Date & Venue

March 7 & 8,  2024 | Chennai

Growth in the Age of AI

SaaSBoomi Annual 2024 came at the cusp of a technological revolution that will be as transformative as electricity. The hyper-accelerated growth and adoption of GenAI over the past year is hurtling us into a new age where AI permeates every aspect of business and life. This is not hyperbole, it’s now real.

To be prepared is half the victory. SaaSBoomi Annual 2024 brought cutting-edge thinkers to help SaaS founders think about repositioning their startups to take advantage of new opportunities and ward off new disruptions. Growth in the age of AI was a guiding theme of the event.

At the same time, we rolled up our sleeves and got down to the nitty-gritty of building and scaling SaaS businesses. Our tactical workshops and stage content are free from fluff. ‘For founders, by founders’ is more than a slogan to us; it’s the way we do things. 

Every piece of SaaSBoomi Annual 2024 was the outcome of four months of discussion and planning by scaled founders. Just like a good Indian thali, we kept a mix of sessions to cater to every stage of SaaS growth, from 0 to 1 and beyond.

What to expect

Knowledge-sharing

2 full days of hard-won, ground-level, actionable insights from scaled founders and fast-rising stars. From fundamentals of company building to tactical lessons on shape-shifting with AI by real practitioners. 

Awards

SaaSBoomi Awards is the first and only startup awards program in India that is shaped and judged entirely by the community. It is designed to recognize exemplary startups that mirror a microcosm of the entire Indian SaaS industry. 

Industry Bridge

All about bridging innovators and buyers for mutual growth, this will bring industry leaders face-to-face with founders building enterprise SaaS products. This is a chance to get your foot in the door and also gain valuable product feedback.

Operator’s Playbook

For the first time, SaaSBoomi will have exclusive tracks for the next rung of leadership. Top operators from SaaS companies will share their expertise with peers here.

M&A Connect

M&A Clinic provides a 1:1 consultation opportunity for startup founders to interact with SaaSBoomi’s panel of M&A experts (founders with successful exits and M&A advisors). The program is designed for startups that perceive acquisition as an imminent exit option. 

VC Bridge

100+ VCs in attendance and curated face-to-face VC-founder meetings. Founders get to pitch directly to many leading investors.

MindMixers

Intimate networking sessions to facilitate knowledge-sharing among SaaS leaders who share common interests. The sessions will be designed for one-on-one interactions or small group discussions.

Exhibitor booths

Another first for SaaSBoomi, we will have booths that give founders opportunities to find customers, early adopters, or sounding boards. Live demonstrations, visual aids, and interactive elements will showcase the unique features, benefits, and value proposition of the product.

Camaraderie

At the end of the day, you need a peer community, a friends’ circle, with whom you connect deeply and can share the ups and downs of life and your startup journey. So we will create a safe space and a conducive environment where founders build strong bonds.
