These regions are emerging as hotspots for enterprise technology adoption, driven by a surge in local entrepreneurship and a growing migration of talent away from metropolitan hubs.

"Investors are now showing greater confidence in India-centric SaaS models as they see strong growth in tier II and III cities," said Brijesh Damodaran Nair, founding partner at Auxano Capital.
