MongoDB Empowers ISVs to Drive SaaS Innovation in India

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) play a pivotal role in the Indian economy. Indeed, the Indian software market is expected to experience an annual growth rate of 10.40%, resulting in a market volume of $15.89bn by 2029.¹

By developing specialized software solutions and digital products that can be bought ‘off the shelf’, ISVs empower Indian organizations to innovate, improve efficiency, and remain competitive.

Many established enterprises in India choose a ‘buy’ rather than ‘build’ strategy when it comes to creating modern software applications. This is particularly true when it comes to cutting-edge AI use cases.

MongoDB works closely with Indian ISVs across industries, providing them with a multi-cloud data platform and highly flexible, scalable technologies to build operational and efficient software solutions.

For example, Intellect AI, a business unit of Intellect Design Arena, has used MongoDB Atlas to drive a number of innovative use cases in the banking, financial services, and insurance industries.

Intellect AI chose MongoDB for its flexibility coupled with its ability to meet complex enterprise requirements such as scale, resilience, and security compliance. And Ambee, a climate tech startup, is using MongoDB Atlas’ flexible document model to support its AI and ML models.

Here are three more examples of ISV customers who are enabling, powering, and growing their SaaS solutions with MongoDB Atlas.

MongoDB enhancing Contentstack’s content delivery capabilities

Contentstack is a leading provider of composable digital experience solutions, and specializes in headless content management systems (CMS). Headless CMS is a
backend-only web content management system that acts primarily as a content repository.

“Our headless CMS allows our customers to bring all forms of content to the table, and we host the content for them,” said Suryanarayanan Ramamurthy, Head of Data Science at Contentstack, while speaking at MongoDB.local 2024.

A great challenge in the CMS industry is the ability to provide customers with content that remains factually correct, brand-aligned, and tailored to the customer’s identity. Contentstack created an innovative, AI-based product—Brand Kit—that does exactly that, built on MongoDB Atlas.

“Our product Brand Kit, which launched in June 2024, overcomes factual incorrectness. The AI capabilities the platform offers help our customers create customized and context-specific content that meets their brand guidelines and needs,” said Ramamurthy.

MongoDB Atlas Vector Search enables Contentstack to transform content and bring contextual relevance to retrievals. This helps reduce errors caused by large language model hallucinations, allowing the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) application to deliver better results to users.

AppViewX: unlocking scale for a growing cybersecurity SaaS pioneer

AppViewX delivers a platform for organizations to manage a range of cybersecurity capabilities, such as certificate lifecycle management and public key infrastructure. The company ensures end-to-end security compliance and data integrity for large enterprises across industries like banking, healthcare, and automotive.

Speaking at MongoDB.local Bengaluru in 2024, Karthik Kannan, Vice President of Product Management at AppViewX, explained how AppViewX transitioned from an on-premise product to a SaaS platform in 2021. MongoDB Atlas powered this transition.

MongoDB Atlas’s unique flexibility, scalability, and multi-cloud capabilities enabled AppViewX to easily manage fast-growing data sets, authentication, and encryption from its customers’ endpoints, device identities, workload identities, user identities, and more. Furthermore, MongoDB provides AppViewX with robust security guaranteeing critical data protection, and compliance.

“We’ve been really able to grow fast and at scale across different regions, gaining market share,” said Kannan.

“Our engineering team loves MongoDB,” added Kannan. “The support that we get from MongoDB allowed us to get into different regions, penetrate new markets to grow at scale, so this is a really important partnership that helped us get to where we are.”

Zluri Streamlines SaaS Management with MongoDB

Zluri provides a unified SaaS management platform that helps IT and security teams manage applications across the organization. The platform provides detailed insights into application usage, license optimization, security risks, and cost savings opportunities.

Zluri processes massive volumes of unstructured data—around 9 petabytes per month—from over 800 native integrations with platforms like single sign-on, human resources management systems, and Google Workspace. One of its challenges was to automate the discovery and data analysis across those platforms, as opposed to employing an exhaustive time and labour intensive manual approach.

MongoDB Atlas has allowed Zluri to ingest, normalize, process, and manage the high volume and complexity of data seamlessly across diverse sources.

“We wanted to connect with every single system that’s currently available, get all that data, process all that data so that the system works on autopilot mode, so that you’re not manually adding all that information,” said Chaithaniya Yambari, Zluri’s Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, when speaking at MongoDB.local Bengaluru in 2024.

As a fully managed database, MongoDB Atlas platform allows Zluri to eliminate maintenance overhead, so its team of engineers and developers can focus on innovation.

Zluri also utilizes MongoDB Atlas Search to perform real-time queries, filtering, and ranking of metadata. This eliminates the challenges of synchronizing separate search solutions with the database, ensuring IT managers get fast, accurate, and up-to-date results.

These are just a few examples of how MongoDB’s is working with ISVs to shape the future of India’s digital economy. As technology continues to evolve, the role of ISVs in fostering innovation and economic growth will become ever more integral. MongoDB is committed to providing ISVs with a robust, flexible, and scalable database that removes barriers to growth and the ability to innovate.
