You pretty much have to go offline."

| | Over to you... | Our CEO recently said: "to have a product mindset, you have to embrace uncertainty. You can never plan a perfect product. This is the one know-how we have deeply developed in Zoho." With that in mind, we're always trying to find new ways to delight our users, even if it takes some time to execute properly. Have something that you think we should be working on? We'd love to hear about it. | Until next time, Nick and Ritika | | | | | |
