Deepavali has come early to Zoho POS! The first customer for any new product is special. When that customer is a sweet shop, it is even more special We launched Zoho POS for Restaurants at Zoholics India, and Asha Sweets of Kolkata is our first customer. They started using it right during the busiest time of the year. Our team visited the shop to see how they were using the product during the festive rush. It was exciting to see the product being used in a real business. I want to wish all our customers, business owners and everyone celebrating a very happy and joyful Deepavali As a Deepavali gift to small businesses, Zoho POS for Restaurants is completely free for outlets with annual billing below ₹12 lakhs. Mukh mishti korun!

"I Teach at a Business School, It's Time to Shut Them Down" says Prof Chris Marquis from the University of Cambridge Judge Business School. I agree entirely and have been saying this for 2 decades. India would do well to close down business schools and focus on startup incubators. We need large scale startup formation and a lot of experimentation.

Any job performed on the computer has this risk now: one smart person using AI can perform the work of 10 people. The risk is getting ever more real. This does not mean 90% of people working on a computer will have no work at all. Industries that previously could not afford to hire software engineers or digitial marketers could afford them now, for example. What it does mean is a rebalancing across the economy and that is painful when we go through it. The only thing we can do is to accept that it is coming and be prepared for it.
