Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Urges India to Build Domestic Talent for Global Respect
Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu emphasized that India must develop its own talent and domestic capabilities to earn global respect. Responding to US mathematician Eric Weinstein's observation of rising hostility towards Indians abroad, Vembu advocated for building the nation rather than harboring resentment. He stressed that respect is independent of political leadership and that both external criticism and internal pessimism should be met with constructive development. Vembu called building companies and institutions driven by belief in India's potential the urgent national priority.
