The Zoho Mafia - getPIN.xyz

Zoho was never built for headlines. It was built to last.

Founded in 1996 in Chennai, a rising tech powerhouse in southern India, Zoho grew into a global SaaS leader without taking a single dollar of venture capital. Its mission: build affordable, deeply integrated software for businesses everywhere. Today, it powers over 100 million users across 150+ countries.

But Zoho’s real legacy is cultural. With a focus on patience, product, and people, it’s quietly trained a generation of builders. Now, former employees are launching their own companies — and shaping the next chapter of India’s startup story.

‍

Sridhar Vembu, built Zoho without a single dollar of venture capital.

‍

The Zoho Mafia has founded 25 companies and raised $1.2B.
