Zoho Corporation has marked its 30th anniversary with the announcement of two major company milestones. Zoho Corporation, consisting of Zoho (cloud business solutions), ManageEngine (IT management), Qntrl (business process management) and TrainerCentral (e-learning platform), is now a trusted technology provider to one million paying customers and more than 150 million users globally.

The announcement follows a significant year-on-year customer (32%) and revenue (20%) growth in 2025.

Recent customers to Zoho Corporation include: in the United States, Rapid Response Monitoring and Synergy Home Care; in India, Mercedes-Benz India, Force Motors, Joyalukkas and Union Bank of India; in the UK/European Union, Flora Food Group, Handl Tyrol and Atout France; in Middle East-Africa, Al-Ahli Saudi FC and Al Qadsiah FC; in LATAM, Gonher Batteries, and in Brazil, Creditas and Editora Globo.

“Being bootstrapped, private, and built entirely in-house makes Zoho an outlier among competitors,” said Sridhar Vembu, co-founder and chief scientist, Zoho Corporation. 

“But vendors don’t need our help, businesses do, which is why delivering customer value has, for 30 years, been Zoho Corporation’s North Star. Before any innovation, strategy, or guiding principle becomes a product, pivot, or policy, it must first affirm the question, ‘Will this help businesses?’ We are incredibly grateful that companies around the world have responded so positively to our customer-first approach over the past three decades, and will continue to meet the evolving needs of businesses with powerful, scalable, and affordable solutions.”

Commitment to Africa

Zoho Corporation has steadily expanded its presence across Africa, supporting organisations of all sizes as digital transformation accelerates across the continent.

“Africa represents one of the most dynamic and entrepreneurial business environments in the world,” said Veerakumar Natarajan, country head, Zoho Kenya. 

“Over the years, we have seen growing demand from African businesses seeking technology that is flexible, affordable and built for long-term value rather than short-term gain. Our continued investment reflects our belief in Africa’s innovation potential and our commitment to supporting local businesses with tools that help them scale sustainably,” added Veerakumar.

Zoho’s long-term approach aligns closely with the needs of African organisations, providing a unified technology platform without the cost and complexity often associated with enterprise software.
