3 Reasons Developers in India Should Build Salesforce Apps in 2022
Have you ever considered building your own business? Maybe you had an idea for an innovative application, but bringing it to life felt impossible to achieve. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of becoming your own boss but didn’t know where to start, or maybe creating an app that serves millions of customers globally sounds like an exciting prospect. Getting started can be the hardest part, but if you have an innovative idea and the motivation to see it through, AppExchange has everything you need to begin your journey to entrepreneurial success.
Did you answer yes to any of the questions above? If so, I’ve rounded up three major reasons now is the perfect time to bring your business idea to life. Check out the list below that we gathered from a recent webinar with the Salesforce India developer community.
1. You’re Already Half Way There
Being a developer means you already have a strong foundation of expertise and are uniquely positioned to build great applications of your own. Your skillset can make an impact across industries and communities, putting you in a strong position to spot whitespace and seize opportunities. By simply shifting to an entrepreneurial mindset and leveraging the Salesforce Platform, you can monetize what you create and help build an enormous business value for customers.
Not to mention, 80% of all SaaS apps are the same. Building with Salesforce means developing with out-of-the-box capabilities so all you have to focus on is the 20% of coming up with a creative use case to make your app stand out from the crowd.
2. The Economy Is On Your Side
The economy in India is growing exponentially with ever-increasing VC investments and is set to become an estimated $5 trillion economy by 2025, and 11 startups are currently listed publicly through IPOs.
Successful tech leaders are talking about the opportunity of a lifetime for entrepreneurs following the boost in India’s digital transformation. What was once a nice-to-have for companies is now essential in a post-COVID world, meaning there is high demand for intelligent and innovative applications to help companies stay ahead of the competition.
Being at the forefront of digital transformation, the Salesforce Economy is driving immense growth for the India partner ecosystem and the Trailblazer community network. For every dollar that Salesforce makes, partners will make $6.19 by 2026.
“These are exciting and challenging times for all of us. India is a strategic growth market for Salesforce and a world-class innovation and talent hub. We continue to grow and guide our customers through their digital transformation journey which is a reflection of our commitment and continued investment in India” said Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chairperson and CEO of Salesforce India.
