Episode 28 - A conversation on life, spirituality & startup with Sridhar Vembu, CEO - Zoho Corp

The Indian startup ecosystem has now come in the spotlight as an increasing number of startups achieve the unicorn status while creating products and services that add immense value to the ecosystem. In this Edelweiss Money Konnect podcast episode, Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss AMC has an in-depth conversation with Sridhar Vembu, CEO – Zoho Corp about the startup ecosystem, the Zoho story, and the code for surviving in this ecosystem.

Key takeaways

• For the Indian growth story to be resilient, Indian companies should focus on creating capabilities that are built locally through balance, symmetry, and harmony.
• Startups should look to solve problems in segments where they are one of many. Once they gain enough clout and resources, then they can compete with the bigger fish.
• Homegrown businesses need not just come out of metros. Rural India has a lot to offer and the next stage of growth should largely come from there.
