Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu stated on May 18, 2026 that Zoho will not expand work-from-home options for employees. The decision followed internal weighing of comments on Vembu's X post and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to cut fuel use through remote work. Vembu cited higher productivity from face-to-face problem solving in R&D as the key reason. Zoho's stance prioritizes in-person collaboration for faster resolutions and better outcomes in research teams.
