WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Once positioned to reduce the overall software spend, SaaS has become one of the highest spend categories for companies. A company could use as many as 1600 apps across the software categories. The spend might even be more for software companies that are buying someone else's software to manage their own infrastructure. Industrial companies might struggle to understand why building custom software might not be the smartest idea because of the amount of software required to manage the software infrastructure.In today's episode, our guest, Indus Khaitan, discusses the strategies for centralizing and controlling SaaS spend. He also discusses the difference between other similar technologies such as P-card, corporate credit cards, and the technology he developed. Finally, he discusses other features, such as why it's important to control the spend before it actually occurs and blacklisting the spend categories.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

In this episode of SaaS Origin Stories, Phil speaks with Indus Khaitan, CEO of Quolom, the best way to buy SaaS through the use of a simple card. Prior to this, he was the Chief of Growth at Chargebee, an Advisor at Sequoia Capital, the Senior Director of Product Management at Oracle, and the Co-Founder of Bitzer Mobile.They discuss how Indus found the problem points of SaaS and marketing products, how to handle feedback rejection as a startup (as well as why timing is so important), and the best way to find new customers in different communities. They also take a deep dive into how difficult it can be to start an entirely new product with no one to compare against.He is a very experienced individual and we're lucky to have him as a guest.Guest at a Glance:Name: Indust KhaitanAbout Indus: Indus Khaitan is the CEO of Quolom, the best way to buy SaaS through the use of a simple card. Prior to this, he was the Chief of Growth at Chargebee, an Advisor at Sequoia Capital, the Senior Director of Product Management at Oracle, and the Co-Founder of Bitzer Mobile. One of his past colleagues, Melanie Fortman, said: “Indus has been a great coach, mentor and inspiration to me at Chargebee. He challenges me to be creative, think out of the box, and continually learn.”Indus on LinkedInQuolom on LinkedInQuolom's WebsiteTopics we cover:The straightforwardness of QuolomPicking out the problem points of industry dataFinding those first few customersTaking on feedback and handling rejectionDiscovering new methods of outreachAligning yourself with the customer's problemsWhat to do when your product is almost too uniqueBalancing the investor's and the customer's needsKey Takeaways:The Abuse of Sales and Marketing ToolsWhen starting Quolom, Indus was looking out for the problem points that plagued content and marketing tools. He noticed that businesses were using up to five products to do one job; he didn't want to cancel these products out, he wanted to make sure the customers were happy with the product and that he could provide the best service for them. Such an overabundance of clashing products meant that they were being abused, and he wanted to mitigate that.“Our job was to figure out how you, as a customer, can be the happiest user of the product, rather than having five overlapping tools and then canceling them properly at the end of the year.”Searching LinkedIn for Customers and Handling RejectionIndus didn't have any CFO connections on LinkedIn when he first started Quolom, something which he thought would be a massive problem. However, through his own contacts he was given recommendations and immediately started connecting and building his network. All of them gave him the same feedback: the product was good, just not something that they'd use right now. This, naturally, got Indus down a little. But after a few days, he went back to the drawing board and made it what it is today!“So, the first version of the product only focused on tracking the usage [...] But what the tool does is, you have to be in the flow of money. How much money are we spending on products, and then tell me what to do.”Search for Customers in New PlacesThere are more places than LinkedIn to find B2B and SaaS customers (despite what others might have you believe). If you scour the internet for communities on places like Twitter and Reddit, you'll be able to find an abundance of new customers. These people might not even be customers, they might just help to inform you on how to alter your business. This can be extremely valuable for you to grow. “We also looked at people who were complaining about software waste and software usage on either forums on Reddit, LinkedIn, or Twitter, and then we started doing an outreach. We also started looking at companies who were using some of these bigger tools.”The Challenges of Starting a New CategoryBeing innovative and disruptive in an industry with a new category is an incredible thing - in fact, it's encouraged. But there is a slight problem that you will face in your unique journey: the lack of competitors. On the surface, that sounds like a dream, right? Competitors can also be seen as a jumping off point, as someone to copy or imitate and figure out how to improve upon what they're not doing so well at. With Quolom being so unique, this proved quite the issue for Indus.“If you're building something which is brand new in a brand new category, that's a struggle. There is no competitor to go after; nobody can tell you ‘hey, go look at that competitor and copy them'. For us, SaaS spend management or procurement, it was an absolutely brand new category and we didn't have anybody to look up to and say ‘oh, I want to be a better version of that'.”

After discovering a problem in the tech industry that people needed help solving, Indus set out to build a business model that would help reduce tech expenses. With no background in finance, he follows his curiosity and creates a billion-dollar business, but little did he know that the CFOs would come in with an unexpected solution. What will happen next? You are at the mercy of your own deeds. Indus Khaitan is an entrepreneur who has thrived on curiosity and persistence in problem-solving. Growing up in a small mining town in India, he has come a long way to become the founder of Quolum, a SaaS and cloud spend reduction product. Indus previously founded Bitzer Mobile, which became Oracle's first acquisition in mobile. His passion for solving unique problems led him also to co-found Morpheus, a venture capital firm that supported early-stage startups in India. With a penchant for diving deep into unexplored areas, he has learned the importance of balancing family life and career while tackling challenges head-on. Indus Khaitan's journey began in a small mining town in eastern India, where he learned the importance of working hard and taking ownership of problems. This mentality stayed with him as he experimented in various fields, ultimately leading to Quolum's founding in 2019. Indus' curiosity and persistence to solve problems allowed him to adapt Quolum's product from a simple software-only card to an end-to-end tech spend reduction and management platform. Despite having yet to gain experience in finance, Indus contacted second-degree connections on LinkedIn, seeking feedback and insight. His discussions with his contacts led to the lightbulb moment of incorporating a card designed for software purchases to make Quolum relevant to them and their processes. In this episode, you will be able to: Awaken your inherent curiosity and unlock the power of persistence in tackling complex problems.Master leveraging customer feedback to set the right course for your product.Discover the secret of finding product-market fit by harnessing your industry expertise.Learn how to drive massive traffic with compelling and top-notch content.Cultivate a thriving company culture through effective leadership and collaborative efforts.

