Why “Growth Takes Time” is a Message Every Business Needs to Hear: Our Zoholics 2025 Story

Walking away from Zoholics Bangalore 2025, a key message that stuck with me wasn't a product demo or a flashy new feature. It was a simple, yet profound philosophy: "Growth takes time." In an industry that's always chasing the next big thing and celebrating overnight success, this felt refreshingly genuine. It’s a patient, purposeful approach to building technology that aims to be a strong, reliable foundation for businesses, not just a passing trend. The energy of the entire event was a testament to this philosophy, reminding us that true and sustainable growth is a journey, not a sprint—and one that is built on thoughtful innovation.

This grounded philosophy was evident in the key takeaways from the event, which were all about making an organization's operations more efficient.

• Zia AI: Practical Intelligence That Works for You.

  The conversation around AI wasn’t about science fiction; it was about practical tools that anyone can use. The new AI capabilities were presented as solutions that can automate routine tasks and provide actionable insights. This means less time spent on manual data entry, and a powerful AI assistant that can help with everything from writing a perfect email draft to identifying a qualified sales lead from a pool of thousands. It's about putting smart technology to work on the tedious tasks, freeing up a team to focus on strategy and customer engagement.

• Vertical CRMs: A Tool That Already Knows an Industry.

  A major announcement was the introduction of customized CRM solutions for specific industries. This was a welcome change. Instead of starting from scratch with a blank slate, a company can now get a CRM that comes pre-configured with the exact tools and workflows a specific industry uses. For example, a real estate agency can get a CRM with built-in modules for property management, while a healthcare provider gets a system designed for patient records. It’s a powerful way to get a complex system up and running faster, without the frustration of a one-size-fits-all approach.

• Zoho Creator: Building Custom Solutions, Without the Code.

  I was particularly impressed by the advancements in a powerful app-building tool that allows users to create their own custom applications. This means that if a business has a unique problem that no off-the-shelf app can solve, they don't need to hire a developer. Using simple prompts, anyone with an idea can bring it to life, putting the power to build and innovate directly into the hands of the people who know the business best. It offers incredible flexibility to streamline unique processes that are key to a business’s success.

For us at CBOSIT, this patient, thoughtful approach to technology is a philosophy we strongly believe in and a foundation of our work. It was a great reminder that our role is to help clients build a strategic, long-term solution, not just a quick fix. We don't just sell software; we take the time to understand unique challenges and partner with organizations to build a powerful and customized solution. This deliberate journey is what helps them achieve solid, reliable growth.
