Growth Outlook
Strong — Indian SaaS, fintech-SaaS, and US-SaaS-with-India-offices all keep hiring AEs aggressively as the B2B SaaS export engine grows. The Indian SaaS ecosystem was a $25B+ export industry in FY25 and is targeting $100B by 2030; Freshworks, Zoho, Postman, Chargebee, BrowserStack, MoEngage, and hundreds of Series B–D companies are all expanding quota-carrying AE headcount. AI is compressing SDR-layer volume but increasing AE productivity and pay.