By maintaining open-ended interactions, entrepreneurs can collect honest input that may help shape the direction of their product. In the Predictable B2B Success Podcast, Indus Khaitan emphasizes the importance of leveraging early customer feedback and being a domain expert to find product market fit.

Indus Khaitan is the founder of Quolum, an On Deck Scale company funded by Sequoia and Nexus. He founded Bitzer Mobile that was created on the heels of the ‘08 recession, and exited, in what was Oracle's first acquisition in mobile. He led growth at Chargebee where revenue grew 3X. In his free time, he flies a single-engine Cessna 172 over the bay area. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Indus Khaitan discuss:Culture is communication Documentation is part of being connected Change has to come from above Affirming people with acknowledgment Key Takeaways:Culture is communication. Both synchronous and asynchronous communication maintains that feeling of being connected with each other. Through that feeling of being always on, it will feel like you're always communicating. There are few face-to-face meetings happening nowadays in the virtual workplace, something that will keep people connected besides communication is documentation. When a problem presents itself, it has to be clearly documented. Change has to come from the person at the top. The leader has to set an example for everybody. If the leader is ever lax on a certain procedure, the organization's members will stop taking it seriously. Whenever you receive a message, acknowledge it. Reply to it, even if just to say that you don't have a definitive response to the message yet or that you don't understand the message at the moment. Affirm people so that they'll be encouraged to keep communicating."When you see a written communication, acknowledge it. bring those small pieces of, I would say micro dopamine hits to the person who's trying to communicate because that acknowledgment makes [them] feel ‘oh, I'm being heard.'" — Indus Khaitan See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Indus Khaitan: Website: https://quolum.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khaitan Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

He was head of growth at Chargebee where he discovered a unique opportunity to cut out large SaaS costs for companies. Listen to this episode to hear Indus explain his interesting yet simple approach to SaaS. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quolum is a subscription management business, helping clients consume SaaS in a way that works for them focusing on security, privacy and value. Quolum's primary go-to-market strategy is outbound, where they focus on finance professionals, particularly mid-market businesses, to enter their funnel. Indus' innovation around this subscription management product came from his experiences as chief of growth at Chargebee. It was here Indus found an astonishing amount of wastage in SaaS subscriptions. Quolum created what they call a ‘SaaS' card that clients only use to buy SaaS products, allowing them to be able to manage everything behind the scenes. Brand building is essential to Quolum's growth, focusing on being recognised for their innovative solutions that save companies both time and money.

Chapter 11, Agile Coach Failure, Recovery, and Success Modes, begins Part 3 of Coaching Agile Teams. Part 3 titled “ Getting More for Yourself.” Chapter 11 hits the topic of failure head-on, sharing both failure and success modes. Anyone that has been in the business of agile coach (coach, Scrum Master, manager, or others) for more than a few years and has pushed the boundaries of culture will have failures on their CV. Coaching is hard, training and continuous learning are important but not enough. A coach without experience is a trainee. A wide range of experience, which opens the door to successes and failures, is a learning opportunity that classes and webinars can't deliver.

SPaMCAST 723 features our essay on neglected WIP. Work that has been started and is now just sitting around is neglected. Running a team or organization above their natural level WIP for any length of time causes flow velocity (throughput) to slow and flow time (cycle time) to increase. When there is too much work, people try all sorts of techniques to get work done. Multitasking is the grandfather of them all and we all know how that turns out (need a hint – badly). In the end, all approaches to trying to do too many ends up with some things being juggled and ignored. That is neglected WIP. We also have a visit from Jon M Quigley and his Alpha and Omega of Product Development Column. In this column Jon and I discuss time. Speaking of time, this is a lost episode…we started the episode discussing snow, last year's snow. We talked last week and were discussing when the first snow will be this year. Sometimes time flys and sometimes it doesn't. Re-read Saturday News This week we reread Chapter 10 of Coaching Agile Teams by Lyssa Adkins (SPaMCAST Amazon affiliate link https://amzn.to/38G0ZD3). The chapter is titled Coach as Coordination Conductor. The two most important items for me during this read of chapter 10 are found in the first part of this chapter. Reflecting back on my previous cover-to-cover read, I think that the number of great facilitation techniques in this chapter caused me to overlook two very important concepts. The first is an approach for differentiating collaboration and coordination. The approach is simple but very powerful. Why would any coach care about observing the difference? Because the two concepts are different and are useful in different scenarios. Logistics Note: We have three more chapters in this book which we will follow with a recap before starting.
