Opportunities are indeed available in plenty, but some come masked in crisis. These crisis needs to be explored and addressed. This is what the pandemic did. It brought unparalleled opportunities along with the challenges we as individuals and professionals had to deal with.

One such opportunity was for businesses to shift to cloud due to the need for scalability and digital technology adoption. This is why the SaaS industry globally is estimated to be around $400 billion by 2025; however, these companies must ensure business continuity during times like COVID-19, reported NASSCOM.

The report further said that the pure-play India SaaS industry in India has the potential to grow to $13-14 billion, reporting a sixfold growth.

As Debjani Ghosh, NASSCOM President said that as a technology industry, we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to the use cases that can be delivered via SaaS to benefit across sectors. Like she highlighted that India today needs greater cross-industry collaborations, supportive government policy, and investment in deep technologies to further the growth of the SaaS industry exponentially
