Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India
Event Details:

Software as a service, or SaaS, is a software delivery model that hosts business applications—such as customer relationship management (CRM) services, human resources management services, content management systems (CMS) or accounting services—on the cloud (in most cases, on the internet). By using cloud computing to deliver these virtual services, customers reduce costs normally associated with hosting data on physical servers and machines. SaaS has grown significantly within the last few years due to both consumers’ and businesses’ insatiable appetites for easy access to and consumption of online data.

To explore this emerging market and bring prominent startups delivering their services using SaaS model, Headstart Ahmedabad along with eChai is organizing session on "Building a SaaS business". Do join-in and be part of most exciting conversations along with other entrepreneurs of the city.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
