Software stack to build and run a SaaS startup in India
Start with the product itself: a place to write and ship code, host it reliably, and catch errors in production, because nothing else matters until customers can actually use what you built. Next, get the team coordinated with project management and a shared knowledge base so work and decisions are not lost in chat. Then put customer acquisition on a real CRM so leads, demos, and deals are tracked rather than living in inboxes. Add billing and accounting once you have paying users, choosing payment rails that fit whether you sell to India, abroad, or both, and keep GST-clean books from day one. Finish with customer support, product analytics, and access security so you can keep users happy, see what they actually do, and not get breached. Do not buy enterprise sales, analytics, and security suites before you have product-market signal; sequence around shipping and getting your first paying customers.
