I subscribed ur channel roughly 2weeks ago. I was very impressed on that first day. Your channel growth is pretty awesome. Your information delivery is very clear and short. I never regret for subscribed your channel. Keep Going.
Hi Arjun, thank you! We're so glad that you've been learning a lot from our videos. Thanks for staying subscribed for the last couple of months by the way, our content has seen a lot of changes lately but we're really happy that you're still enjoying our videos.
I can say this -- for best part of last 6-7 years or so, the scene with IT(software) startups in India have been extremely grim. pitiful. be aware and inquisitive
I am so grateful, I got this video on my homepage. At first I was surprised that someone outside India is focusing on the Indian Start-Up Ecosystem, but then I further went on to explore your channel and saw the 10K subscribers video, and got my answer :) The journey you shared was so engaging and interesting! Also I'd like to mention that I started getting interest in startups, heard about Zoho and Freshworks but never knew what they were based on! Kudos for the time and effort you're putting in.
We are so glad that you found us, Gurleen🙂 Yeah, even I am glad that Caleb and Prithvi started BwM, it has helped us all learn a lot more about Indian startups. They definitely have had an amazing journey. And I think Zoho is definitely one of the most impressive startups in India and its founder is really an impressive guy. We will continue to bring you more amazing content. Also, thanks for leaving this wonderful comment. -Varun
Hi jnaras, thanks a lot! OrangeScape and KiSSFLOW both came up while we were researching for this script, but sadly didn't make it onto the list - if I'm remembering correctly, it was because the other SaaS startups on the list were more heavily funded than OrangeScape, and funding was the metric that we used to compile this list. Would need to fact check this though. It was pretty difficult to select just ten startups, as SaaS is a really large space here in India and there are a lot of awesome startups. In hindsight, we also missed Postman, which is now a unicorn. Hopefully we can make a new version of this list at some point in 2021 which is current and up-to-date. Maybe we'll make it a Top 25 list instead of Top 10, because 10 feels like too small a number for SaaS startups in India. Either way, thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed the video. -Caleb
I have great interest about data science as this field is emerging in great extent in 2020s. Can you please make a video about top data science companies of India.. mostly startup data science companies and them being unicorns. @Backstage With Millionaires
This is a great idea Varun. We are actually hoping to have some of the founders of these companies on the show as guests in the future, to talk about how they built these startups. However, considering the fact that COVID-19 has India under lockdown, it may be some time before we can arrange such interviews, so we will have a chat about this as a team and decide whether making case study videos is something that we want to do.
I was thinking to start youtube channel doing the same content u do ,a month back focusing on start ups and investments,i still can do it in hindi .😁😁 I might have an advantage but i need confidence to start.
Hi Rohit, perhaps you could make content for us, instead of doing it on your own? If this seems like an interesting idea, please shoot us an email at backstagewithmillionaires@gmail.com and we can start a dialogue about this. -Caleb
Thanks for watching, Aniket. First of all, we are really glad that you enjoyed our videos. To answer your question, all the information in our videos is sourced from different websites and platforms. For example, we use Crunchbase to get all the funding related data. Then, we use company websites, blogs, their official youtube channel, credible news websites and founder interviews to get more information and verify across these platforms to look for the most updated information. Apart from that, we also use latest reports by firms like Deloitte, KPMG, and NASSCOM to get a broader perspective of the industry. That's the short version of it. Feel free to ask any more questions that you have, we would love to answer them 🙂 (This is Varun from BwM)

