Raju Vegesna, main evangelist of the Zoho company, commented that establishing this company in McAllen, Texas, was due to the talent that exists in the area and the culture; in addition to the quality of the education of the people derived from the schools and educational institutions that exist in this area.

“We also saw that many applied for a job in other regions where our company is located and we analyzed why move them to other places. Jobs belong to the local community, which is why we created jobs here in McAllen, instead of moving people out of town; This is how we decided to open an office in this town”, highlighted Raju Vegesna.

He added that one of the advantages they found in the area was the "incredible culture."

“Culture is one of the most important parts, as well as people; the talent, the hard-working, honest people, those aspects were attractive,” she said.

"People in this region have these characteristics, and this was very attractive to us," Vegesna said.
