In my noob understanding, Salesforce overpaid on the acquisition for a couple of reasons:

1) They are desperate to continue growing and need acquisitions to do so

2) They believe Slack is their best bet to boost their revenue in the coming years

In saying that, the asymmetry is the markets each of them serve though. Are majority of Pakistani's serving B2B customers with a SaaS? No, and so the profit/revenue generation is different.
