"In the near future, I do not care where Zoom is. All I care about is people in India will be very proud of what we are trying to do. And the fact that you can put your brand and use this particular tool and put it up on your server, put on your brand name, put on your color scheme, and have it tweaked around as you require is going to be revolutionary. Because it's never been done before. Not that we know off so far" - @dronapanchal
