‘We need people to do deep work in R&D…,’ says Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu amid personal controversy
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Sridhar Vembu, the founder and chief scientist of software giant Zoho, outlined his life’s mission to transform India into a technologically advanced and self-reliant nation. The post comes days after news of his ongoing disputes in the divorce case and his alleged ties to right-wing ideologies broke out.
Vembu, who has built Zoho into a bootstrapped competitor to global tech behemoths like Microsoft and Google, highlighted the need for India to overcome historical setbacks and foster rural development through innovation.
