According to Apurv Agrawal, cofounder and CEO of SquadStack, the startup wants to revolutionise INR 80,000 Cr Indian telesales industry that lacks innovation. 

“Our combined solution of technology and human expertise solves a negative ROI problem for businesses and financially uplifts sales talent across the country. We’re looking to significantly expand our team. We believe that in the long run, great products and profit are the byproduct of a great team and work culture,” Agrawal said.

SquadStack operates in a hybrid work model across five cities including Noida, Gurgaon, Bengaluru, Goa and Mumbai. It is planning to expand to Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune in the coming months.

“We have a strong bullish thesis on ‘future of work’ and SquadStack fits strongly in that as their technology provides ownership and flexibility to the large, diverse and distributed sales talent in the country,” Rohit Sood, partner, Bertelsmann India Investments said.

In 2020, SquadStack raised nearly INR 36.8 Cr in Series A funding round led by Chiratae Ventures.

The report also added that the opportunities in the BFSI, ecommerce, and entertainment industries are expected to fuel the growth of the sales enablement software market.
