Most successful Indian startup

Arguably Zoho.com is the best online office suite out there. There have been reviews of it all over the place at leisurely intervals of this seemingly most successful and obscure of Indian startups. But this recent article in Forbes truly opens up the can of worms. All said and done Zoho can probably stake claim to being the most successful startup out of India, end-to-end, 100%. Kudos to that team in Chennai.

Mother of all quotes from the entrepreneur himself, Zoho CEO Mr. Sridhar Vembu
"You see, we don’t intend to sell the company, so there is no stock option plan, because it is meaningless."

Quote of the week

"... The founding team should have that killer startup bug everythig else is secondary. And it never takes 20,30 or 100 people to make a product .. Just 3/4 good ones. ..."

Couldnt agree with these guys more. 3-4 guys is the perfect teamsize. Good enough to gel easily, good enough to hit ideas on each other, good enough to keep updated easily, and most importantly best size to take out to dinner every week :)

Best of luck Druvaa.
