Hybrid India-US Team Makes Low ACV Unit Economics Work
Almabase operates a 25-person team split between India and the US, with 5 to 6 engineers and 2 product managers. Varma noted that building the entire team in San Francisco would make the $6,000 to $7,000 average ACV unworkable, and the lower-cost India hiring is a structural advantage.
“If i were to build this team entirely in let's say the san francisco bay area it's never going to work out uh with that that kind of price point but yeah we do have an advantage in being able to uh you know hire people from lower cost locations”
