- He built a billion-dollar tech company without raising a rupee. He now works from a village in Tamil Nadu.
Sridhar Vembu built Zoho, a software product firm valued at over a billion dollars, without a rupee of external funding. Months before the pandemic, he moved from Silicon Valley to a village in Tamil Nadu, where he is now based. Years before Atmanirbhar Bharat became a slogan, Vembu championed the cause of self-reliance in the capital and creating local employment
KEY QUESTIONS:
1. Lessons in 'Atmanirbhar' entrepreneurship from Sridhar Vembu
2. How can start-up and scale-up without raising any money?
3. Will working from smaller towns become the future of India?

I am impressed by Sridhar sir. My native is Thanjore in TN but settled in Delhi for 40 years now.
I am visiting Chennai shortly and would plan to visit Zoho at Tenkasi and meet Sridhar sir.
I have an apartment near Zoho Guduvanchery called Estancia and from the time I saw Zoho office adjacent to my township Estancia, was curious and searched in Google and knew about sreedhar Vembu from 2015 and a huge fan of him and thank ET to have projected my idol to many through this and I am really looking forward to meet him soon. I used to try a lot to get his contact number long back. Thank u ET for projecting this great man whom I regard

The Glory Of Talent
Good questions. Great answers. The host is apparently appropriate to interview a person like Sridar Vembu. And Vembu, he is not just an intellectual but wise, too.
Good questions, but would have preferred the interviewer with a business background
Excellent talk. Unwilling go to cities for job. Very true . Good luck Sridhar
Keep rocking sir , keep infecting us with your energy
🙏🏻kya khena sir, enlightens listening in these times, Great 👍 Let Tenkasi bloom, it happens to b my greatgrand father's native n been only once 😊🙋🏻♀️
Just think about how life went on quite well with cow in every house, fruit trees, flowering plants, well water to drink without any fear, vegetable plants, creepers... Earning by going to work was just additional income. Most had farming lands and rice , tamarind, etc were also available. Family had more members, all lived together in the same roof. Hale and healthy. Even no pollution. NO soil pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, heat pollution, ...
We all were mislead by one factor called MONEY. We were mislead by people saying money can get more than what we have. They conned us all saying MONEY can get what we do not have.
They fooled us by taking away our cows to far off places and till today making us to pay for bringing it all the way to our home. In addition , they include in price, the lorry charges, cooler charges, fuel charges, insurance charges, driver charges, cleaner charges, procurement charges, storage charges,... And worst of it all, Milk is not milk. They remove the cheese, butter, fat, ....from the milk, then mix tuber in it,.... and sell to us at very cruel price something which they call as MILK.
When Cow is gone, the soil fertility was lost.
Meanwhile they also fooled us into using chemicals of all sorts. Soap and allied chemicals killed organisms in Air, Water, Soil, Plants, Fruits, Trees, ...
Soil lost its texture.
Water lost its true ingredients to chemicals and dead organisms and rotten dead organisms.
Maids were boasted as trend.
They fooled us into spoiling our healthy routines doing our own work. We all with our own family members used to cook together, live together, eat together, ... Never had to even think of leaving our place to go elsewhere for holidaying or for relieving stress. Because we were never stressed.
Well water were forced to be filled with garbage, dead cats, dead rats, ... possibly by so-called maids and servants who also slowly spoiled our garden plants, flowers.. BUT THEY TOO MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT THEY WERE DOING. They were only made to think that they are creating jobs of selling flowers, fruits, .... AND NOW W A T E R too.
How pathetic.
It is the responsibility of OUR Generation. It is OUR generation that let all this happen.
We need to set it all right, before we depart from here.
Bring back open soil surface . IF anybody say like.. it is impossible....due to current situations of flats, apartments, .... tar filled , cement filled , tiles filled spaces all around us... THEN THINK OF building 3 to 7 Residential Towers , like 50 floors towers. Accommodate everyone in those towers. Reclaim the other housing spaces.
There we can create open soil surfaces in every locality.
Bring back COWS.
Bring back dairy locally in every suburb.
As we cannot have dairy, vegetables gardens etc in every flat/house
Make community dairy mandatory like how we now have police station fire station, school etc
so we get REAL MILK locally and FREE within few years when number of cattles increase. Yes. FREE. IT IS POSSIBLE. And also all dairy products like butter, ghee, buttermilk, ...
We will have manure also now.
We have created open soil surfaces.
Bring back USEFUL FRUIT GROWING TREES, destroy all ornamental trees and crotons which all fooled us into devilish ornamental fashion life of no worth.
Bring back USEFUL VEGETABLE PLANTS AND CREEPERS
Bring back USEFUL FLOWERING PLANTS
Bring back USEFUL HERBAL PLANTS AND SHRUBS
Also certain variety like
Neem tree, peepal, pongu trees, ... all these useful trees need careful nurturing and protection.
Bring back bees, sparrows, all sorts of birds and cattles and the complete ecosystem.
When we have all these locally available, the misleading statements like 'udhyogam purusha.....whatever' will proove to our intelligence as those used by conmen or crooks into false deceiving life .
Moreover the dairy, vegetables, fruits, flowers .... will be made available locally and FREE with the local development funds that is already available in LAKHS AND CRORES.
All just need to spend time leisurely looking after these varied tasks of caring and nurturing and creating abundance of dairy, fruits, vegetables, pulses, rices, maize, wheat, flowers, water resources, ... by volunteering in whatever field one feels to be expert or interested to become experts.
Progress is NOT Making money, building towers, skyscrappers, malls, tar roads, cement roads, tiled surfaces, useless lawns with artificial chemical grass and crotons..
PROGRESS IS WHEN NONE NEED TO STRESS THEMSELVES TO LIVE. When none need money to live. When Earthly resources are made abundant and ecosystem is brought back, nurtured, protected and cared for with compassion and responsibility
Remember we used walk barefoot.
They cited thorns as reasons to make us use footwear.
When we got rid off thorns from walkways, the crooks threw broken bottles everywhere and kept us buying footwears..
When we got rid off these too, they started spitting everywhere..and continued to fool us saying footwears are necessary. They never made us use our brains to think the real issue is to vanquish these crooks.
Now that the spitting has not stopped, they also strewn garbage everywhere and if PWD workers were employed to clean, the streets and roads get nasty again within next 30 minutes. The crooks will thrive with our foolishness continuing to be fools by making us pay for those crooks by way of tax, bribes, donations, sympathy, charity, robbery, muggings, muscle power, fear strategies, ......
So coming elections, let us all come together and explain as in this comment and bring back the GOLDEN ERA OF OUR LAND, where abundance existed and large united families lived together in merry and happiness without the devil called money.
Let us get back our intelligence
🙏🏼🙏🏼

Assurance and injects more inspiration and motivation
Tony Stark of India.
I love?
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..!
Hats off to you Sir..!!
Sridhar is a star & he will inspire many. But you should move away from rioting ways & burning public property opposing Modi.
He actually supports RSS. And he happens to be brahmin also. This gives burn to DMK goons, who hate him.
