The slack, messaging platform for workspace, has officially launched in India, in a move to help Indian companies navigate the transition to a hybrid workplace through digital headquarters. This will allow Indian companies to connect their teams, tools, customers, and partners in a digital place that is said to be fast, flexible and inclusive for a work-from-anywhere world. Slack will allow teams to have better communications, and collaborations internally and externally, and automate tasks.
Slack is currently available in over 150 countries and is said to have a significant following in India – representing one of the largest free user bases for Slack and is positioned in its top 10 markets for paid teams globally.
Slack messaging platform launched in India
Slack workspace messaging platform has been launched in India. In a Slack study, Indian knowledge workers said that they were wasting an average of 47 minutes a day switching between the various apps they use to do their jobs. One in five respondents said they were losing 10 hours a week – that’s nearly 10 working weeks a year. With over 2,600 app integrations, Slack says that the platform’s purpose is to address this loss in productivity and improve the employee experience.
Slack has been operating in India for four years, establishing a product engineering team in Pune in 2018 following the acquisition of Astro. It has over 120 employees across four offices in Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Gurgaon. Companies like Zomato, Dreamsports, Freecharge, Razorpay and many more rely on Slack to drive their businesses forward.
June 2021 is when Slack was acquired by Salesforce, which is the world’s top customer relationship management platform. Salesforce has had a presence in India since 2005 and today has over 6,500 employees across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
