A notion amongst most Indian SaaS entrepreneurs is to move to the US to expand or start from the US from Day 1 itself.
However, in today's episode, we've brought Anand Jain, Co-founder of CleverTap, to debunk this myth and shed more light on what an early-stage SaaS founder's roadmap should be in terms of either staying in India or moving to any global market.
