SRIDHAR VEMBU, founder of Zoho Corp, believes that the future of success in technology and leadership in India lies in its villages. In a publication on X (formerly Twitter), ambitious engineers and businessmen urged the “long -term horizon” to look beyond the main cities and consider the rural areas of India as a place to build their dreams.
“If you are an ambitious engineer or entrepreneur with a long -term horizon, rural India is a great place to build your dream,” Vembu wrote. He pointed out that, unlike the rural areas of developed countries, the countryside of India has a youth population. On the other hand, Indian cities depend on immigration from villages to preserve the workforce.
VEMBU challenged entrepreneurs in re -thinking about their approach: “Why don’t you go to the source of talent?
However, he stressed that success in these areas requires patience and long -term mindset. “The” Long -term Horizon “is very important. If you want to go out in 3 years, forget about it! And look beyond the English language and engage in their mother tongue,” he advised.
The Vembu to Action invitation comes a few weeks after the CEO of Zoho Corp. He recently moved to the role of a chief scientist, and turned his focus towards research and development. His recent message strengthens his belief in decentralization and rural empowerment – the values that formed Zoho’s approach to developing talent for years.
