It's the classic David versus Goliath battle being played out in the 21st century. And it's no surprise that this battle is being fought on the Web. We are talking of the great race between Web behemoth Google and Zoho, the Chennai-based underdog, to launch a suite of online office applications.
However, Sridhar Vembu, CEO of AdventNet, the company behind Zoho services, doesn't see it as an all-out battle. ``That would imply that there can be only one winner, which I don't agree with. Business is not like sports in that respect. It is perfectly possible to have a profitable, growing business without `winning' the market in the sense of being number one,'' he told Business Line in an exclusive interview.
Having said that, he adds that Zoho is working hard to offer "a really good suite of apps. I am confident we can keep this pace up, thanks to our outstanding engineering team in Chennai."
Blogs and Web sites covering Web 2.0 developments have been tracking the fight for a year now.
