Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, today announced that it is serving 100 million users across its 55+ business applications. Zoho is the first bootstrapped SaaS company to reach this milestone. This growth comes on the heels of the company reaching 1 billion USD in annual revenue last year.

Zoho offers a comprehensive suite of software solutions that help businesses of all sizes and industries run more efficiently and effectively. From CRM to Finance, HR to IT, Marketing to Support, Zoho has an application for every business need. Zoho also provides a unified platform that allows users to seamlessly integrate and collaborate across different applications, as well as access them from any device and location.

Zoho has grown steadily and responsibly, without ever taking external funding. This allows the company to preserve its long-term vision and culture without outside pressure or influence. It’s also what keeps the company centered on its values, such as debt-free growth and serving customers closer to where they are—a product of the company’s transnational localism efforts.

Transnational localism is Zoho’s philosophy of being deeply rooted in the local communities where it operates, while also being globally connected and aware. Zoho believes that this approach enables the company to better understand and serve its customers, as well as contribute to the social and economic development of the regions where it operates.

Zoho has offices in 12 countries, including India, the US, China, Japan, Mexico, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Singapore, UAE, Philippines and Kenya. The company also has data centers in seven locations across the globe. Zoho employs more than 10,000 people worldwide, with a majority of them based in rural areas of India.

Zoho is profoundly grateful for the enduring support of its more than 700,000 customers across 150+ countries. The company attributes its success to its loyal customer base, which includes small businesses, mid-market companies and large enterprises from various industries and sectors.

“I want to thank all of our customers for trusting us with their business and helping us reach 100 million users worldwide,” said Sridhar Vembu, Co-founder and CEO of Zoho Corp. “This is an impressive milestone for any organisation, but it’s particularly sweet for us as a bootstrapped company that has never raised external capital. And we are not done yet. We have an impressive innovation pipeline covering the next 10 years, investing in deep technologies to serve billions of users around the world. We’re working towards it, and we want to thank all of you for your continued support.”

To celebrate this milestone and to connect with its customers, Zoho is hosting a series of user events across the world called Zoholics. After completing 13 Zoholics in the first half of the year, which included Zoholics Kenya, the company will host 18 Zoholics across 16 countries in the next 8 weeks, totaling 31 user events across 27 countries in 2023. In Africa, Zoho will host Zoholics Egypt in October and Zoholics Nigeria is set to take place in November. Zoholics South Africa was held in August in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town. Zoholics is transnational localism in action. Zoho has always believed that being close to customers allows the company to build useful, trusted, customer-focused solutions.
