Former Zoho Employee Reflects on Stressful Three Years and Career Recovery

Analysed 3 Nov 2026·4 sources analysed·Bangalore, India·Business
Former Zoho Employee Reflects on Stressful Three Years and Career RecoveryPreviousNext

Kewal Agarwal, a former Zoho employee, shared on LinkedIn that his three-year tenure at the company was marked by stress, anxiety, and a loss of confidence, which led him to dislike coding. Despite this difficult period, he does not blame Zoho or himself and continues to admire Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu. Agarwal regained his confidence within a year after joining the smaller startup MishiPay and later transitioned into product management roles, currently working at Flipkart.
