"....That 's why people join us for the fun element " GOLDEN WORDS OF SRIDHAR VEMBHU
Hats off to you Sir, You are and will be an inspiration to many young entrepreneurs ....
Very interesting interview that offers a perspective that is rather fresh to me. I am of course here because I had doubts about adopting Zoho products for our business and I am reassured by what Mr. Sridhar had to say.
I used Zoho CRM for 5 years and they keep improving.... compared to the $150 you pay for Salesforce Enterprise, it is much better value.
A scientist and great entrepreneur- Sridhar Vembu sir 🙌
He’s so humble despite skyrocketing success. Absolutely love the man!
Such a great, smart, wise and, at the same time, humble person! And the interviewer seems to not be able to swallow how someone may not want vc money and the whole typical funded company path... the interviewer seems somewhat inexperienced in the whole startup / vc / bootstrapping area, and I also do not appreciate how he kinda belittles and seems to treat the guy “from higher above” while he is nowhere near the level of achievement of the guy..
No, the interviewer is neither arrogant nor dumb. He's just playing the devil's advocate in order to make the interview more interesting and informative. Its an interview tactic where the playful friction between the interviewer and the interviewed makes it more engaging
Very true. He really kept the whole interview you around VC money
I love this guy! Wow!
Best part of TN ppl....u may have Double degrees, Graduates from elite university, Phd. Fancy English, French, German etc but u don't need all these.. U need to be honest, goal oriented, fire in the belly, humble, education can be even just a plain degree or even less & u are selected.

11.19 " We are committing to an exit or liquidity in 7 years " what is the meaning of this sentence ? Is it winding up the company after 7 years ?
Investor forced him to exit or liquidity in 7 years.
It means, the VC will exit in 7 years and will liquidate his holdings. Sridhar says if he’s in for a long haul, why does the VC should exit. Beautiful point!
VCs offer an investment at an attractive valuation in exchange of equity in the company. They mentor founders and work with them in framing the further outlook and trajectory to grow the company and exit the company by selling their stake to some other investor who is willing to buy the stake at that future valuation or by means of an IPO.
If the Promoter cannot find a Buyer for the stake held by the VC, and the deal requires it. Thee VC can force he Promoter to sell his stake also. It is called the 'Drag Along' clause
Like to work at Zoho isn't it?

Yes, everything about bootstrapping is fine. But where will the money come from, for a middle class guy💁🏼♂️💁🏼♂️

Mr Shreedhar Vemu, Zoho IT Corpn TN.
Godi media never showed this great person and his Company Zoho Corporation.. the real son of India..!! Mr Shreedhar Vemu is real patriot of India, the Bharat (not Modi's hindustan), who did not forget his Mother India (not Hindustan). He has given work to Nine Thousand hands..!! (9000 x 2 hand in reality)
Whereas Modi's 28 patriots from Gujrath left India safely with booty of ₹.10 lakh
crores within 5 years..!
He has sold 23 PSUs leaving 20 lakhs people jobless..! And safely forgot to create two lakh jobs every year.. raising a great rama temple.. to produce beggers..!
Made my day bro
He has been recently awarded padma shree and also he has been appointed to the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB)(for technology related inputs), led by national security advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval so don't say modi government is not recognising him. Appointment of Vembu ji in NSAB clearly tells what govt think of him.
People like you make these great men your political agenda tool nothing else.
Do you know sridhar vembu is a member of RSS
Abey communist paka mat idhar, ja chaat gandhi ka
Sridhar Vembu is an RSS member , and is Tamil Brahmin Iyer ( non-dravidian tamil )
Can't help but notice some jealousy in the interviewer.
@29:25 ZOHO gonna to be reproduction company then
interviewer has negative mindset
That makes interview even more interesting
If Zoho has 500 million in revenue why doesn't it spend about 103.34 rupees on publishing some clear, understandable documentation?
Nothing in the world will frustrate a human being more than attempting to create something mundane with a zoho app, and spend weeks trying to do something obvious, just to find out it's a platform limitation - which has not been published or explained anywhere - or that there is some super top secret double underwater chess procedure for performing something that is a push of a button elsewhere.
It's frigging confounding, in a way that only Indians making software for other Indians could manage to comprehend.
That said, I guess it's rather like an easter egg hunt- the hunt being half the fun.
Yeah, once you get by those things I am rather addicted to it.
Liked to see the humility of Humans at Zoho carried at ZOHOLICS Delhi2022