Great work. I have subscribed and watch all the videos. People will love watching journey of a interesting startup. But do keep giving the brief weekly updates...your flagship product.
Hi Ajay, well, we here at Backstage with Millionaires have never started a SaaS company, so we aren't sure how to either. But do take a look at any and all of our videos about SaaS (there is a large playlist of SaaSpreneurs on our channel) and you will know everything that we do about starting a SaaS company. Believe it or not, most entrepreneurs don't have a lot of business knowledge or highly specific, refined skills. What sets entrepreneurs apart from other people is 1. They are able to identify a problem that people need a solution to (and I will add that this needs to be something that people are willing to pay for) and 2. They are willing to take a huge risk and invest significant amounts of time, energy, and money in order to solve that problem. As long as you have these two things, jump in and start! 🙂 The tricky part is finding a problem worth solving and unfortunately, because all of the obvious problems are already being solved by people. So you'll need to latch on to something before too many other people realize how large an opportunity it is. Good luck!
Hi Ankush, sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by web-based startups, as most startups these days are online and employ the use of websites and apps to acquire and retain customers. Maybe you could give me a few examples of startups in this category? -Caleb

Good luck!
video is awesome and i liked just 2 of your entire videos becoz i only watched 2 of them. question is why are you focussed on indian market and not your country's or global market?? any specific reason? also where are you from?

