Introduction

Scaling a social enterprise that operates across geographies, industries, and stakeholder groups requires more than just vision — it requires a strong, integrated digital infrastructure.

Abhyaz, a social enterprise from MTAB Technology Center, focuses on building structured experiential learning and workforce development programs for global learners. As operations expanded across countries and stakeholder ecosystems, managing workflows through disconnected tools became increasingly challenging.

In January 2020, Abhyaz adopted Zoho One to create a unified digital ecosystem — a decision that transformed how the organization manages internships, recruitment, stakeholder engagement, and multi-brand operations.

The Challenge: Managing Growth with Fragmented Tools

Before adopting Zoho One, Abhyaz relied on multiple platforms, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft 365, to manage different business functions.

While each tool addressed specific operational needs, the lack of integration created several challenges:

  • Data silos across departments

  • Manual coordination between teams

  • Limited workflow automation

  • Difficulty managing global internship operations

  • Increased operational overhead

As Abhyaz expanded its programs and global outreach, it became clear that a unified ecosystem was essential to support sustainable scaling.

The Solution: Implementing Zoho One as a Unified Ecosystem

Zoho One provided Abhyaz with an integrated suite of 50+ business applications covering marketing, recruitment, finance, customer support, and collaboration.

By implementing Zoho One, Abhyaz created seamless data flow across departments and automated key operational workflows.

The implementation journey included:

Marketing and Engagement Automation

Using Zoho Campaigns, Zoho Social, and Zoho PageSense, Abhyaz built structured communication and engagement strategies to reach global internship applicants and partner organizations.

Recruitment and Internship Management

With Zoho Recruit and customized workflows, Abhyaz streamlined application tracking, candidate evaluation, and onboarding processes for large-scale internship programs.

Multi-Brand Customer Support

Through Zoho Desk, Abhyaz established centralized multi-brand support systems to efficiently manage stakeholder communication and service delivery.

Finance and Operational Management

Zoho Books, Zoho Payroll, Zoho Billing, and Zoho Expense enabled structured financial tracking, compliance management, and automated operational processes.

The Impact: Scaling Global Talent Development

The implementation of Zoho One enabled Abhyaz to create a fully digital and scalable workforce development ecosystem.

Key outcomes include:

  • Managing over 200,000 internship applicants

  • Supporting internship and training programs across 15+ countries

  • Enabling seamless stakeholder collaboration
