Sridhar Vembu says Arattai exists today only because Zoho isn’t listed on stock markets.
Without pressure from stock markets, they built the app as a long-term idea. Why? Because Wall Street’s quarterly-profit pressure would’ve killed the “crazy idea” before it even started.
-
Arattai daily sign-ups jumped from 3K to 3.5 lakh in days
-
Vembu says Zoho works like a self-funded R&D lab, not a profit-chasing corp
-
Projects include chip design, robotics, AI—long-term plays, not quick money
-
App is still fixing bugs (like OTP delays), but promises a strong privacy-first design
👉 Why this matters: Proof that innovation sometimes needs freedom from market pressure, and that India can dream big when patience beats profit.
