Industry playbook
Remote hiring for SaaS
SaaS companies live and die by shipping velocity and gross margin. A remote India team lets a Series A startup double engineering output while keeping burn low enough to reach the next milestone — the difference between an 18-month and a 30-month runway.
Why India works here
- Deep bench of product engineers who have shipped SaaS before
- Timezone overlap for a few focused hours with US and EU teams
- Cost structure that protects gross margin as you scale seats
What to watch for
- Keep product context central — remote teams need the "why", not just tickets
- Invest in async docs so the timezone gap works for you, not against you