We should find how their growths for last 5 years and what future their holding.. not based upon the region /cast/subcaste 🙂🤔 And also north Indians are more for prone risk appetite than our south India
Hi Yeshwanth, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to watch our video and commenting. As to your question, I don't think I have any logical reason for not including Chargebee. The only problem we had while curating the list was that there are a lot of amazing SaaS startups from India (for good reasons as we mentioned in the video). We knew we were going to miss out on a lot of fantastic startups no matter what we tried. So, in the end, we went with the option of keeping the 10 most funded startups based on our research. If you have any more questions, we would be glad to answer them. -Varun (from BwM)
I wanna start my own software company .. but I m not from engineering background. .. how can I get started ,how much will it cost. How can I get projects .... plzz help
All tech companies (except for older companies like TCS, WIPRO)are founded by very capable and innovative technical persons. Mostly venture into starting their own companies only after gaining few years of experience
Hi Roy, I'm assuming from your name that you're a foreigner. If you're not, my apologies. In India, as long as you belong to one of the eligible countries (it is a long list so I won't paste it here, but you can find it with a quick Google search) you can invest in Indian stocks as a QFI (qualified foreign investor). As a QFI, you can interact with any Indian stock broker as long as that broker _is_ a QDP or your purchase/sale orders are going through a QDP before reaching the broker. A QDP is a Qualified Depository Participant, and there are 62 of them at the moment. That is where I would recommend that you start: looking through the list and picking a QDP. Some of those QDPs may even be brokers themselves, which will simplify the process, or you can reach out to a non-broker QDP as well. I'm not sure if QDPs take a cut of your trades or not (I assume that they would if they are a non-broker QDP) but either way, that list is your starting point: www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/other/OtherAction.do?doRecognisedFpi=yes&intmId=15 P.S. as someone who has been living in India for 3 years, trust me when I say that if you're just trying to do this casually, it's going to be a huge headache for you. India does _not_ make it easy for non-Indians to do things in India whenever government or banks are involved. There will be tons of documents that you need to submit, painfully designed websites you need to use, long waits for email replies or phone calls, a bunch of prerequisites which you will need to apply for and complete, technical glitches, and maybe even a bit of under the table payments if you want the process to go more smoothly/quickly. If you can find a QDP who will do all of this heavy lifting for you, then I think you should go ahead. However, if you're planning to take a more DIY approach, you might be better off investing in another country. Hope this helps! -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires appriciate the detail of your response. Yes I'm Dublin based. Would you consider it a topic worth covering on your channel. It would be a great business opportunity for somebody to act as an intermediary especially if the person is trust worthy and transparent.
@@roym1444 Hi Roy, we may end up making a video detailing the process for foreigners to invest in India, yes. Recently, Reliance Industries made international news because of its very high valuation and investment from a number of different companies like Facebook, so people are taking more and more notice of India's stock market these days. As for your business opportunity idea, I think that you're right! Most brokers are focusing on getting more of India to invest in Indian stocks, but if someone could simplify and streamline the process of investing in India for non-Indian people, they might be able to make a lot of money! And yes, as Dancing Freakz has said, Zerodha is a great company which has made investing in stocks easy for Indians. However, I'm not sure whether they support foreigners investing in India stocks. I know that if you are a foreigner living in India, Zerodha does have some options for you. But I'm not sure if, living in Dublin, you would be able to access stocks through them. Try tweeting at them or shooting them an email. Also, the folks over at r/IndiaInvestment might be able to help you: www.reddit.com/r/IndiaInvestments/ -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires you really should make that video, it is a nightmare process even the Indian embassy in Dublin were useless in assisting the process.
Too little information about the actual products. Just some broad descriptions like "data analytics", "customer experience" and such. What are those companies actually do?
Hi mate ts, it's kind of a long story, and we will share that story with the BwM community once we hit 10K subscribers, but the short version is that I came to India more than 3 years ago to travel and ended up living here, first in Delhi and now in Bangalore - after about a year and a half, my friend Prithvi, who is a serial entrepreneur (th-cam.com/video/9MznBL37ayk/w-d-xo.html) asked me if I wanted to start a TH-cam channel with him: his role was to be the director and expert on entrepreneurship, and my role (as someone who knew very little about entrepreneurship) was to be the camera man/editor. However, as time passed and we learned what worked and what didn't work on TH-cam, and as my knowledge of entrepreneurship grew, we changed from our original plan and I ended up in front of the camera doing interviews in Bangalore while Prithvi was working on building his own startup in Delhi. Then the pandemic happened, and interviews stopped, meaning that I was in front of the camera 95% of the time, making videos like this one! But to specifically answer your question about why we as a channel make videos about India only, the main reason is that our audience is Indian. We started making content for Indians back at the start of 2019, and so trying to change our audience now wouldn't really make a lot of sense. But at some point if we can expand our channel to include content directed at people from other regions in Asia a bit, or at Asian people as a whole, I think that that might be worthwhile! But we would need to grow our BwM team first, because at the moment all three of us are working as hard as we can just to focus on keeping up with India's startup ecosystem! -Caleb
Yeah Muthu, you are right. I do remember learning about Kissflow during my research but unfortunately could not include that in our final list. It was actually really difficult to select just 10 startups as SaaS is a really large space and there are a lot of awesome startups. Also, in hindsight, we might have missed Postman as well. And that's now a unicorn. -Varun
There is this startup founded in 2003 and then one in 2006, 2007,2008, 2009 then one in 2010 and finally there is one from 1996. Can somebody tell me what a startup is and when to stop calling them a startup? We call men as kids if they are yet to grow up. But the problem is that biologically they are still men.
That is a really good question Nidhish! Actually, there is no clear definition of a startup. Although, if you want your company company to be identified as a startup under the Startup India scheme, then your company should not be more than 10 years old and should have a revenue of under Rs 100 crore. By this definition, most of Indian giants like Paytm, Byju's or Oyo might not qualify as startups. Definition of a startup will change from person to person as everyone has their own criteria. But in general terms, every company that is young, has ambitious goals, provides unique and innovative product, and continues to scale/grow at a rapid pace can be called a startup. The founders of a startup are driven by a shared vision. Finding new markets for their product that didn't exist previously are some of the key things you will find in a startup. I know its not a clear definition but that's because their isn't one. There is just a structure. Hope that helps you somewhat. -Varun
@@backstagewithmillionaires Got it. That's like 70 years old Rajnikanth is still a youth hero as long as he can dance, fight and romance like a young actor.
the joke in this video is that all except manthan and zoho are having headquarters outside india.unlike any other startup sectors the saas one in where founders first setup companies here and then shift their headquarters to usa....
That's because countries like USA and even Singapore have ease of setting up and doing businesses better than India. They don't have to spend hours doing paperwork and bribing officials.

Do any of the SAAS startups have unlisted shares?
I can say this --
for best part of last 6-7 years or so, the scene with IT(software) startups in India have been extremely grim. pitiful. be careful
Hey where is Razorpay.
(after 10 sec) Ohh Its in next recommended video.
That is great😁
And for the once you don't find, just let us know and we'll try to make one. We already have a lot more coming up for you guys Aneesh. Stay tuned.

