Past Editions
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.

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

A joint study conducted by McKinsey in partnership with SaaSBoomi had some eye-opening insights about the shift from SaaS to AI.SaaS and what the road ahead looks like. The session outlined what the AI.SaaS opportunity looks like – from the emerging trends, the implications for India SaaS, and how to approach building a scalable AI-first business.
Estimated enterprise software spending on GenAI is likely to hit $150-200 billion by 2027, according to a joint study by McKinsey and SaaSBoomi.
In 2023, enterprises spent nearly $15 billion on Generative AI, representing 2% of the overall software spends, which will be around 10% in 4-5 years as per the study presented at the SaaSBoomi annual event on March in Chennai.
An industry report by SaaSBoomi and McKinsey in 2023 showed that India is set to have more than a hundred SaaS unicorns by 2030 with an enterprise value of over $500 billion.
“Every enterprise start-up should adopt AI. You are already late. The most important message that we wanted to land with each one of the founders [SaaS] here is that AI is going to be the biggest opportunity for us as an ecosystem,” he said at the two-day SaaSBoomi, a close-knit community of B2B SaaS founders from India.
