Watch Dhruvil Sanghvi, CEO of LogiNext, speak with Krish Subramanian, cofounder and CEO of Chargebee, decode the product-market fit, go-to-market strategies and the challenges startup faced on its way to a billion-dollar valuation. During his conversation with LogiNext CEO Dhruvil Sanghvi, Subramanian also spoke about the company’s decision to lay off 10% of its employees in spite of raising funds not long ago. “One of the things that naturally happens in most of the hypergrowth companies is that inefficiencies get scaled up along with efficiencies,” said Subramanian. According to him, in most companies, people are thrown at problems to find solutions ‘without thinking automation-first’, which may lead to unnecessary hiring and an increase in cost inefficiencies. “I will give you a case in point. . .you give a budget to attack a problem, and the team ends up focussing on the problem and not the most efficient and sustainable way long term. And that means that you may actually throw people at certain problems, instead of actually thinking of automation first — and that comes back to bite you when you realise that these are all inefficiencies and that you cannot keep doubling the people in these areas for you to have a sustainable and long term growth,” he explained. Although India’s SaaS economy has great potential and continues to grow exponentially, it is clear that the sector is not immune to market headwinds. While the ecosystem grapples with a harsh funding winter and a global economic slowdown, zeroing in on cost-efficient and sustainable growth remains the primary focus of these startups. Inc42 and LogiNext’s Masters Of SaaS series aim to highlight some of the most significant success stories emerging from the Indian ecosystem to help propel the country’s SaaS narrative to the global arena.
