Dunzo Transitions from Google to Zoho Workspace to Slash Costs

Published November 21, 2023

In a strategic move to optimize operational costs, Dunzo, the fast-paced commerce startup, has recently shifted its entire workforce from the well-known Google Workspace to the more cost-effective Zoho Workspace platform. This transition is primarily aimed at reducing the company's expenses by a significant margin – estimated to be around one-third of their current costs. Alphabet Inc.'s GOOG Google Workspace is known for its comprehensive suite of applications, and it commands a premium price, with its enterprise plan costing roughly Rs 1,600 per user each month. In contrast, Zoho's offering comes in at a much more affordable rate of Rs 489, directly translating to substantial savings for the company.

Alphabet Inc. and the Competitive Cloud Market

As a major player in the tech industry, Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, has established itself as a formidable presence in the cloud services sector. Despite this, emerging competitors like Zoho are gaining traction by providing budget-friendly alternatives that appeal to cost-conscious businesses. With a restructuring that saw the birth of Alphabet Inc. on October 2, 2015, the tech giant has continued to expand its reach. However, as companies like Dunzo demonstrate a willingness to migrate for financial efficiency, the competitive landscape could prompt Alphabet to reconsider its pricing strategies to maintain its grip on the market.
