Salesforce Launches AI-Powered SMB Growth Kit in India, Targeting Small Businesses Still Running on Spreadsheets

This product combines Agentforce Sales, Tableau and Slack into a single system that can be implemented in approximately four to six weeks, as software companies compete for India’s fast-growing SMB market

Salesforce has launched its SMB Growth Kit in India, a bundled AI-powered platform aimed at small and medium businesses that are still relying on disconnected software tools, spreadsheets, and fragmented applications to manage sales, operations, and customer relationships. The announcement was made on Monday as the US technology major looks to accelerate AI adoption among India’s SMB segment, which has emerged as one of the most contested growth markets for enterprise software vendors.

What the Bundle Includes

The SMB Growth Kit is the result of combining three products from Salesforce into a single offering. Agentforce Sales is responsible for CRM and sales automation, allowing users to assign leads, manage their pipelines, create forecasts, and receive recommendations on possible deals generated by Artificial Intelligence. Slack serves as a collaboration tool connecting sales, customer support, HR, IT and operational teams within a common interface. Tableau comes into play with real-time dashboards to monitor the pipeline condition, sales results, and the revenue flow.

The combined platform is designed to give SMBs a single data foundation rather than the typical patchwork of tools that currently prevents them from acting on customer information consistently.

The Deployment Model

Salesforce said the kit can be deployed within four to six weeks through its reseller partner network in India, and will initially be available exclusively through select reseller partners. The offering includes structured onboarding, implementation support, and post-deployment services.

The Problem It Is Solving

Mankiran Chowhan, Managing Director of Salesforce India, pointed out the main problem: while many Indian SMBs are ready to finance AI usage, they lack the possibilities for its implementation due to the fact that their customer data, team chats, and business data are stored in different systems and do not communicate with each other. The SMB Growth Kit is Salesforce’s response to the issue of disintegration, as only connected systems make AI usage possible for small businesses.
