๐ Day 9: The Amazing Story of Zoho โ How a Missed Flight Changed Everything! ๐ Most people think of tech companies like Google, but Zoho's story is truly one-of-a-kind. It's almost unbelievable! โ๏ธ It All Started with a Missed Flightโฆ Imagine this: back in the early 2000s, Sridhar Vembu, the person who started Zoho, was on a business trip in Silicon Valley. He missed his flight. Instead of getting upset, he just sat down at the airport and started writing computer code. That "airport code session" eventually turned into something big: Zoho Writer. This was one of the first online word processors from India! ๐ฑ But Hereโs What Makes Zoho So Special and Different: โข No outside money โ ever! Zoho has been running for over 25 years without any funding from venture capitalists. That's truly amazing! โข Built from a village. In 2020, Sridhar moved Zohoโs main development team to a far-off village in Tamil Nadu, India. He believes that talented people for the future are in rural India. โข They train people who didn't finish school. Through something called Zoho University, they hire students who didn't study engineering. They train them from scratch and help them become top-notch computer developers. โข Global reach, but a local heart. Zoho is used by more than 70 million people worldwide, including in big markets like the U.S.. Yet, it still cares deeply about its Indian roots, supporting the local economy, and helping people become self-reliant. ๐ก A Great Lesson for Everyone: The story of Zoho teaches us a powerful message: You donโt need to be in a big tech city like Silicon Valley. You donโt need to get money from investors. You just need a clear idea, patience, and the bravery to do things differently. ๐ง Want to build something that lasts? Sometimes, the best new companies aren't just following the latest popular ideas โ they're building on strong values.
