Former Zoho Employee Reflects on Stressful Three-Year Experience and Career GrowthPreviousNext

Kewal Agrawal, a former Zoho employee now at Flipkart, shared on LinkedIn that his three years at Zoho were marked by stress, anxiety, and a loss of confidence, leading him to dislike coding. Despite this difficult period, he does not blame Zoho or himself, viewing it as a mismatch between his readiness and the workplace. Agrawal expressed continued admiration for Zoho's co-founder Sridhar Vembu and noted his confidence returned after moving to a smaller company.
