Most Indian SaaS companies look West for customers. @AiSensy_wa built its success by winning India first.
My conversation with @mohitxdua two months ago still pushes me to scale better today.
A common SaaS model here is simple: hire in India and sell to the US, UK & Europe, where pricing and margins are higher.
Nothing wrong with that. But building for Indian businesses, making the economics work here, and then going global is much harder.
AiSensy says it now serves 210,000+ businesses across 68+ countries. Mohit also told me that while they manage thousands of businesses, their support team has just eight people.
The last thing he told me was: “Everything’s going on. You should just scale well.”
Simple advice, but it still sits with me.
Most Indian startups don’t have a hiring problem. They have a firing problem.
Everyone knows within 90 days if someone isn’t working out.
But we keep them for 8-12 months because - let’s give them more time.
Meanwhile your best performers are watching you protect mediocrity.

Visited @Meta HQ at Menlo Park today.
It was so amazing to see so many people working from Office - seemed more than the entire lot of people we saw in SF in a week.
Btw, @finkd Mark Zuckerberg used to work from the ground floor of this building during early days.
Exciting times.
Met @beerud (@gupshup) last week in Palo Alto and had an amazing time
Key takeaway : Silicon Valley founders are like ducks, they look calm on the surface but are paddling heavily below water
Always great catching up with Beerud , Thanks for hosting us :)
Not able to find a good Indian restaurant in San Francisco.
The rotis taste stale & not fresh. Noodles don't seem like noodles.
Recommend some good options for karma.
