#ZoholicsUSA2026 was extra impressionable this year for me. I didn’t host a large roomful of media and analysts. I didn’t create a track to showcase our latest, greatest, and beyond. Yet, this Zoholics was gave me more optimism. We read so much about #AI race and how x customer built y and gained z in xx time. In reality, most businesses aren’t there, and they’re looking for partners not just apps and agents menu, to help them build what they need, in their pace and on their terms. That’s what @Zoho can do. I am grateful for what we do.

Is #vibecoding killing #SaaS? No. But using it without guardrails might kill your data governance.

A thread on what the hype is getting wrong 🧵

[Zoho Influence @InfluenceZoho]

4. The vendors who win aren't the ones resisting vibe coding. They're the ones building the guardrails that make it safe for enterprise use.

[Zoho Influence @InfluenceZoho]

3. Where vibe coding genuinely works: prototyping, iteration, legacy modernization.

Where it doesn't: when it replaces the development process entirely rather than accelerating it.

[Zoho Influence @InfluenceZoho]

2. What they're not counting: shadow IT risk, #privacy legislation gaps, security vulnerabilities from imperfect integrations, and the very real cognitive cost of non-developers overseeing #AI output they don't fully understand.

[Zoho Influence @InfluenceZoho]

1. 41% of all code globally is now AI-generated. Vibe coding is real and it's accelerating. The "SaaS is dead" crowd has data on their side, sort of.

Everyone is racing to own the chip.
Japan: 3-way merger (Mitsubishi Electric, Rohm, Toshiba) → world's #2 power chip group

@Tesla: $25B Terafab fab in Austin
Gulf states: buying compute access, building design capability

@Zoho: owns its servers, not renting from hyperscalers

Same instinct. Different layers.
The hardware floor sets the software ceiling.

Reuters reported this week that @AnthropicAI is exploring building its own AI chips.

The plans are early. No design, no dedicated team. May not happen at all.

That is not the story.

The story is why a company at $30 billion in annualized revenue is even having this conversation. Inference costs scale with every customer you add. If you do not control that cost layer, someone else does.

I was at #ZohoDay26 in February. Zoho has been building and running its own server infrastructure for years across 16 owned data centers globally.

They built their own large language model so customer data stays inside their stack. Their explicit position: they are not a compute vendor and they will not pass GPU costs to customers.

That looked like frugality when they did it. It looks like strategy now.

Most software companies cannot replicate what Zoho built. It took years of patient private capital and a founder willing to build data centers all over the world rather than rent from hyperscalers.

But the question every software buyer should ask their vendor right now: how are you pricing AI features two years from now, and what happens to that price when your GPU bill triples?

Work doesn’t move forward in big, dramatic moments.

It moves forward with steady, everyday tasks such as sending an invoice, following up on a lead, approving a request, or closing a task before the day ends.

In our new video series, #MoveForwardWithZoho, we focus on these small, but indispensable moments. And, how we help businesses like yours across the globe.✨
