Introducing Zoho One Minute: A series of short videos to help users make the most out of Zoho One

Worldwide, people have been pushed to live within the confines of their home, searching for help online more than ever. For example:

• In India, Zoho’s home ground where 1.3 billion people have been on lockdown, Google India reported a 20% surge in searches for 5-minute cooking recipes on Youtube. 

• Worldwide, there has been a significant rise in the number of 'how to' queries on Google. Some of them include, "how to make sanitizers at home," "how to workout at home," and "how to stay connected,"  among other queries.

• There has also been a massive growth in queries like "learn online" (over 85%) and "at-home learning" (78%) worldwide.

In the era of distancing, we are all learning something new.
