We believe the discussion about India’s technology industry – whether in government circles, the media or in Silicon Valley – overlooks India’s B2B software product companies which sell globally as well as into India. Instead, there is a lot of discussion about IT Services companies and E-commerce players.
When there is discussion about B2B software products, it lacks insights into product types, target markets, scaling strategies, perception of Indian vendors in India and abroad as well as the vibrant start-up ecosystem that has emerged around B2B software companies from India. These insights are important because a strong Indian B2B software product industry has the potential to drive tens of thousands of high-value jobs, enable Indian manufacturing and services companies to be globally competitive, drive large amounts of export-driven foreign exchange earnings for India as well as create billions of dollars of value for founders and investors.
We would like to shine a spotlight on these Indian B2B software products companies through the India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B), which we are launching today. The index tracks the thirty most valuable B2B software product companies headquartered in India and companies headquartered elsewhere in the world where cofounders are in India right from the creation of the company onwards.
This is our first annual letter. Just as in this message, we will continue to share in a frank way what our goals are and where progress is being made and where it is not. This year we have chosen to focus, not on iSPIRT’s initiatives and activities, but on the software product industry itself. We discuss how software products will transform India at large and why the software product industry is strategic to our country. We conclude by explaining the evolutionary stages the rise of the Indian software product industry.

PM WANI 3.0: Unleashing Business Innovation and Open Wireless Network Growth ...ProductNation/iSPIRT
The document proposes an updated version of India's PM-WANI standard called WANI 3.0 to accelerate the growth of the open wireless network by enabling new business models and transactions. Key aspects of the proposed standard include supporting delegated payments between entities, recording transactions on an open ledger, and enabling network performance auditing to help the ecosystem grow in a quality-driven manner. The goal is to realize the full potential of PM-WANI by facilitating more participation from user app developers and small businesses.
WANI 3.0: Unleashing Business Innovation and Open Wireless Network Growth for...ProductNation/iSPIRT
PM-WANI has allowed sachetised access to WiFi connectivity. However, the true vision of WANI standard, where small business owners can participate as network service providers resulting in fast network growth, has not been realised. We propose the next version of the WANI standard where a more open ecosystem can be enabled to facilitate business interactions such as delegated payments and roaming, which in turn can catalyse increased user base, rapid network growth, and business innovations.
The PM-WANI framework is revised periodically, taking into account the new developments, security updates, etc. Version 1.0 was released in 2020 and this was used for the pilot deployments. The updated 2.0 specification was released in 2021 and is the current version in use. You could read more about these versions here: https://github.com/iSPIRT/PM-WANI-App-Provider/wiki/PM-WANI-Specification-1.0-vs-2.0

Civil aviation has, traditionally, been based on the notion of a pilot operating the aircraft from within the aircraft itself and more often than not with passengers on board. Rapid technological innovations have enabled pilotless aircraft which can be designed for specific applications that require precision or long duration which have been considered near impossible hitherto.
These aircraft also enable applications considered dull, dirty or dangerous, in other words, tasks that entail monotony or hazard for the pilot of a manned aircraft. Such pilotless aircraft make use of a ground-based or pre-programmed automatic controllers to manoeuvre the aircraft in flight and are generally termed as drones, although a better term is Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Traditionally, drones had been limited to military use due to high costs and technical sophistication. However, there is a far broader scope for UAS use, including, inter alia, commercial, scientific and security applications. These potential applications have driven innovations in UAS technology; especially in areas of control, navigation and energy storage; which have provided consumers with suitably small-sized cutting-edge products that are easy to operate and maintain at affordable prices. Today, due to economies of scale, consumers can purchase drones for less than a thousand rupees. Even sophisticated drones with advanced cameras and sensors are available for under fifty thousand rupees. Large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, on the other hand, are investing billions of dollars in building pilotless aircraft that are regarded safe enough for passenger long-distance intercontinental trips.
The main goal of building a Concept of Operations for India on the way to a thriving drone ecosystem in India was to allow consistent policymaking that would guide technological standards in the near future. We intend to establish a discussion with stakeholders and continue to improve our vision by holding Open House Sessions.

