Sridhar Vembu urges India to keep building to earn global respect

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has argued that India must focus on developing its own talent and technology to earn international respect. His remarks were a response to concerns raised by Eric Weinstein about rising hostility toward Indians on social media. Vembu contended that national progress should not hinge on political allegiances and should instead prioritise strengthening institutions. He also said that racism is best answered with constructive action rather than with hatred.
