Upendra Varma:

Hello, everyone.

2

:

Welcome to the B2B SaaS podcast.

3

:

I'm your host, Upendra Verma.

4

:

And today we have Surendra with us.

5

:

Surendra here is the founder and

CEO of a company called M Gage.

6

:

Hey Surendra, welcome to the show.

7

:

Surendra Varma: Thank you.

8

:

Thank you for having me.

9

:

So,

10

:

Upendra Varma: Surendra, so

let's try to understand, right?

11

:

So what M Gage does and right, why our

customers are willing to pay you money.

12

:

Surendra Varma: uh, so engages basically.

13

:

So how do we project is engages

basically a virtual HR platform.

14

:

So, uh, so initially when we

started, we started with the

15

:

vision of building HRMS platform.

16

:

Uh, uh, and we realized that,

uh, you know, in, in, in

17

:

very quick time saying that.

18

:

Uh, the segment that we're actually

catering to which is startup and MSMEs,

19

:

the biggest challenge that they had

in terms of implementing these HRMS

20

:

problem because implementing HRMS

system because what happens is the

21

:

data says that 70 percent of companies

don't even have HR departments.

22

:

90 percent of HRMS implementation

fails because of the vulnerability

23

:

of the HR resources and the

maturity of the HR resources are

24

:

managing that implementation.

25

:

And we saw a big, uh, Gap in terms of

what HR companies are doing versus what

26

:

customers were looking, especially in the

startup and SME segment, we said that,

27

:

why don't we kind of create an entire

ecosystem and, you know, help them right

28

:

from, you know, in terms of setting up

them to get the right HR department to

29

:

give them HR resources to manage their

HR and then ultimately digitalize Right.

30

:

So, so, so what we do is we take the

entire the customer, uh, through the

31

:

entire journey right from first stage in

terms of setting up the HR department to

32

:

kind of help them in terms of, uh, giving

the virtual HR managers who are qualified

33

:

HR managers to run their HR departments.

34

:

And then, of course, everything

of this happens on the platform.

35

:

So, so we kind of do things end to

end, uh, and that's what primarily,

36

:

Upendra Varma: it's, it's software

and services packaged together that

37

:

Surendra Varma: Correct.

38

:

So, yeah.

39

:

So, you know, somebody, when I

was talking to someone, uh, you

40

:

know, they taught, they, they were

asking about what is SAS, right.

41

:

And, and, and a lot of people say that

it is software as a services, right.

42

:

And, uh, you know, what I realized

is hard time is in SAS, everything

43

:

starts software, but ends with service.

44

:

Right.

45

:

So, so that is something which is

pretty hard to kind of, uh, understand

46

:

and but, but what makes customer

to stick with you is the services

47

:

at the end of the day, right?

48

:

Of course, you will have to have a

great product to kind of serve some

49

:

of them, some of your customers.

50

:

But then what matters at the end of

the day, especially in the startup

51

:

and MSME segment is, is the service.

52

:

Upendra Varma: sell.

53

:

So I want to deep dive a lot,

a lot, a lot into it, right?

54

:

So I just want to understand how

this is all structured, but before

55

:

that, I just want to get a sense of.

56

:

Who you're primarily selling this

particular package to, right?

57

:

So like, just talk about

your customer base, right?

58

:

How many paying customers do

you have on your platform today?

59

:

Surendra Varma: So we've got

close to 200 paying customers,

60

:

Upendra Varma: And, and what

sort of customers are these?

61

:

Like, and, and I'm just strictly

trying to understand, right?

62

:

So what sort of deals

are we talking about?

63

:

Right.

64

:

So is it like a 10,

65

:

Surendra Varma: Yeah, so no, so we are not

we are not that big in terms of deal size.

66

:

Upendra Varma: 000

67

:

Surendra Varma: Our average, you know,

deal size is is is I would say in terms

68

:

of one customer average out, I would say

somewhere around:

69

:

Yeah, per year with say employee

base of around say 20 people.

70

:

Okay.

71

:

Uh, so, so our ICP, I would say that,

you know, when I say my ideal customer

72

:

profile is companies, which are say

around 20, 25 people organization.

