SaaS founders head to Silicon Valley to tap into AI innovation

As tech startups such as Meesho, Flipkart, Groww and Razorpay shift their focus back home, a counter-trend is emerging among SaaS (software-as-a-service) founders. A growing number are moving their bases to Silicon Valley, citing the need to stay closer to the nerve centre of artificial intelligence innovation.

These entrepreneurs are betting that proximity to the Valley’s thriving tech ecosystem will be crucial to accelerating their next phase of growth. Arvind Parthiban, CEO and co-founder of SuperOps, is among them. “For us, it’s also about embedding ourselves deeper into the network that powers the future of SaaS. Being on the ground gives us a better pulse on innovation and helps us stay ahead of the curve,” he told FE.
