[Arattai @Arattai]

A fun little song that's been stuck in our heads lately. 🎶

Come on, let's Arattai. 💛

#ComeOnLetsArattai #LetsArattai #Arattai

[Mark Lloyd 👋 @marklloydr]

Here’s something @jeromejmathew and I worked on. With just a short brief and a couple hours.

Love how everything just comes together when you’re simply utterly passionate about it.

Arattai song - you will love it! Also helps you pronouce "Arattai" ❤️

Our team produced it with the help of AI.

There are questions about where Zoho is developed and where the data is hosted and who hosts it. There is a lot of false information we want to correct.

1. All the products are developed in India. Our global headquarters is in Chennai and we pay taxes in India on our global income. As a global corporation headquartered in India, we have offices in over 80 countries and have a strong presence in the US which is a big market for us.

2. Indian customer data is hosted in India (Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, soon Odissa). We have over 18 data centers globally and they host the respective country or regional data. We are committed to hosting each country data in their own jurisdiction.

3. All our services run on hardware we own and software frameworks we developed, on top of open source like Linux OS and Postgres database.

4. We do not host our products on AWS or Azure. Arattai, specifically, is not hosted on AWS or Azure or GCloud. We use some of those services for regional switching nodes to speed up traffic but data is not stored in them. We are adding many such "points of presence" (POPs) as we speak.

5. Our Zoho Developer account in the App Store and Play Store lists our US office address because the account was registered in the very early days of those stores by one of our employees in the US just to test them out. We never changed that.

We are proudly "Made in India, Made for the World" and we mean it🙏

@TRAI are these partnerships allowed?

[Mark Lloyd 👋 @marklloydr]

There’s so much joy in finding something new in the “old”—noticing new details when dusting off a painting you’ve seen all your life, learning about a sub-plot in a movie you’ve watched a hundred times, finding a new melody in your favourite song. Just pure joy! ❤️

[Neha Makwana @nea_makwana]

Something I did on @VaniHQ while waiting for teammates to join the Catchup.😊✨

[Mark Lloyd 👋 @marklloydr]

It’s been an amazing journey! From hand-drawn sketches and paper mocks to announcing our public beta today!
It’s been an absolute privilege working on something this special with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met!

@ANayyar16 @meerasapra I expected it to be a lot more colder, though what I didn’t expect was the amount of smoke in the air.

[Mark Lloyd 👋 @marklloydr]

@meerasapra It surely was an amazing experience. The whole service mentality was evident from the time we stepped in. I had trouble tying my turban on and there was someone already assisting me with it. The place was very solemn, and even though we were “outsiders” we never felt like one.

@Aaroniscoding @ProductHunt That's like loading a gun and pulling out the firing pin.
