In this interview, we cover their product, journey from 0 to 1, growth over the past 12 months, sales cycle, and long-term vision.

  • How they crossed the $5MN ARR mark and are on track to hit $10MN soon
  • How they have been growing in double digits almost every year
  • How they hustled and used their connections to get their first set of customers
  • How they acquire approximately 60% of leads through outbound and the rest through inbound channels, with content and SEO playing a huge part
  • How their sales cycle looks across various sets of customers
  • How they joined Upekkha (a leading Indian SaaS accelerator) at around $250K ARR and how they benefitted from Upekkha’s network, tools, and community over the years
