Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, celebrated its 30th anniversary by unveiling two significant milestones in its journey. Zoho Corporation, consisting of Zoho (cloud business solutions), ManageEngine (IT management), Qntrl (business process management) and TrainerCentral (e-learning platform), is now a trusted technology provider to more than one million paying customers and more than 150 million users globally. In 2025, Zoho Corporation recorded a 32% year-on-year increase in customers and a 20% rise in revenue. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026.

"Being bootstrapped, private, and built entirely in-house makes Zoho an outlier among competitors," said Sridhar Vembu, Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Zoho Corporation. "But vendors don't need our help, businesses do, which is why delivering customer value has, for 30 years, been Zoho Corporation's North Star. Before any innovation, strategy, or guiding principle becomes a product, pivot, or policy, it must first affirm the question, 'Will this help businesses?' We are incredibly grateful that companies around the world have responded so positively to our customer-first approach over the past three decades, and will continue to meet the evolving needs of businesses with powerful, scalable, and affordable solutions."

Founded in 2005, Zoho has been driven by a strong foundation in deep tech R&D, offering AI-powered, cloud-based solutions that adapt to the changing demands of modern businesses. Zoho has been steadily moving upmarket, especially in India, over the past few years. Its domain-specific app platforms layered with no-code and low-code capabilities have helped many enterprises bring down implementation time, achieving faster time to market, and realising faster ROI. This platform strategy has enabled Zoho to attract some of India's most prominent enterprises, including Mercedes-Benz India, Force Motors, Joyalukkas, and Union Bank of India. The company also collaborates closely with industry partners like TCS, PwC, and Deloitte to deliver tailored, sector-specific solutions for large organisations.

ManageEngine stands as a pillar of the company's enterprise portfolio powering the IT operations and security infrastructure of organisations worldwide. Since its founding in 2002, ManageEngine has been instrumental in helping enterprises navigate successive waves of technological change, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud, hybrid environments and now AI-driven ecosystems. With AI becoming embedded into the very fabric of enterprise infrastructure, IT management is undergoing another pivotal shift. Through its unified platform approach, ManageEngine has been able to deliver a comprehensive, secure and AI-driven ecosystem covering networks, servers, security, service desks, Active Directory, applications, and endpoints. Organisations like Samsung Electronics, Omega Healthcare, Narayana Healthcare, and GMR Waisl rely on ManageEngine to modernise operations while maintaining visibility and resilience.

At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Sridhar Vembu outlined a strategic approach to navigating the AI wave across software and IT sectors in his keynote address. He said, "While the current phase of AI may automate certain aspects across business functions, long-term stability will depend on solving real customer problems and staying close to the customers. In moments of major technological disruption, as we saw during the dot-com era, agility and reinvention are essential to spring back. The right response is to begin with low-stakes experimentation, without prejudging outcomes, and to stay open-minded enough to pivot when required. Over time these experiments will shape opinions, and some of those opinions will evolve into convictions that will in turn drive decisive business action. These convictions cannot be forced, these are formed through experience, and once formed, organisations must be prepared to act. At Zoho, our long-standing principle has been to invest deeply in R&D and to experiment continuously as a way of building the future."

"I am optimistic about India because we have a youthful and optimistic population. We are not weighed down by excessive scepticism or cynicism, and that is a blessing because it allows us to experiment. When we look at innovations such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), we realise that India is already ahead in many areas of digital technology. The same can happen in the field of AI. If we continue to experiment optimistically, find new pathways, share results openly and learn from one another, we can build a very bright future and position India among the global leaders in AI adoption," he added.