The Global Leadership Seminar is back with its second seminar on "Full Spectrum Thinking" with noted futurist Bob Johansen of The Institute for the Future.
In this video, Bob explains how Full-Spectrum Thinking provides leaders with the ability to seek clarity across gradients of possibility—while resisting the temptations of certainty. For example, medical doctors used to label people as “autistic.” Now, they say people are on the spectrum of autism disorders.
Full-spectrum thinking offers an alternative to sloppy categorical thinking that is so common today. It unlocks clarity while challenging certainty.
Bob Johansen is a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley. For more than 30 years, Bob has helped organizations around the world prepare for and shape the future, including corporations such as Nestle and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as major universities and nonprofits. He holds a B.S. from the University of Illinois, which he attended on a basketball scholarship, and a PhD from Northwestern University—as well as a master’s degree that focused on world religions.
The seminar was moderated by Prof. Vasanthi Srinivasan of IIM Bangalore. Prof. Srinivasan is a Professor in the Organizational Behaviour and HRM at IIMB. Her work over the last decade in the field of leadership development has focussed on building future-ready competencies.
Charles Assissi, veteran journalist, and co-founder of Founding Fuel, also joined to share his perspectives on Full Spectrum Thinking.
Please note: The seminar was organized by iSPIRT Foundation in association with NSRCEL of IIM Bangalore. This seminar series aims to bring the best of management wisdom to Indian companies and startups.

We are publishing a draft of the technical standards of the Personal Health Records (PHR) component of the National Health Stack (NHS)!
As a refresher, these standards govern the consented sharing of health information between Health Information Providers (HIPs) - like hospitals, pathology labs, and clinics - and Health Information Users (HIUs) like pharmacies, medical consultants, doctors, and so on. The user’s consent to share their health data is issued via a new entity called a Health Data Consent Manager (HDCM).
The problem today is that the electronic health records listed in one app or ecosystem are not easily portable to other systems. There is no common standard that can be used to discover, share, and authenticate data between different networks or ecosystems. This means that the electronic medical records generated by users end up being confined to many different isolated silos, which can result in frustrating and complex experiences for patients wishing to manage data lying across different providers.
With the PHR system, a user is able to generate a longitudinal view of their health data across providers. The interoperability and security of the PHR architecture allows users to securely discover, share, and manage their health data in a safe, convenient, and universally acceptable manner. For instance, a user could use a HDCM to discover their account at one hospital or diagnostic lab, and then select certain electronic reports to share with a doctor from another hospital or clinic. The flow of data would be safe, and the user would have granular control over who can access their data and for how long. Here is a small demo of the PHR system in action.
The standards in the draft released today offers a high-level description of the architecture and flows that make this possible.
India recently kicked off the Data Empowerment architecture, a framework for consented data sharing across the financial sector. This allows Nandini (Persona) to share data on her business’ regular invoices or GST payments seamlessly and securely.
Any bank or NBFC can now offer a regular stream of small-ticket working capital loans based on her demonstrated ability to repay. This is in sharp contrast to the status quo, where banks typically offer only larger loans backed by collateral. Using cash flows rather than collateral as the basis for credit is known as Flow-Based lending. Because producing collateral is a roadblock for the poorest Indians, Flow-Based lending may be their only opportunity to access the credit they sorely need for growth.
In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.
The document discusses Section 56(2)(viib) of the Indian Income Tax Act, which taxes capital raised by startups from domestic investors at a higher rate than capital from foreign investors. It outlines issues this causes for the Indian startup ecosystem, including declining domestic investment. It recommends short-term measures like waiving tax deposits for appeals and long-term measures like repealing the section or modifying it to exempt accredited investors and investments under Rs. 10 crore to support the Indian startup industry.
White paper on the analysis of High share premium amongst Startups in IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
High share premium is not the basis of a high valuation but the outcome of valid business decisions. This new whitepaper by iSPIRT highlights how share premia is a consequence of valid business decisions, why 56(2)(viib) is only for unaccounted funds and measures to prevent valid companies from being aggrieved by it
[Angel Tax] White Paper On Section 56 (2)(viib) And Section 68ProductNation/iSPIRT
Angel Tax (Section 56(2)(viib)) has become a cause celebre in Indian startup circles due to its broad-reaching ramifications on all startups raising capital. This paper traces the origin of this section, it's analysis, impact, how it adversely affects startups. Special mention is also made of the seldom covered Section 68 and it's used in conjunction with Section 56(2)(viib). The paper also proposes recommendations to ensure that genuine companies are not aggrieved by this while the original intent of the section is preserved.
New digital lending architecture: As Indian consumers and business go from being data poor to data rich in next 3 years, a new lending architecture which is digital, based on data footprints and using algorithms can scale up rapidly to provide credit for the underserved. This includes P2P lending. The Electronic Consent layer of the India Stack will leverage this data tsunami.
iSPIRT's Response on Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act (DISHA)ProductNation/iSPIRT
We believe that India is at a unique tipping point where only a fraction of its users have gone online, and a majority are yet to do so. Therefore, it is critical that we build the right set of protections and empowerments for these users as they enter the digital world.
It is equally important not to limit our thinking to simply “protection” of data. We must also question how we can “empower” individuals, who will be data rich before they are economically rich, with better access to their own healthcare data such that they can become more engaged participants and managers of their health care.
We welcome the proposed DISHA Act that seeks to Protect and Empower Individuals in regards to their electronic health data - we have provided our feedback on the DISHA Act and have also proposed technological approaches in this response

