Beyond the buzz & how Zoho builds technology that lasts

As our Director of Technology Rajendran Dandapani often says, culture is what carries a company forward. And, at the heart of ours is a simple vision: to build software that makes your work (and life) easier.

In this post, Chief Evangelist Raju Vegesna reminds us why we’ve always chosen the long-term path, investing in the depth of our products rather than chasing visibility. And our CEO, Mani Vembu, perhaps puts it best: staying private lets us grow at our own pace, focus on people, and build things that last.

Times like these remind us why we do what we do, and especially how we do it. Your continued support is what keeps us going through it all.

There’s more in store for you this month, so keep scrolling—we can’t wait to share what’s next!

Zoho on the ground: Our time at Tech Week Asia 2025

When it comes to trade shows and external showcases, October is when the Singapore crew comes together to amplify the Zoho story. The Cloud & AI Infrastructure Expo, a part of Tech Week Asia has become an annual stage for us to join industry peers in conversations around cloud migration, AI infrastructure, generative AI, and enterprise platforms.

While the broader event spotlighted emerging innovations across infrastructure, AI, and commerce, Zoho’s presence focused on demonstrating the power of a unified cloud platform. Our booth was designed around four key pillars such as Customer Experience, HR, Workplace & Productivity, and Finance, each representing a core suite within the Zoho ecosystem. Catch the behind the scenes of our booth set up and the conversations that happened on the ground.