73

:

Right.

74

:

They, they have validated their product

ideas, they validated their organization.

75

:

Now they're at a scale where

they are looking, the, the

76

:

founders are facing challenging

in terms of managing the people.

77

:

They don't have any now hr.

78

:

So far, the founders are managing the

HR and now they feel that now they wanna

79

:

grow and they, they rob things in their

plate they cannot manage, and they're not

80

:

expert in terms of managing HR is where

they, they probably, they're the kind

81

:

of ideal customer for us, and then we

take them through the entire journey of.

82

:

Setting up HR to kind of managing their

entire HR, freeing them up from the HR

83

:

operational hassle from day to day so

that they can focus on business and we

84

:

can become their HR arm or extended HR

85

:

Upendra Varma: sense.

86

:

Surendra Varma: arm to kind of

do everything on the platform.

87

:

Upendra Varma: So help me understand

this for a typical thousand

88

:

dollar deal that you would do

with your ideal customer, right?

89

:

So how do you, you know, provide these

services or consulting services, right?

90

:

So like how many people from your

team typically engage with them?

91

:

Like, how does that resourcing work here?

92

:

Surendra Varma: So what happens

is the biggest challenge, uh,

93

:

uh, in HRC, a lot of times what

happens, startups and Amazon, we

94

:

think that HR is a one person job.

95

:

I'll give you a very typical

example of a marketing team.

96

:

So if you want to create

a marketing team, right?

97

:

Marketing Is a combination of multiple

skills, for example, you have to when you

98

:

want to build a marketing team, you'll

have to kind of have a team of people

99

:

who are expert in SEO, people who can do

graphic, people who can build website,

100

:

people who can write content, right?

101

:

People who can do

digital marketing, right?

102

:

So these are all combination

of four or five skills.

103

:

You cannot expect that one

person to do everything.

104

:

Similarly, what happens is in HR, you

expect one person to do everything

105

:

right, right from recruitment,

onboarding, managing payroll,

106

:

compliances, employee engagement,

talent management, not possible,

107

:

Upendra Varma: Yeah.

108

:

Surendra Varma: right?

109

:

And what we do is like what and how

we've been able to do it and you

110

:

know, keep keep the entire service

offering at a very decent price so that

111

:

it doesn't actually, you know, hit.

112

:

Uh, SMEs and startups so that they

don't need to even, you know, think

113

:

twice to kind of outsource this,

uh, is because we have kind of built

114

:

up, you know, practices within the

organization saying that we have one

115

:

team, which does onboarding, we have

one team, which basically does payroll.

116

:

And then, so you have one.

117

:

Uh, account manager or say we say

that virtual HR manager who is

118

:

responsible to communicate with you.

119

:

But in back end, there is a team which

does, which is actually, uh, you know,

120

:

expert in doing what they do, right?

121

:

So we have compliance expert,

we have payroll expert,

122

:

Upendra Varma: Teams, you know,

specializing in those particular

123

:

aspects and they're serving multiple

customers across their various use

124

:

Surendra Varma: correct.

125

:

And then of course, the tool helps us to

kind of, uh, reduce a lot of manual work

126

:

Upendra Varma: And so can

I, can I, I'm just saying to

127

:

get some numbers here, right?

128

:

So how, like, how does

this arrangement work?

129

:

Right.

130

:

So like my question is like, for example,

a typical, you know, HR consultant

131

:

that you have on your payroll, right?

132

:

How many customers do

they typically serve?

133

:

And I mean, just divide by total

customers, but you know, maybe the total

134

:

number of people that just to get a

sense of, you know, how that's scaling.

135

:

Well,

136

:

Surendra Varma: correct.

137

:

So, so ideally, how do we, so

rather than, you know, getting into

138

:

a number of customers, we kind of

map it with the number of users.

139

:

Right.

140

:

So we say that we say that one,

uh, you know, a virtual HR manager

141

:

should ideally handle anywhere

between 250 to 300 employees,

142

:

uh, with one, uh, extended help.

