What makes Annu Talreja special? Is it an MBA from INSEAD? Or is it fifteen years of high-flying corporate stints at marquee labels?   What makes Annu Talreja unique? She happens to be one of the few women self-made founders in the business of real estate. Is this her superpower? Covid choked her maiden venture. She was shaken, but not stirred. She started again. Is this what makes her unique?   What makes Annu Talreja an entrepreneur? Just one thing. GRIT. What makes her a survivor? Just one thing. GRIT. What makes her a warrior? Again, just one thing. GRIT.   As we roll out the second season of #TheGritStories - curated by SaaSBoomi, what we promise you on Fridays--the first and the third of every month—is inspiring stories, packed with loads and loads of grit, guts, and chutzpah. Time for action, folks. Enjoy. https://lnkd.in/g5pee7sj

Clueso was nominated for 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗮𝗦 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 at SaaSBoomi Annual ’25 last week! 🚀 Exactly one year ago, we were on the same stage giving a demo of Clueso (YC W23) to an audience of 1,000+ SaaS founders. Back then, we had just launched and had only a handful of customers. Fast forward to this year, we returned as award nominees, now serving hundreds of amazing companies, including several publicly listed organizations and unicorn startups. It's genuinely humbling to be recognized alongside startups we deeply admire.   And here's something really special: two of the four other nominees in our category are also Clueso customers! In fact, over half of all the companies nominated across the different awards this year use Clueso. 🤯 Huge congratulations to Presentations.AI on winning the award – very well-deserved for their exceptional growth! Special thanks to Avinash Raghava, the entire SaaSBoomi team, and the amazing volunteers for the nomination and for everything they do to help founders and startups. We’ve gained so much from this community and couldn’t be more grateful! And last but certainly not least, none of this would have been possible without our incredible team. Huge shoutout to all our team members for their phenomenal work, relentless dedication, and for continuously delivering beyond expectations!

What a launch of the book "All In" from Girish Mathrubootham on his big birthday in Chennai. The book is a culmination of his life learnings applied from his early-days to the journey of Freshworks. Loved every page of this book. Read several chapters with Girish at his home a few weeks back. I got emotional a bit after reading the book. Couldn't sleep much as I was trying to relate his thoughts and actions to his life experiences. There is so much for every one in this book, including every founder, every startup enthusiast, and every person. It is my fortune that I met Girish Mathrubootham almost 15 years back and our relationship has graduated from Investor -> Board Member -> Partner -> Ecosystem Builder -> Friend -> Family. In this journey, I have learnt so much from his journey. Do read the book. It is coming out shortly on Amazon.

SaaSBoomi thrives just like this first-ever A Cappella, which premiered at #SBAnnual25, voices uniting, hearts aligning, magic unfolding. 🎶 A testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. ✨ Jai Hind. 🇮🇳 🎬 Sehar Dabur & Matthew John #Community #People

A decade ago, when product founders were hungry for a community to learn and grow with, SaaSx was born. My friend Avinash Raghava, along with other stalwarts from the ecosystem, championed this movement, one that has since evolved into SaaSBoomi. The ultimate goal was to make India a Product Nation with #SaaS as its core. Today, we're 6,500+ startups strong and stand at a pivotal moment, set in the age of #AI. The whole industry is getting disrupted, and once again, there is an impending need for evolution. After meeting with several founders and thought leaders, both in India and in Silicon Valley, Avinash and the rest of our tribe members now stand warmed up to take our biggest leap yet. The Product Nation mission is now not just SaaS but also AI-first business models that will push India higher on the global map. To align with the above, I, alongside Avinash Raghava, Suresh Sambandam, the rest of the founding team, staffers, volunteers, speakers, and the audience, took a solemn Oath of Light at #SBAnnual25 to make this dream a reality. From this oath was born #BoomiAI—a new initiative under SaaSBoomi's broader umbrella, designed to complement and extend our existing community in the age of AI.

The last few days have underlined what SaaSBoomi is at its core, a shrine of friendship and camaraderie! What we witnessed was nothing short of magic. A village of volunteers, speakers, founders, sponsors, and ecosystem partners came together to build something truly special—far bigger than an event. SaaSBoomi has become a home where bonds are forged, ideas take flight, and the spirit of giving back defines us. To everyone who poured their heart into making #SBAnnual25 a grand success—thank you. This wasn’t just an event. This was a #SaaS + #AI movement in motion. Till we meet again. 💌 Krish Subramanian, Suresh Sambandam, Chaitanya Chokkareddy, Srikrishnan Ganesan, Shruti Kapoor, Sudheer Bandaru, Aishwarya Thilak, Prasanna Krishnamoorthy, Suhasini Dudhwewala, Deepti Prasad, Aastha Sharma, Neha Arya, Nivedha Venkatesh, Madhumitha Mani, Shivangi Sahu, Keerthi Madhu, Arvind Parthiban, Abhishek Ballabh, Dhanyal Radha Gopi🎙, Ketan Pandit, Georgie Paul, Varun Thirumalai, Kingston David, Siddharth Shah, Neeraj Singal, Vivek Khandelwal, Anil George, 🧠 Sridhar Ranganathan, Rohith Veerajappa, Ranga Raj, Ankit Oberoi, Mrigank Tripathi, Sachin Bhatia, Vishal Virani, Vinod Muthukrishnan, Aditya Sanghi, Deepak Dhanak, Ashwin Ramasamy, Ankit Dudhwewala, Sandeep Todi, and many other friends.
