Overview
Zoho is a privately held software company, headquartered in Chennai, India, that builds a suite of cloud applications for running businesses. Its portfolio of more than 60 products covers sales and marketing, customer support, collaboration, finance and recruitment, and is designed for organisations ranging from startups to enterprises. This places Zoho in the business software-as-a-service category, where companies often weigh a single integrated vendor against assembling separate tools from several providers.
Individual applications include Zoho CRM for sales, marketing and support, Bigin as a pipeline-centric CRM for small businesses, Mail for ad-free business email, Books for accounting, Desk for customer service and Creator for building custom apps. Zoho One bundles more than 50 of its applications into a unified platform that the company describes as an operating system for business, while Catalyst and Zia Agent Studio address app development and AI agents that can qualify leads, resolve tickets and draft emails. The bundle approach suits buyers who want shared data across departments without managing many separate vendor contracts.
Zoho reports more than 150 million users across over 150 countries and more than 19,000 employees worldwide, with offices around the globe. The company states it has operated profitably for more than 30 years and earns revenue only from software licence fees, with no advertising-based model in any part of its business, including free products. It also emphasises research and development and prefers to own its full technology stack, including running its own data centres globally, a choice that gives it direct control over how customer data is hosted.
