With software adoption gaining speed amidst the pandemic, investors in India and globally have started evincing interest in the country’s burgeoning business-to-business (B2B) enterprise segment that was often overlooked by risk capital investors earlier.
While software-as-a-service (SaaS) and deep technology in India are emerging as sweet spots for the investor fraternity, these sectors are still at a developing stage in the country. Startups operating in this space will have to chart out global expansion plans and tap large enterprises in the developed markets of the US and Europe to be able to scale and attract big investments at later stages, said Inflexor Ventures Managing Partner Venkat Vallabhaneni in an exclusive interaction with DealStreetAsia.
“With the liquidity availability and low-interest rates, a lot of money is flowing towards leveraging this technology for the competitive advantage. But to scale in the long run, these companies would be required to align their product strategy with the go-to-market strategy,” he said.
Inflexor Ventures is currently investing from its second technology fund, which hit a close at $81 million recently. The fund will focus on fintech, healthtech, consumer tech, agritech and also invest in futuristic sectors like space technology.
