Here are some thoughts on the subject to spark off discussion:
The SaaS (Software as a Service) model is an interesting development in the enterprise software segment. My predictions are that:
We could see investment in SaaS companies in the India-US corridor with a lot of development and support located out of India.
I also think the SaaS model offers an opportunity for Indian IT companies to enter the software product space. Indian IT companies have hitherto acquired niche consultimg companies. They may acquire enterprise software product compoanies and morph them to a more managed services organizations.

I would love to connect with folks who are thinking of these opportunities.

I have gone through your fine article on future of software(SaaS), ideal for non IT people to subscribe the service to meet their day to day needs as well as due to it’s nature of service it has proved cost effective & higher adoption rate.
SaaS business model will be effective and functional in indian market especially for the large scale of existing
beneficiaries,i.e.SMB segment of indian industry due to it’s hassle free nature of service.No additional expenses to purchase licensed software copy, IT maintenance, upgade the application, host at data centre. Just pay nominal monthly subscription and use the service. I use to write web site content as free lancer and luckily at present I am associated with a start up company as a content writer.They are also going to launch SaaS product within a month targetting the unorganized sections of indian industry. Having seen your deepen interest with SaaS delivery model I am eager to be in touch with you to share knowledge regarding SaaS.
We are almost ready with SaaS for Indian market; having customers more than 10,000 on desk-top with our “Udyog Excise” software. Looking for some one to take a leading role in bringing this to market in full swing.
