Reflections on My Trip to India

This month, I had the opportunity to visit several cities in India to interact with customers, partners and Zscaler team members. And while I have considered the U.S. my home for over 30 years, India certainly holds a special place in my heart and I am always inspired by the optimism and ingenuity of the people there.

India is a rapidly growing market due to its appetite for embracing digital technologies that bring new services to enterprises and consumers. As a result, I had a number of very interesting conversations with customers, partners and prospects on the topic of Zero Trust that were eye-opening and energizing. I thoroughly enjoyed these exchanges of ideas, especially since it was very apparent that technology leaders in India view security holistically and not as an afterthought. This conscious approach will enable these organizations to navigate digital transformation without gaps in their security strategy.

I also had the chance to meet with team members in India, which is always a very positive and meaningful experience because I love to hear from employees and better understand what they need to be their best at work. I truly value these interactions since they give me insight into how employees are feeling, what their expectations are and ways we can continually improve the employee experience.

While in India, I also participated in an interview with CNBC-TV18’s Shruti Mishra in which we discussed how a Zero Trust architecture is the most effective at protecting organizations, especially those that are adopting new technologies, as well as Zscaler’s expansion plans in the region.

Thank you to the customers and partners who were so generous with their time during my visit and a huge thank you to the Zscaler India Team for being so warm and welcoming. I hope to see you all again very soon!
