NextStop

Launched Isotope - a podcast where people from different educational backgrounds talk about how they've built a successful career in SaaS. This podcast will be split into seasons where each season will focus on one particular job role in the SaaS space and will feature interviews with budding professionals who are flourishing in the field.

The LinkedIn post reached over 10,000 views and constantly posting on Twitter about the progress of the project got more eyes. Another key thing is that the Indian SaaS Outlook report that I've launched a couple of days back brought in 50 new leads from all over the country.

Designed a 10-page PDF report about the state of Indian SaaS, major deals that happened in 2020, key sectors to focus on, and the hottest job roles to watch out for in 2021. I've also included tips on how to connect with recruiters in these companies.

Wrote a post about NextStop and published it on LinkedIn. The post received over 160 reactions, 6000+ views, and several comments validating the idea. A lot of people from the SaaS industry pinged me and offered me their help in educating people on different non-technical domains such as finance, customer support, sales, etc. Received the first 100 sign ups within the first two days.

I've been collecting resources to help people learn about the different job roles in SaaS. This will provide them enough information in providing an informed decision while choosing a career. But, before launching the courses, I wanted to test how effective and appealing was the idea. Launched an early access program to understand customer needs and customize the courses before the launch.

I got the idea when I and my friend were talking at a bar. We both are from different educational backgrounds and we built a successful career in SaaS. I personally know a lot of people achieve it. It was either because of coincidence or luck. What about the rest? A lot of talented people are out there not knowing that they're capable of getting into SaaS. That became the idea for NextStop.