iSPIRT’s Response- White Paper on Data Protection Framework for IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
It is widely known that the amount of data generated daily worldwide is rising at an incredibly exponential rate. Yet, what remains shrouded is how this data, particularly those data types concerning or generated by us, as individuals, are being used and stored by both the public and private sector. As we move into a data-driven world, it is crucial that the laws developed around Data center on the premise of both empowering and protecting the individual. In fact, the main purpose of the 4th layer of India Stack, the “consent layer”, is just this: to provide for a set of tools and utilities, as part of the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA), that empower citizens to assert control over their data.
The Justice Srikrishna led committee of experts has released a White Paper articulating their provisional thoughts on the Data Protection Framework, and are seeking public comments on the subject. iSPIRT has submitted a formal response to the White Paper. You can also read the blog post lays out our current views regarding Data Protection here: http://pn.ispirt.in/india-in-a-digital-world/

Predicting Test Results without Execution (FSE 2024)andrehoraa
As software systems grow, test suites may become complex, making it challenging to run the tests frequently and locally. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been adopted in multiple software engineering tasks. It has demonstrated great results in code generation, however, it is not yet clear whether these models understand code execution. Particularly, it is unclear whether LLMs can be used to predict test results, and, potentially, overcome the issues of running real-world tests. To shed some light on this problem, in this paper, we explore the capability of LLMs to predict test results without execution. We evaluate the performance of the state-of-the-art GPT-4 in predicting the execution of 200 test cases of the Python Standard Library. Among these 200 test cases, 100 are passing and 100 are failing ones. Overall, we find that GPT-4 has a precision of 88.8%, recall of 71%, and accuracy of 81% in the test result prediction. However, the results vary depending on the test complexity: GPT-4 presented better precision and recall when predicting simpler tests (93.2% and 82%) than complex ones (83.3% and 60%). We also find differences among the analyzed test suites, with the precision ranging from 77.8% to 94.7% and recall between 60% and 90%. Our findings suggest that GPT-4 still needs significant progress in predicting test results.

Test Polarity: Detecting Positive and Negative Tests (FSE 2024)andrehoraa
Positive tests (aka, happy path tests) cover the expected behavior of the program, while negative tests (aka, unhappy path tests) check the unexpected behavior. Ideally, test suites should have both positive and negative tests to better protect against regressions. In practice, unfortunately, we cannot easily identify whether a test is positive or negative. A better understanding of whether a test suite is more positive or negative is fundamental to assessing the overall test suite capability in testing expected and unexpected behaviors. In this paper, we propose test polarity, an automated approach to detect positive and negative tests. Our approach runs/monitors the test suite and collects runtime data about the application execution to classify the test methods as positive or negative. In a first evaluation, test polarity correctly classified 117 tests as as positive or negative. Finally, we provide a preliminary empirical study to analyze the test polarity of 2,054 test methods from 12 real-world test suites of the Python Standard Library. We find that most of the analyzed test methods are negative (88%) and a minority is positive (12%). However, there is a large variation per project: while some libraries have an equivalent number of positive and negative tests, others have mostly negative ones.