While you are at it, check out Chargebee too :)
2 tamils, 4 telugus and other north indians in this list 😇👍.
We should find how their growths for last 5 years and what future their holding.. not based upon the region /cast/subcaste 🙂🤔
And also north Indians are more for prone risk appetite than our south India
India jai hind.
Bharath Matha Ki Jai!
Wondering why Chargebee is not listed here. Any logical reasons?
Hi Yeshwanth,
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to watch our video and commenting.
As to your question, I don't think I have any logical reason for not including Chargebee.
The only problem we had while curating the list was that there are a lot of amazing SaaS startups from India (for good reasons as we mentioned in the video).
We knew we were going to miss out on a lot of fantastic startups no matter what we tried. So, in the end, we went with the option of keeping the 10 most funded startups based on our research.
If you have any more questions, we would be glad to answer them.

All tech companies (except for older companies like TCS, WIPRO)are founded by very capable and innovative technical persons. Mostly venture into starting their own companies only after gaining few years of experience

Can i ask what brokerage will give you access to the Indian stock market
Hi Roy, I'm assuming from your name that you're a foreigner. If you're not, my apologies. In India, as long as you belong to one of the eligible countries (it is a long list so I won't paste it here, but you can find it with a quick Google search) you can invest in Indian stocks as a QFI (qualified foreign investor). As a QFI, you can interact with any Indian stock broker as long as that broker _is_ a QDP or your purchase/sale orders are going through a QDP before reaching the broker. A QDP is a Qualified Depository Participant, and there are 62 of them at the moment. That is where I would recommend that you start: looking through the list and picking a QDP. Some of those QDPs may even be brokers themselves, which will simplify the process, or you can reach out to a non-broker QDP as well. I'm not sure if QDPs take a cut of your trades or not (I assume that they would if they are a non-broker QDP) but either way, that list is your starting point: www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/other/OtherAction.do?doRecognisedFpi=yes&intmId=15
P.S. as someone who has been living in India for 3 years, trust me when I say that if you're just trying to do this casually, it's going to be a huge headache for you. India does _not_ make it easy for non-Indians to do things in India whenever government or banks are involved. There will be tons of documents that you need to submit, painfully designed websites you need to use, long waits for email replies or phone calls, a bunch of prerequisites which you will need to apply for and complete, technical glitches, and maybe even a bit of under the table payments if you want the process to go more smoothly/quickly. If you can find a QDP who will do all of this heavy lifting for you, then I think you should go ahead. However, if you're planning to take a more DIY approach, you might be better off investing in another country.
Hope this helps! -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires appriciate the detail of your response. Yes I'm Dublin based.
Would you consider it a topic worth covering on your channel. It would be a great business opportunity for somebody to act as an intermediary especially if the person is trust worthy and transparent.
Hai @Roy you can check "zeroadha"
@@roym1444 Hi Roy, we may end up making a video detailing the process for foreigners to invest in India, yes. Recently, Reliance Industries made international news because of its very high valuation and investment from a number of different companies like Facebook, so people are taking more and more notice of India's stock market these days.
As for your business opportunity idea, I think that you're right! Most brokers are focusing on getting more of India to invest in Indian stocks, but if someone could simplify and streamline the process of investing in India for non-Indian people, they might be able to make a lot of money!
And yes, as Dancing Freakz has said, Zerodha is a great company which has made investing in stocks easy for Indians. However, I'm not sure whether they support foreigners investing in India stocks. I know that if you are a foreigner living in India, Zerodha does have some options for you. But I'm not sure if, living in Dublin, you would be able to access stocks through them. Try tweeting at them or shooting them an email. Also, the folks over at r/IndiaInvestment might be able to help you: www.reddit.com/r/IndiaInvestments/ -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires you really should make that video, it is a nightmare process even the Indian embassy in Dublin were useless in assisting the process.
Too little information about the actual products. Just some broad descriptions like "data analytics", "customer experience" and such. What are those companies actually do?
what about POSTMAN? you forgot to include
Hi Meet, Postman is a SaaS startup. -Caleb
I am your new subscriber.
Hey Sandeep, welcome to the BwM community! We are glad to have you.
-Varun
@@backstagewithmillionaires You guys are doing a great job.
Bro I have a doubt. Are you Indian or someone interested in India?
Hi Tharun, good question. You'll find the answer here 🙂 th-cam.com/video/KjySP-7acyY/w-d-xo.html -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires Hope you're gonna make 100k Subscribers video soon
why do you make videos on india only?
Hi mate ts, it's kind of a long story, and we will share that story with the BwM community once we hit 10K subscribers, but the short version is that I came to India more than 3 years ago to travel and ended up living here, first in Delhi and now in Bangalore - after about a year and a half, my friend Prithvi, who is a serial entrepreneur (th-cam.com/video/9MznBL37ayk/w-d-xo.html) asked me if I wanted to start a TH-cam channel with him: his role was to be the director and expert on entrepreneurship, and my role (as someone who knew very little about entrepreneurship) was to be the camera man/editor. However, as time passed and we learned what worked and what didn't work on TH-cam, and as my knowledge of entrepreneurship grew, we changed from our original plan and I ended up in front of the camera doing interviews in Bangalore while Prithvi was working on building his own startup in Delhi. Then the pandemic happened, and interviews stopped, meaning that I was in front of the camera 95% of the time, making videos like this one! But to specifically answer your question about why we as a channel make videos about India only, the main reason is that our audience is Indian. We started making content for Indians back at the start of 2019, and so trying to change our audience now wouldn't really make a lot of sense. But at some point if we can expand our channel to include content directed at people from other regions in Asia a bit, or at Asian people as a whole, I think that that might be worthwhile! But we would need to grow our BwM team first, because at the moment all three of us are working as hard as we can just to focus on keeping up with India's startup ecosystem! -Caleb
You are missing postman
Hi Pawan, Postman is SaaS. -Caleb
Kiss flow was missing in this list
Yeah Muthu, you are right. I do remember learning about Kissflow during my research but unfortunately could not include that in our final list.
It was actually really difficult to select just 10 startups as SaaS is a really large space and there are a lot of awesome startups.
Also, in hindsight, we might have missed Postman as well. And that's now a unicorn.

