From the Beginning

Reflecting on her journey, Suruchi shares, "What drew me to this journey was the inspiring vision of building the 'Salesforce' of security—a mission that continues to fuel my passion every day. I love what I do, and because of that, it never feels like work." In the early days of Zscaler, building a function from scratch meant being hands-on with everything.

Her advancement has been fueled by a “learning by doing” mindset, enabling her to master the complexities of digital marketing and lead her team with agility and purpose.

From Vision to Impact: Career Milestones

When asked about the highlights of her career, Suruchi points to impactful initiatives that transformed Zscaler’s digital presence. "I’m proud to have led projects that truly amplified our brand’s voice," she says.

One of the most exhilarating experiences was leading the digital strategy for Zscaler’s IPO in 2018. She recalls the rewarding challenge of "managing 20X website traffic, crafting cohesive messaging across channels, and delivering results within a record 3-month timeline, all through seamless cross-functional teamwork."

Fueled by an Empowering Culture

Suruchi attributes her growth to Zscaler’s empowering culture. She highlights, “Our culture is rooted in innovation, collaboration, and open communication. We hire good people who lift each other up and foster a bias toward action—making Zscaler a truly special place to create.”

As Suruchi looks to the future, she’s excited to embrace AI tools to deepen digital engagement and redefine customer experiences.
