In a first such move, Cloud software major Zoho is likely to mark its presence in eastern Uttar Pradesh this year, the company’s Co-founder and CEO Sridhar Vembu said on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chennai-based SAAS company last year surpassed 100 million users across over 55 business applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are going to Eastern UP this year, our first major rural expedition North. I wish we could have a meaningful presence everywhere and maybe over the next 20 years we will get there. That is my dream,\u201d Vembu said in a post on social media platform X.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noting that he loves the country and his heritage Vembu said that India \u201cis vast talent waiting for opportunity everywhere in Bharat\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI love our nation — while I am proud of my Tamil heritage, I am equally fond of every one of our states and our regions and the vast cultural, spiritual, and civilisational heritage they represent\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that Zoho \u201cwants to create world-class R&D capability wherever we go and there is a speed limit to how fast you can scale up R&D teams and it is not at all like scaling up manufacturing plants\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He informed that the company is doing well in Kerala\u2019s Kottarakara. The industrial park and R&D centre, majorly focussed on AI and robotics, was launched in February. The centre is expected to generate around 1,000 jobs in Kerala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Vembu, high-end technology companies in rural towns can be crucial to help \u201cstop the exodus of youngsters seeking overseas jobs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zoho began its rural office in Tamil Nadu\u2019s Tenkasi in 2011. It started with hardly 10 employees, and now reportedly has around 900 professionals working in a non-urban area.\u00a0 AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
