Former Zoho engineer says stress and self-doubt cost him three years

Bengaluru techie Kewal Agrawal has described the difficult period he spent at Zoho, where intense workplace pressure eroded his self-confidence and enthusiasm for his job. After three years of strain, he moved to a smaller startup, which he says renewed his passion for work. Agrawal argues that when employees become disconnected from their workplace, this does not necessarily mean either side is at fault. His experience reflects challenges that many people in the tech industry say they also face.
