About Zoho Corporation
Zoho Corporation is a software company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, that builds cloud business applications. It began in 1996 as AdventNet Inc. in New Jersey and later moved its headquarters to Chennai, where it opened its Estancia campus in 2015. The company says it offers more than 50 integrated applications for web and mobile.
For Indian businesses, Zoho's relevant product lines include finance software (Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Billing, Zoho Inventory and the GST-oriented tools around them), CRM and marketing (Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns), HR and payroll (Zoho People, Zoho Payroll), collaboration (Zoho Workplace, Zoho Mail) and payments (Zoho Payments). Zoho One bundles most of the suite into a single subscription, which the company introduced in 2017. Its IT management division, ManageEngine, sells separately to enterprise IT teams. For smaller Indian firms, the finance apps are often the first Zoho product adopted, with CRM or HR added later.
Zoho sells mainly online through self-serve subscriptions, supported by a partner network and direct sales for larger accounts. Most of its applications have a free tier or trial, and pricing on the Indian versions of its sites is shown in rupees. The company describes itself as privately held and bootstrapped, and says it has never taken outside investment. It also says it prefers to build products in-house rather than grow through acquisitions, and that it does not run ads or sell customer data.
In January 2025 co-founder Sridhar Vembu stepped down as CEO to become Chief Scientist, and co-founder Shailesh Kumar Davey became Group CEO. Zoho says it passed 100 million users in 2023. In 2021 Vembu received the Padma Shri, one of India's national civilian awards.