143

:

Right.

144

:

And, and we ensure that, you know,

the, the ARPU, which is, uh, average

145

:

revenue per user is decent enough

to, so that we at least have,

146

:

you know, 60, 70 percent margins.

147

:

Upendra Varma: That's, that's like

10 customers that I'm hearing, right?

148

:

So two people working for like, if

your, that's, if your ideal customer is

149

:

around, you know, 20, 25, you know, users

on your platform, like 10 customers.

150

:

But this looks like, you know,

less of us consulting services.

151

:

And it looks like more like a customer

success manager that I typically

152

:

hear, you know, SaaS companies

have, like they have them, right?

153

:

So, so what's, what's the

thought process for you, right.

154

:

To sort of, you know, package this, you

know, software and services together.

155

:

Like, and do you do, do you just sell

the software itself or you don't do that?

156

:

Surendra Varma: No, we do.

157

:

We do.

158

:

We also sell softwares alone.

159

:

Um, but we sell it to typically companies

where they have mature HR teams, right?

160

:

Where we see that the HR is primarily

not very stable and things like that.

161

:

We always push them to kind of have

services because we know that even if

162

:

they buy product, they are not going to,

they will not be able to implement it.

163

:

They will not be able

to get the ROI of it.

164

:

So rather than they doing it, burning

their hands and we say that, you know.

165

:

Upendra Varma: Yeah, I got the sense.

166

:

Right.

167

:

So I think you talked about that.

168

:

Right.

169

:

So can you just quantify like how

many people, like how many customers

170

:

would just, you know, buy the

software aspect of it so that I

171

:

could understand your focus here,

172

:

Surendra Varma: yeah.

173

:

So typically companies just 50 plus right

where they have one or two HR, you know,

174

:

people on site would primarily look for

175

:

Upendra Varma: what percentage

of them are they, you know,

176

:

Surendra Varma: I would say out of 200,

I think 50 percent of them buy software

177

:

only 50 percent buy with with services.

178

:

Upendra Varma: Makes sense.

179

:

. So now I want to move forward, right.

180

:

So in terms of, you know, your, I think

we talked a lot about your customer base.

181

:

Right.

182

:

So just help me understand that.

183

:

So where are you getting all of

these customers from strictly from

184

:

a top of funnel growth perspective,

where are they discovering Engage?

185

:

Surendra Varma: Right.

186

:

So there are two aspects.

187

:

One, of course, is we, we are our

digital presence is quite good.

188

:

So we've been trying to kind of

get hold of how digitally we can,

189

:

you know, probably be available

whenever somebody searching for HR

190

:

outsourcing, HR consulting, HRMS or

solution for startup or founders.

191

:

HR issues is we, we write a lot of

blogs, is something which is primarily,

192

:

uh, there are certain keywords that we

probably would want to rank pretty well

193

:

and we are ranking pretty well with

whether it is virtual HR, virtual HR

194

:

services, virtual HR team and things

like that, uh, is, is one source.

195

:

Of course, second is the referral model.

196

:

Referral model, because now we have a

decent set of customers and, and this

197

:

is the problem which is common, right?

198

:

Everyone needs it.

199

:

It's like an insurance, right?

200

:

Everyone needs it.

201

:

But.

202

:

You know, a lot of people buy

it proactively, a lot of people

203

:

wait for trigger, and there are

certain people who would never buy

204

:

Upendra Varma: Yeah.

205

:

Surendra Varma: Right?

206

:

So, so, you know, that that's

how it works primarily.

207

:

So, you know, every organization

has this problem, right?

208

:

They want to solve it.

209

:

A lot of people are not

aware how to solve it.

210

:

So they go on Google and ask it and

probably they're going to probably

211

:

be available whenever they're

looking for a customer reference.

212

:

Yeah, I mean, you know, one of the

biggest thing that we are looking at is.

213

:

Customer is referring big time and

you know, I think 20 percent of our

214

:

business comes from customer reference.

