The company is planning to hire software developers, quality assessment engineers, web developers, designers, product marketers, writers, technical support engineers, and sales executives.
Prashant Ganti, head of products, tax, accounting & payroll, Zoho says, “We have already started hiring locally and plan to start upskilling programs such as Zoho Schools of Learning in these locations as we scale our operations.”
“The company plans to grow organically and expand to other geographies. We have been following the transnational localism approach, where our global expansion is happening by hiring locally in the countries where we are setting up operations,” Prashant said.
Prashant further added, “Most of the talent in urban areas comes from villages and smaller towns. Companies need to take opportunities to where the talent is, and invest in upskilling. We are also investing in enhancing our audio/video capabilities, which have become crucial for all business functions.”
“In India, we are also investing in rural revival initiatives, and in creating a deep-tech ecosystem in the country. It throws up a huge market opportunity for Zoho. We want to help many businesses that are looking for a good alternative and help them transition smoothly.” He said.
