Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu says he hasn’t failed next to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, defends ‘Marry in your 20s’ advice

Zoho Co-founder and Chief Scientist Sridhar Vembu has doubled down on his recent controversial advice, stating that young entrepreneurs should marry and have children in their 20s. This comes even as the remark continues to draw sharp reactions online and from other business leaders.

Vembu has framed early marriage and parenthood as a “demographic duty” to society and the ancestors, arguing that today’s youth are postponing family life for reasons that are as cultural as they are economic.
