“Excited to partner with Sequoia Capital India to accelerate our growth. While we are well-capitalized, this round gives us the firepower needed to double down on what’s working, hire great talent globally, launch innovative products, focus on brand marketing and get aggressive with strategic M&As. As SMBs will continue to adopt software to modernise different functions like sales, support, and marketing, etc. within their business, we are confident that SaaS Labs will be able to capture that opportunity and grow 30x in the coming 5-7 years.” said Gaurav Sharma, founder & CEO, SaaS Labs.
