Zoho to Hire 2,000 People

Zoho Corp, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, plans to hire at least 2,000 people in engineering, technology, and product development as it expands in India and around the world. "We have already started hiring locally and plan to start upskilling programmes such as Zoho Schools of Learning in these locations as we scale our operations," said, Prashant Ganti, head of products, tax, accounting & payroll, Zoho.

More software developers, quality assurance engineers, web developers, designers, product marketers, writers, technical support engineers, and sales executives are being sought by Zoho. Ganti told that the company intends to grow organically and expand into new markets.

“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," he said. Zoho, which has a presence in India and the United States, has recently expanded into new markets such as Egypt, Jeddah, and Cape Town.

Gati added that the company is also looking for talent in rural India. It currently has around 10,800 employees worldwide. On July 12, ET reported that Zoho has rural hubs in Tamil Nadu and is looking for locations to set up an office in tier 3 and 4 towns in Uttar Pradesh.