215

:

Um, and, and, and, and we are also trying

to create a lot of channels, uh, you know,

216

:

like incubators where a lot of startup

comes in, a lot of funded startups are

217

:

there, accelerator programs where you're

offering them discounted, uh, you know,

218

:

service offerings where Uh, we can partner

and we can actually, you know, uh, get to

219

:

a, you know, many startup being, you know,

we're part of those accelerator program

220

:

or say startup ecosystem is, is what

primarily is the, uh, uh, is the idea.

221

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

222

:

So like, I'll, I'll try to ask

a tough question here, right?

223

:

So the past 12 months, right?

224

:

So you mentioned, you know, three or

four channels that I'm hearing that SEO

225

:

and content marketing referrals, right?

226

:

And maybe you partnering with, you know,

accelerators and all of it, which one of

227

:

them actually led to, you know, most of

your new growth over the past 12 months.

228

:

Surendra Varma: So I think, uh, today

it is more of push sales, uh, is, is

229

:

what my, my, my team is reaching out.

230

:

So content and, and, uh, and

the outbound sales, right.

231

:

As I told you, my, my.

232

:

My 55, 60%, uh, business

comes from push sales,

233

:

Upendra Varma: What do you mean by

234

:

Surendra Varma: as I told you already,

235

:

Upendra Varma: it's essentially

you reaching out to this

236

:

cold customers and is it a

237

:

Surendra Varma: uh, yes.

238

:

So when I said, you know, so when, so

usually what happens when we talk and

239

:

tell the customer to a customer, they

really love it, saying that this is what

240

:

I needed, but uh, is it something that I

need it urgently because it's hr, right?

241

:

It's not going to impact my business.

242

:

Uh, you know, because

I've been managing so far.

243

:

Right, so we'll have to push saying that

if you don't do it, you will not be able

244

:

to scale up, you know, you'll be, you'll

still be doing manual things and you will

245

:

probably be spending a lot of your time in

terms of doing operational then focusing

246

:

on core is what we'll have to push.

247

:

We'll have to make them aware

of these things and somebody who

248

:

understands it probably buys it

but most of the time it is push

249

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

250

:

Right.

251

:

And then what about

the sales cycle, right?

252

:

So, I mean, I'm assuming it's

a thousand dollar deal, right?

253

:

How much, like what, what's a typical,

you know, sales cycle look like?

254

:

How long

255

:

Surendra Varma: or you will be

surprised saying that, uh, you

256

:

know, our, our average sales

cycle is around maximum two weeks.

257

:

Upendra Varma: two weeks and then

258

:

Surendra Varma: if they're not

buying within, if they're not

259

:

buying within three, two weeks,

it means they're not interested.

260

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

261

:

And what happens during these two weeks?

262

:

Right.

263

:

So is it you, how do

you showcase your value?

264

:

Surendra Varma: So there are two things.

265

:

One is, of course, uh, uh, there's

a conversation which happens as a

266

:

detailed demo, which happens is a

detailed product demo, which happens.

267

:

Uh, and, and, and there are a lot

of free things that we offer saying

268

:

that, you know, if you really want

to build policy, these are the free

269

:

tools, tips that we probably offer.

270

:

So we, so people, when we think that

they are not kind of interested,

271

:

we start sending them certain.

272

:

Thank you.

273

:

free tips, free tools so that, you

know, so just to help them, right.

274

:

So it's, it's more about consulting

sales, you know, primarily then, then

275

:

going and pushing, because it's like,

if you don't feel that you have a need,

276

:

you will ultimately not buying it.

277

:

And even if you buy it, you'll

leave it beyond a point.

278

:

Upendra Varma: Okay.

279

:

And you are in fact

selling consulting, right?

280

:

I think you can easily

demonstrate the value, right?

281

:

And now it's going to be working with you.

282

:

Got it.

283

:

That makes a lot of sense, right?

284

:

So, and then just help me

understand it where your customer

285

:

base is primarily based out of.

286

:

Surendra Varma: We're quite spread

across India, so we've been, we've

287

:

been India focused as of now because

we see there's a huge potential, uh,

288

:

the way the startup ecosystem and M

m E things are going in our country.

