India's SaaS ecosystem has matured significantly — engineers from Freshworks, Zoho, Chargebee, Postman and hundreds of funded B2B SaaS startups have product ownership DNA that maps directly to what global SaaS companies need from a GCC. They've built feature flags, A/B testing infrastructure, usage-based billing, multi-region deployments and GDPR-compliant data pipelines — the exact stack most SaaS GCCs require.
