‘Some people seem to know more about AI than…’: Mohandas Pai criticises Vembu’s ‘IT services should deploy AI’ remark

Amid the ongoing India AI summit, tensions flared in the tech community as former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai took to X to criticise Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu, in what appeared to be a sharp response to the latter’s latest remarks on the country’s AI direction.

Vembu had told Moneycontrol that India’s AI ecosystem was showing promising signs of momentum, with affordable innovation emerging from domestic players.

Vembu had praised Sarvam AI, an Indian Full-Stack Sovereign AI Platform, telling the outlet that “Today AI can write code really well”.
