Sramana Mitra: One of the things that I’m excited about in what’s happening right now is the smaller businesses’ ability to afford technology.

That opportunity is still very big.

Sramana Mitra: That is absolutely correct in the examples that you’re giving. There is one thing I want to point out for the audience. Remember when software was being sold by large companies to large enterprises. Back then, this whole category of software companies came in and priced very low SaaS offerings and started selling to SME.

That was a very different business, and their customers are really the no-name customers. That was the strategy that they followed successfully. So that is a valid strategy.