289

:

Uh, I think, uh, you know, 40,

50% of your G D P is being driven

290

:

by startup and M S M E, uh, and

they are the highest job creators.

291

:

Right.

292

:

So, and I'm pretty bullish

about the way things are growing

293

:

and the way the ecosystem is

growing and getting mature is.

294

:

You know, this is going to be one

of the largest, largest market

295

:

when it comes to HR as a service.

296

:

Upendra Varma: any plans to move to, you

know, us market or something like that?

297

:

Because at this price point, right.

298

:

I mean, if you can crack it, I mean,

it's going to be in that state.

299

:

I mean, you could just

300

:

Surendra Varma: Yeah, so even if we go

to the US, probably, yeah, so we even

301

:

if you're going to US, this is not going

to be the price point, of course, right?

302

:

So, but yeah, we are looking to get into

a market which is getting developed.

303

:

So we have set, we have started some

of the partners, we have a couple

304

:

of customers that we built up, we're

just trying, you know, because the

305

:

US is a very mature market, right?

306

:

Upendra Varma: Yeah.

307

:

Surendra Varma: And their

expectation is very different.

308

:

Now, when you are very mature, uh,

you don't need, uh, you know, uh,

309

:

certain services like this, right?

310

:

When you are not mature or when you

are not, you don't have skills and

311

:

resources to kind of have these things.

312

:

Uh, and, and when you are able to, and

India is, is, is a pretty difficult market

313

:

to kind of, you know, because there's

no standardization when it comes to HR.

314

:

US is pretty standard, right?

315

:

So there you know that, you know, a one

plus one is going to be two, right here,

316

:

India, you know, there are, there are

leaves policy, there are things like that,

317

:

which is very, very customized, right?

318

:

And people don't follow the

complies and things like that

319

:

things are getting strict.

320

:

Now everything is getting online.

321

:

From a taxation perspective,

GST perspective.

322

:

Now people have realized the

importance of being structured.

323

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

324

:

And so as you talk

325

:

Surendra Varma: there is a huge potential,

326

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

327

:

Yeah.

328

:

And then like best of luck

on that journey as well.

329

:

Right.

330

:

So, and let's talk about

that zero to one, right?

331

:

How did it all start for you?

332

:

I mean, I'm, I'm sure you didn't start

on day one and say, okay, I'm going

333

:

to build a HRMS platform with, you

know, consulting services around that.

334

:

Right.

335

:

There must have been a story

on how you reached here.

336

:

Right.

337

:

So what's, what's that story?

338

:

Did you just

339

:

Surendra Varma: Correct.

340

:

So I so

341

:

Upendra Varma: of that?

342

:

Surendra Varma: yeah, so I

started my background is I'm

343

:

basically an HR professional.

344

:

So work with a lot of midsize

growing organization and I've seen

345

:

HR challenges getting multifolded

or evolving as the organization was.

346

:

So when you are 50, the

problem is very different.

347

:

When you're 100, the

problem is very different.

348

:

When you're at 500, the problem

is very, very different.

349

:

Right now.

350

:

So HR also has to get evolved, get

mature to understand what are the

351

:

business challenges and then probably

we'll be able to kind of Uh, create

352

:

that ecosystem to help organization

to grow beyond a point, right?

353

:

It goes in hand in hand, right?

354

:

I mean, and then, you know, while using

a lot of HRMS system, I've realized that

355

:

though there are a lot of HRMS players

in the market, this market is cluttered.

356

:

Uh, there are so many players, but

what is missing is You know, in terms

357

:

of so far, a lot of products have been

built by IT people and been sold to HR.

358

:

Uh, it was never been looked at from

an HR perspective saying that what are

359

:

the problems with HR people and how do

you solve that and make it very simple,

360

:

don't make it so complicated, right?

361

:

Uh, you know, uh, and

that is what we tried.

362

:

So that's how it started.

363

:

So I started with a recruitment

firm and then got into consulting.

364

:

Started considering a

lot of, uh, companies.

365

:

And then, you know, we were also

implementing a lot of other third

366

:

party products because they were, uh,

you know, expecting us to implement

367

:

and automate the HRMS process.