Executive Summary
We believe the discussion about India’s technology industry – whether in government circles, the
media or in Silicon Valley – overlooks India’s B2B software product companies which sell globally as
well as into India. Instead, there is a lot of discussion about IT Services companies and E-commerce
players.
When there is discussion about B2B software products, it lacks insights into product types, target
markets, scaling strategies, perception of Indian vendors in India and abroad as well as the vibrant
start-up ecosystem that has emerged around B2B software companies from India. These insights
are important because a strong Indian B2B software product industry has the potential to drive
tens of thousands of high-value jobs, enable Indian manufacturing and services companies to be
globally competitive, drive large amounts of export-driven foreign exchange earnings for India as
well as create billions of dollars of value for founders and investors.
We would like to shine a spotlight on these Indian B2B software products
companies through the India Software Products Industry Index – B2B
(iSPIxB2B), which we are launching today. The index tracks the thirty most
valuable B2B software product companies headquartered in India and
companies headquartered elsewhere in the world where cofounders are in
India right from the creation of the company onwards.
To drive a focused discussion, we have chosen to include companies
that sell software to businesses on a license or subscription basis or where software drives a
differentiated B2B service such as a B2B exchange or advertising network. There are both business
applications and enabling technology companies in the top 30 list - the enabling technology
companies are in infrastructure software, tools and advertising technologies. We have chosen
to leave out B2C companies and certain B2B segments driven by software such as payments
technologies (fintech) and mobile value-added services (MVAS), each of which has developed fairly
vibrant eco-systems in India.
For the first time, there is now an objective source of data derived from company-specific metrics
about this segment of the market. Somewhat surprisingly, the data suggests that the B2B software
product industry has been growing nicely outside of the spotlight - the enterprise value of the top
30 companies is $6.2 billion (₹37,500 crores) which is higher than we would have imagined before
starting out on this effort. The top 30 companies employ over 18,000 people.
On a historical note, the B2B software product sector in India has been developing since the 1980s.
The index is currently dominated in terms of value by companies created in the 1990s and 2000s
that have generally not raised early-stage venture capital. From 2006 onwards the pace of creation
of B2B software companies has accelerated with the ability to sell globally through the Internet
and early-stage venture capital. Over time, we expect companies in the list to be displaced by
companies started since 2006.
3. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
The nature of the largest B2B software companies has changed from 1980s to now.
66 The market has gone from people-driven organizations, many of which have $100k (₹60 lacs)
per employee enterprise valuations, to technology-driven organizations, many of which are
edging closer to $1M (or ₹6 crore) per employee enterprise valuations – in line with what we
see in Silicon Valley.
66 The more recent valuable companies in B2B software are tending toward horizontal solutions
rather than vertical industry focused solutions in areas such as banking and retail.
66 Startups in B2B software products are moving from India-centric to globally-focused
organizations. Much of this is companies that started with initial sets of clients in India, then
went global.
66 For those companies started pre-2006 (50% of the list), they were generally bootstrapped
and about 40% of these companies have got growth capital into them now but the majority
remain completely bootstrapped. These companies are mainly domiciled in India.
66 For those companies started post-2006 (50% of the list), they are generally venture-backed
and about 73% have got early-stage venture capital into them now – the majority by far are
not bootstrapped. 50% are domiciled in the US or Singapore.
There is a healthy mix of verticalized solutions versus horizontal solutions with about 37% of the
companies being horizontal and the rest selling into verticals such as financial services, retail, media
and travel.

4. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
37% are bootstrapped although most of the bootstrapped companies were started in the 1990s
and 2000s and most of the institutionally-funded companies got growth financing, rather than
early-stage venture capital financing.
Just over 50% provide end-user business applications in segments such as CRM, trading,
collaboration, business intelligence and banking. About 20% are advertising technology companies
and rest are providing enabling technology in infrastructure and tools, including segments such as
security, identity management, developer tools and analytics.
4
5. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
Nearly 80% of the companies have global customer bases – the ones that have remained India-focused
are exploiting large India-specific opportunities such as the large SME base, burgeoning
ecommerce infrastructure needs, rapid growth of organized chains in retail, healthcare etc.
About 70% of the companies are domiciled in India. However, this masks a significant shift since
2009 where a majority of Indian B2B software companies have started incorporating in the US and
Singapore.
5
6. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
A related stat is around the headquarter locations. 27% of the top 30 companies are headquartered
in Bangalore and 20% in the National Capital Region (NCR) which includes New Delhi, Gurgaon and
NOIDA, with the remainder in other cities of India as well as Singapore and Silicon Valley.
What is not in this index is a whole slew of 200+ companies. Many of these started in the 1990s
and 2000s and have failed to scale meaningfully, whether because of lack of channels, lack of large
customers in India or regionally-focused offerings with market size limitations.
What does the future hold? This index represents but a snapshot of where the market is now. Many
of the companies started since 2009 are growing fast off of a small base but are not yet big enough
to be included in this index. We expect more such companies to grow big and start to appear in the
index in the next 12-24 months.
Over time, we expect the index to start representing more horizontal and globally-focused B2B
software companies, many of which we expect to be cloud/SaaS oriented with an equal split
between applications and infrastructure & tools. We also expect the creation of more India-centric
applications software businesses that leverage the proliferation of smartphones in enterprises and
SMBs as well as other India-centric problems.
Putting all this together, we expect the value of the top 30 Indian B2B software product companies
to expand well beyond $6.2 billion (₹37,500 crores) into the tens of billions as they participate in the
$500 billion (₹30,00,000 crores) global market for enterprise technologies. We expect companies
6
7. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
that have reached scale through bootstrapping to continue to remain bootstrapped. We expect
value to be crystallized through IPOs on the Indian stock exchanges for profitable, market-leading
companies as well as US and European stock exchanges for higher-growth companies
that have reached revenue scale but may or may not be profitable. We also expect acquisitions
by US, European and Indian companies to increase as Indian companies increasingly reach scale
especially in horizontal applications, infrastructure and tools – well beyond the historical pace of
exits that we have had with companies such as iFlex, Little Eye Labs and the like.
We will publish an updated iSPIxB2B index every six months. In the meantime, please participate
in the discussion around these findings at the ProductNation blog.

Index Calculation
Other feature of the index:
Company Selection
More than 350 Indian B2B software product companies were identified. The list was compiled from
various internal and external sources. We contacted over 100 companies and gathered data on
a substantial majority of these companies either directly from the companies, their investors or
public markets exchanges. The goal was to identify the top 30 companies in terms of valuation and
use the valuation number to compute the index as described in the previous section.
We included companies that met the following criteria:
simultaneously
A few very prominent companies are absent from the list as they declined to participate in the
SPIxB2B project.
16. India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B)
The following key data was collected from the companies, institutional investors or public sources:
66 Company Name, Profile, Contact Details
66 Headquarters location, Website URL, Founding Year, Legal Domicile, Employee Count
66 Financial Data
Valuation in USD and INR for Institutionally funded companies
Revenues in USD and INR for non-funded companies
Public market valuation in INR for public companies.
We came across three types of companies and arrived at their market valuation correspondingly:
66 Public companies - we used the latest market valuation data from Moneycontrol.com.
66 Recently venture-backed companies - we used the post-money valuation of their latest
financing if the financing was in the past year.
66 Bootstrapped companies or venture-backed companies financing over a year ago - we
derived a valuation using revenue multiples. Revenue multiples by sector were obtained from
reputable investment banks and were adjusted based on differing growth rates. In a couple
of cases, we did not obtain financial data from a company which we thought important to
include – in this case, we used publicly available data that may be dated.
We understand that company valuation in general, and this methodology specifically, will not result
in exact results. However, we believe that the results are directionally correct and generally in the
right ball park. We believe these results are of enough quality to support an educated discussion
as well as drive decisions from strategic partners and governments regarding the Indian software
product industry.
