SearchStax India Team

Our Story

SearchStax was started to meet a genuine need - enable individuals and companies to focus on what's core to their business - delivering value to their customers by building better customer experiences and not spend time on infrastructure, operations and tooling.

Cloud and SaaS now represent the fundamental building blocks behind every company's success. Companies increasingly move their existing applications and services to an “as-a-service” model and focus their resources on hyper-targeted areas where they know they can derive maximum value.

We’re only starting to explore search beyond the obvious applications. With advances in cloud-based technologies and analytics and the flood of data it creates, it allows the company to move beyond its infrastructure roots and to develop sophisticated tools designed to empower its customers to build ever more accurate and personalized search experiences.

Our customers are central to our continued success. Companies of all sizes across the globe are partnering with us to deliver better search experiences. Our customers help us understand what matters and provide insights that will help us drive even more value for them in the future.

Our Culture is Key to Our Success

We have six guiding principles we follow to develop our brand, our products and our people. Maintaining this culture is what differentiates us from our competition.
