Privacy protection is becoming more and more important. Users are worried about their online activity being tracked and that their personal information is sold to third parties without their consent. Zoho is a leading provider of software solutions. To combat this problem, Zoho has launched Ulaa – a revolutionary browser that prioritizes privacy. In a recent conversation with Raju Vegesna (Chief Evangelist, Zoho), we discussed the importance of privacy, and how Ulaa could help users protect sensitive data.

Why you need privacy-friendly browsers

Vegesna, when asked why he created a new browser to address the privacy and user-friendliness issues in existing browsers, highlighted that most of them are not very friendly. He said, “If you take a look at most of the browsers on the market, they are not very user-friendly or privacy friendly.” As a user, you know that we are tracked. Maybe we have been watched. Our information and activity are being tracked without our consent and sold to companies we don’t know.

Vegesna emphasized Zoho’s commitment to privacy, stating that Ulaa was originally an internal project. Zoho expanded the browser’s use to a wider market after recognizing its value. Ulaa, with its business model that does not use ads and is focused on privacy and security, aims to be an alternative to the browsers created by companies who are driven to collect data and to spy on people.

Integrate with Zoho Tools to Boost Productivity

Ulaa, in addition to its privacy features and integration with Zoho, offers seamless integration. This enhances productivity for users.

Vegesna said, “They’re subtly integrated into several Zoho products and will be increasingly integrated with more.”

The Zoho account can be accessed directly through the browser. Users are able to access Zoho’s features and synchronize tabs. Ulaa also comes with tools like annotator, a note-taking app and annotator.

Ulaa also uses Zoho’s own translation service, allowing it to translate without having to rely on third-party monitoring companies. These integrations are designed with user privacy in mind.

Accessibility for all Users

Ulaa’s accessibility is one of its key benefits, whether you are a Zoho customer or not. Vegesna clarified that “you don’t need to be a Zoho client.” It is possible to be a simple end-user and not even create a Zoho Account to use the browser. Just go to ulaa.com to download the browser for your preferred operating system. You may need to create a Zoho Account if you wish to sync your browsing sessions. You can use Zoho if you don’t want to create an account. “We use a different browser and don’t have a Zoho account. Zoho doesn’t know anything about us.”

Zoho wants to offer a browsing experience that is privacy-conscious to everyone, without any barriers or requirements.

Zoho Start simplifies the process of starting a company

Zoho Launch is another innovative solution that Zoho introduced in addition to Ulaa. It aims to simplify and streamline the process of establishing a business.

Vegesna explained Zoho Start’s motivation, saying, “Zoho Start a service that we launch here in the US only for now, where we help independent freelancers create a business. Zoho start can help you if you are thinking of starting a business. We can guide you through a process in which we gather information and send it to the government agencies concerned to set up your company.

Zoho Start was designed to be an end-toend platform, covering the entire startup lifecycle from idea validation through company formation. It includes a variety of services and features, such as idea management, investor engagement and legal documentation. Zoho Start offers a complete set of tools and resources that allows entrepreneurs to concentrate on their core business, while minimizing administrative tasks.

Privacy is a must in the digital world

Ulaa is a major step forward for individuals and companies in an age where online privacy has become increasingly compromised. Ulaa’s emphasis on privacy, user control and security offers a safe and secure browsing experience that is free of intrusive surveillance or data tracking. The seamless integration of Ulaa with Zoho productivity tools enhances workflows for users.

Zoho Start is a further demonstration of Zoho’s commitment to supporting small businesses. It simplifies the company-starting process and supports aspiring entrepreneurs in their quest for success. Zoho Start and Ulaa together demonstrate Zoho’s commitment to empower individuals, protect privacy and foster innovation in the digital realm.

Zoho Ulaa, and Zoho Start are powerful examples that show how technology can be used to protect user privacy while providing valuable tools to individuals and businesses. Zoho’s innovations have taken significant steps towards a secure and privacy conscious digital future.
