It’s a playbook built on building credibility, strategic dinners, monthly updates that actually move the needle, and backing from 40+ Fortune 1000 CIOs. Vijay didn’t just win over top-tier U.S. VCs; […]

Swathi Dhamodaran

Associate – Growth Equity, Trifecta Capital

Swathi Dhamodaran might be deep in the world of venture capital at Trifecta today—but around here in the community, she’s simply someone we know we can count on. At the SaaSBoomi Annual, she played a key role in leading VCBridge, helping build a meaningful fundraise platform that connected SaaS & AI founders with investors from across the globe.

Sathyanarayan Viswanathan

Sr. Director, Product Management & Design, Ottimate

Beyond excelling in Product Management, Sathya Viswanathan has brought the same rigor to program management at SaaSBoomi for nearly five years—earning him the title of Volunteer of the Month for Feb ’24! He’s been one of our strongest pillars in shaping the program and agenda for multiple marquee events, including Annual ’20, Annual ’21, and Growth ’22.
Annual ’21 was a flagship event held entirely virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions—yet it was executed flawlessly, thanks to volunteers like Sathya. Now, he’s once again flexing his superpowers behind the scenes for the upcoming Annual ’25. His eye for detail, meticulous planning, and forward-thinking approach help us uphold the promise we make to India’s SaaS + AI ecosystem, time and again. His dedication to fostering collaboration and growth within our community remains unwavering. Keep it coming, Sathya—we’re always rooting for you!

Anand Pavan Mandala

Founder & CEO, Startups.Jobs

Thanks a ton, SaasBoomi, as I feel this literally saved 3-5 years of my life in the least, as it allowed me to learn from the failures and mistakes of successful SaaS founders, by not reinventing the wheel of experience in our startup.

Godard Abel

Co-Founder & CEO, G2

An amazing gathering of the best SaaS entrepreneurs in India! Incredible learning from peer entrepreneurs willing to truly be vulnerable and share lessons learned.

Veekshith Rai

COO, Finly

I’m not sure about making a dent in the Universe, but I’m sure this movement is going to make a change in the Indian GDP.

Sujit Karpe

Co-Founder and CTO, Interview Mocha

Every revenue is good till it’s recurring revenue. Every knowledge is good till it’s recurring knowledge. SaaSBoomi is a recurring knowledge for me. From 2019 to 2020 we grew our revenue 3x. With learning from 2020, planning to grow 5x!
