#32Until recently I liked ZOHO. For the charity that I worked for, we built our website around ZOHO. They made us buy 7 licenses at the regular price, and that was a pretty tough arrangement for us. We only had one actual user. The rest were because a bunch of volunteers using one particular product. Zoho would not accept that fact. So we are a bigger part of that $1B than we like.
Bet the alternatives of what you're asking are much more expensive.

#33Happily using Zoho for 2-3 years now. Moved away from Google because... well you can't trust them with anything.
Haha, and you can trust the Indian government? No offense, but India any cop can walk into Zoho's offices and ask for whatever they want. It doesn't have to go through any agency. Given the corruption of that country, you're absolutely dreaming if you think your data is safer.

Bullshit. India is not an autocratic country. Indian people’s rights are well protected by rule of law.

#35> Sridhar Vembu of Zoho said that no other company has built a billion dollar product company in India. India has no other billion dollar product companies? Doesn’t Tata sell cars?
He means a tech product company.
Most other billion dollar Indian tech companies are in the IT outsourcing business.

Yeah, but: a) a lot of places block Russia and China wholesale against spam b) they'e hosted in a genocidal regime without rule of law completely beholden to a dictator's whims. Pass.
Quoted post unavailable.
What do you trust? Reuters? The UN? Russia? I don't believe you're actually open to the idea. Prove me / us wrong by saying what it'll take to change your mind, or by saying you're not open to anything.
Asking for sources is fine, but show your own work as well.

I don't think India is a lawless jungle as you portray it.
Indian authorities have tried to ban cryptocurrencies but have repeatedly been blocked by the courts. Whatever you think about crypto this indicates a healthy division of power and check against government overreach.

#38One more clear example that you don't need to be in SF to build a venture-scale SaaS
Dude bootstrapped the company.
Last I read, Zoho was working on solving some Japanese village's issue. Forgot exactly what it was about. Interesting guy and company who are solving problems. Kudos to them.

Software products. IIT -> Princton PhD in Electrical engineering -> Qualcomm -> Services Company in that space -> CRM product. And then moves his dev center to the lowest income rural village he can find.. "In 2004, he set up Zoho Schools to provide vocational software development education to rural students as an alternative to formal university education. A statement from the company states that 15 to 20 percent of its engineers have no college degree, but have received vocational education from Zoho Schools".
Legend.