Anyt start Up to solve slamic problem
Bhakti
Say jay shree ram all problems will go away 🙂
Im saying this as irony
There is this startup founded in 2003 and then one in 2006, 2007,2008, 2009 then one in 2010 and finally there is one from 1996. Can somebody tell me what a startup is and when to stop calling them a startup?
We call men as kids if they are yet to grow up. But the problem is that biologically they are still men.
That is a really good question Nidhish!
Actually, there is no clear definition of a startup. Although, if you want your company company to be identified as a startup under the Startup India scheme, then your company should not be more than 10 years old and should have a revenue of under Rs 100 crore.
By this definition, most of Indian giants like Paytm, Byju's or Oyo might not qualify as startups.
Definition of a startup will change from person to person as everyone has their own criteria.
But in general terms, every company that is young, has ambitious goals, provides unique and innovative product, and continues to scale/grow at a rapid pace can be called a startup. The founders of a startup are driven by a shared vision. Finding new markets for their product that didn't exist previously are some of the key things you will find in a startup.
I know its not a clear definition but that's because their isn't one. There is just a structure.
Hope that helps you somewhat.

@@backstagewithmillionaires Got it. That's like 70 years old Rajnikanth is still a youth hero as long as he can dance, fight and romance like a young actor.
What is SaaS.
Software as a service
Some of them are based in usa not india
Anybody else really annoyed with the ankurwarikoo.com ads ?
If you have talent and knowledge don't waste it by working in greedy Multinational Companies instead make a startup make a change.
only marketing innovations, this is depressing
where is Kissflow?
the joke in this video is that all except manthan and zoho are having headquarters outside india.unlike any other startup sectors the saas one in where founders first setup companies here and then shift their headquarters to usa....
That's because countries like USA and even Singapore have ease of setting up and doing businesses better than India. They don't have to spend hours doing paperwork and bribing officials.
they need to build toilets
