time? A recent YC video (tarpit idea) suggested that B2B SaaS is good, B2C is shit. 

I feel if we have to build something big in India, for the people, the threshold is really high for a social network. On the other hand, B2C SaaS is not something that people would pay for easily, making it less scalable. So, what should one go about this?

SaaS v/s Social network

Last 3 years of startups have been all about SaaS. I just don't get it. So far, it was about solving real problems at scale.
First with consumer websites (google etc), then software, then shopping & delivery (amazon swiggy zomato fk etc etc) 

And now, it's all SaaS:
- Imma build a startup to help white businessmen in America do better billing 
- Imma build a 360 degree feedback tool specifically for Norwegian miners 
- Imma build a SaaS software to help HR people note down who isn't dressed properly
- Imma build a software to help hillbillies in the US better manage their trucking company

Like how are smart people in India taking up entrepreneurship to build these ideas that are dull and feel like the end of life? How does anybody become excited by this? 

is it just money? what am I missing?

SaaS: Why are people so attracted to it? (mini rant)

Analyst

I might sound stupid here but please hear me out. 
The market is crowded with so many startups in every domain. Older startups are much more stable, on track to become profitable or are already profitable with a huge market share. Not to forget the legacy companies with deep pockets and years of R&D and experience. Along with the competition, funding is another major pain point now because of various reasons we all know of. 
Also, somewhere I feel we don't face a lot of burning problems we faced a few years back which gave birth to a lot of startups who were actually solving some problem. Most of the new age startups out there are not really solving any problem but just offering premium products or services targeting just the high earning individuals. Most of the new ideas are repetitive with no major differentiation or value add. 
Because of all these reasons, I feel we might see very few new startups in future let alone successful ones. 

Share your thoughts please!

I am from capital markets and consulting background with 11 yrs of experience. I have been tinkering on SaaS idea and business plan for last few years for a niche product useful for CFOs. The problem is, I have zero knowledge of Tech. Can you suggest the steps to build SaaS business or some resources (articles, videos, course) that can be useful for beginner like me.

Noob question. How to build SaaS?

Equity Research

I want to join a startup which is trying to solve an interesting and high impact problem statement. Some domains that would interest me:
1. SaaS product startup - solving a business process / problem using product eg. Collaboration and documentation tool
2. Any other domain apart from the crowded and boring ecommerce, edtech, foodtech sectors

Please suggest some startup names or cool domains which have opportunities for product based solutions.

Best startup to work for?

SAAS is too concentrated now, Do you know any saas startup doing out of box and is yet to be funded or just got funded? Happy to see some good ones.

Do you have any early stage SAAS startup doing so great?

Growth Manager

I work in the Data Privacy and protection domain. You won't believe me if I said we are spending $M on BigId and OneTrust apps (including infra cost for on prem).

As an SME and power user of these apps I can tell you they are spreadsheets with CTA buttons that calls some APIs. Their AI, ML posturing are all marketing gimmicks. Doesn't work well. 

Since they costs $$$ many privacy pros are asking for cheaper alternatives which not many seems to be available.

My ambition is to build a SaaS company that offers privacy app suite that is affordable and works much better.

My action plan:
1. Complete FIP (fellowship in Privacy from Iapp) n become an influencer. Am already networking with privacy pros.

2. I am learning Bubble development now

I know 1 is tough and 2 nd may be even tougher.. but this is my 2024 goals. I may fail but I need to give it a try

To build a SaaS business in a niche domain, what would you recommend I do? How would you do it.

What are some of the great companies to work for  as a starting PM post MBA in India. I think in many of companies role of PM is not properly defined and it caters to borderline project management.

Great companies to work for as a PM

For me its porn and gambling, very hard no on making a product or joining  an org  built on exploiting someone else

Domains I can never start up but join may be, would be religion, not into religion or spirituality much so can't start something from scratch with no domain knowledge or passion for the field. But given enough money will be happy to tag along in the journey

Just wanted to see if others thought about their hard no's or blindspots in general

What’s a startup industry  you will never build  in ?