368

:

Uh, and then we realized during the

process implementation that this is so

369

:

Upendra Varma: so you had an

agency, successful agency, you know,

370

:

before this and then you eventually

transitioned with, you know,

371

:

Surendra Varma: Correct.

372

:

So we initially started offering services.

373

:

We realized that only service is

not going to help so that, you

374

:

know, we started building platforms.

375

:

Upendra Varma: Mhm.

376

:

Got it.

377

:

And then you

378

:

Surendra Varma: That's how the journey

379

:

Upendra Varma: And then, and I'm

assuming that's where you got

380

:

your first few customers, right?

381

:

Surendra Varma: Oh, yes, absolutely.

382

:

Upendra Varma: Yeah.

383

:

So have you raised any external

funding so far to build your company?

384

:

Surendra Varma: We did.

385

:

We did.

386

:

So, you know, as I told you, like,

I was working as part of one of the

387

:

tech company, which probably came

from 13 million to almost 200 million.

388

:

And they're there.

389

:

So one of the VPs, you know, from

that organization, and the CEO

390

:

of the last organization is my

angel investors on board, right?

391

:

And they're not just the angel investor,

they are also advisors, and they They

392

:

advise us because they have, they have,

they've taken a journey of a company

393

:

from say in 10 years from say 2 million

to almost, uh, you know, 100 million.

394

:

Upendra Varma: and then how

much did you raise there?

395

:

Surendra Varma: So it

was around, uh, 200 K.

396

:

Upendra Varma: 200 million.

397

:

Got it.

398

:

And yeah, and whatever, talk

about the team today, right?

399

:

How big of a team do you

have and what do they do?

400

:

Surendra Varma: So the team size

is around currently 40 people.

401

:

Uh, you know, and I, we've had

a pretty decent experience guys.

402

:

So my sales is from a HR tech

background who comes with

403

:

almost 14 plus years experience.

404

:

My, my tech directories is from

a similar background where.

405

:

He was working with Oracle

building similar h c m products.

406

:

Uh, my customer success head

is almost 20 years experience.

407

:

My HR practice team or HR services team,

uh, you know, the average experience is

408

:

Upendra Varma: how many, how

many in that HR services team?

409

:

Approximately

410

:

Surendra Varma: We have around,

uh, 15 people in HR services

411

:

Upendra Varma: That, that, that adds up.

412

:

And then what's, what's the vision here?

413

:

Right?

414

:

So how do you get to, let's say, a hundred

k r r or 500 k r r and how, how soon are

415

:

you, you know, anticipating to get there?

416

:

Surendra Varma: right?

417

:

So, so we are, we are just, we, we have

just become, uh, you know, uh, breakeven.

418

:

The idea is to now raise the next

level of funds or to, you know,

419

:

so, so growing set, two x three x.

420

:

Is what has been we've been able to

do it so far now what we are looking

421

:

at to grow say, at least a text and

x right and and and the vision is to

422

:

kind of, uh, not approach as a company

only as a HR HRMS company, you want

423

:

to build an ecosystem, we want to

play only in startup and MSME segment.

424

:

So any company which is starting

from zero to 500 is what the journey

425

:

that we're looking at is primarily

the the ICP that we're looking at.

426

:

And we are looking to kind of build

an entire ecosystem saying that

427

:

Anything or everything related

to employee or employer problem.

428

:

Everything is available on the

platform as small as employer.

429

:

So employer wants to offer, say,

mediclaim to or any extended help, right?

430

:

Employees looking for, say, as small as

help in terms of finding a house or, or,

431

:

or a school admission for their kids to,

to getting the loan and everything is

432

:

going to be available on this platform.

433

:

So we are looking to kind

of make it Thank you.

434

:

As a holistic ecosystem, which

basically not only helps our

435

:

organization to manage employees, but it

436

:

helps to attract and should

become a differentiator see and

437

:

get should be a differentiator in

organization, wherever they are

438

:

implementing that's what my vision is.

439

:

Upendra Varma: Got it.

much, much greater heights.
