How Buying Growth in SEA Boosts Indian Startup BetterPlace’s Global Ambitions

In April, India-based Software-as-a-Service and workforce management platform BetterPlace acquired TROOPERS, a Malaysian firm that specializes in part-time staffing and recruitment services, in a deal estimated to be worth between US$15 million and US$20 million, according to a source who spoke to Tech in Asia. This came a month after BetterPlace acquired Indonesia-based MyRobin for an undisclosed amount.

Given this sudden push into Southeast Asia, we speak to Pravin Agarwala, Co-Founder and Group CEO of BetterPlace to get into how these acquisitions plug into BetterPlace, a deeper dive into their growth and expansion plans, and what the pathway to profitability and an IPO could look like.
