The SAAS-X Podcast
Interviews with Indian and global SaaS founders to extract actionable advice on building and scaling a tech business.
A founder-led podcast that pivoted from short-form financial advice to in-depth interviews with SaaS entrepreneurs and the experts who serve them. The host, a lawyer and Chartered Accountant, methodically questions guests to create practical playbooks on topics like fundraising, team building, and market strategy, often with a specific focus on the Indian market.
“Unlike many founder interview shows, the host's legal and financial background informs a direct, playbook-oriented questioning style. The specific focus on the Indian market and its unique challenges provides a targeted perspective not often found in global SaaS podcasts.”
