Navdeep has done an amazing job at no only highlighting the important metrics relevant for a SaaS business, he also explained the context for those metrics really well. Overall a great course for anyone that is serious about gaining knowledge about how to monitor and run SaaS business.

This video class and teaching method is truly exceptional. I appreciate how you explain things in a way that is not only easy to understand, but you also ensure that each topic is thoroughly covered. Your efforts have made a real difference, and I am so grateful to have access to your videos. Thank you for all that you do!
By Rajashekar Bheema on 1/21/2024
The course gave me a good understanding , but it could be presented in a much better way by Navdeep considering his knowledge on the topics discussed. The videos were not properly edited and most of them ended abruptly. Some videos lost the linkage between them and these videos can be rearranged in order by adding some extra content
By Pravin Venkatraman on 9/14/2023
I enjoyed in the beginning and especially sections 3 and 4, but i think they lack proper editing. Some videos are not aligned/structured as per the content/topics. Overall Navdeep covered a lot of important topics. Thank you for putting this out.

Hi Sir, Such a insightful course !! I would recommend all of them who are into SaaS or any Sales domain must have a look in this course . Thankyou so much sir for taking time out and building as a wonderful course .
By Jacinta Ndinda Mulandi on 5/4/2023
I have a given rating of 4 simply because of how the instructor puts across this course. Being a beginner I can say I have found it easy to learn and actualise the content. However the instructor needs to improve on video editing to assure of smooth information flow and consistency.
By Claudia Cerna on 2/21/2023
Really great info for someone with little to no SaaS experience/knowledge. I took a half a star only because, like some of the other reviews have mentioned, there are quite a few editing errors. Overall, I do highly recommend this course.
By Ajay kumar sharma on 2/1/2023

An amazing course for beginners looking to learn about SaaS metrics and its marketing strategies. The lectures are taught by an equally passionate instructor. The assignments in the lecture help to self-evaluate the concepts learnt. ------------------------------------------------------ Scope for Improvement: More Assignments in the form of multiple choice questions will further help the learners to assess and strengthen the concepts learnt.
