- Serving the Under-served: Lessons from A Real-world Journey is the topic for the lecture by Shri. Sridhar Vembu (BTEE-89 ), Co-founder, Zoho Corp (formerly AdvenNet) held at IC & SR Auditorium, IIT Madras.
In this presentation, Shri. Sridhar Vembu shares some insights we have learned from Zoho, to highlight one possible path to success in life and business: serving the under-served. That fundamental idea reflects in the way we recruit, the way we find markets for our products, where we locate our offices and the communities we engage with.
About Shri. Sridhar Vembu:

Today, Zoho is emerging as the business operating system in the cloud, offering a comprehensive suite of online software applications for business.

Context-free education (learning without any objective) is what 90% of colleges are Teaching. Contextual education is what we really need to master any subject/topic. Have an objective first before learning anything. Regardless of your colleges,degrees.
great lecture .. the mental liberation that Sridhar saw by burning his thesis is at a point when he already reached the epitome of academics.. the only issue with that is , only if you get there and have it all , you will see the value of loosing / getting rid of it .. but for the vast majority they are still trying to get there or never been there to realise that it actually doesnt really matter.... But this lecture and the message that sridhar carries everywhere is so inspiring that indian youth need to pay attention to this man . Sridhar is the right person to carry this message because he has been there and done it .
yes! Sridhar vembu sir perspective about Indian education system is absolutely true.why means my brother is in IT field what he studied and what now he doing in company is completely irrelevant most (all) of the peoples are like that only.zoho University will give benchmark in our education system lets hope: ). this my first tym I am watched 1hour speech in youtube.thanks for channel to provide this video👌👌👏
So inspiring and eye-opening view of mostly useless tradisional education and how education should be actually. Loved this 👏
After listening this post,i felt little freedom within me,just walked out from apartments for 3 kms alone.thank you
Good see and visit my kathiavadi village walaja taluk ranipet district close to madras see the developments greenery etc our mind body becomes calm serene and have inner peace where one can work like dr albert Einstein ofcourse with very good facilities excellent infrastructure these villages have . That's how a place has to be.i experienced very much in canada not in New York city but places like Indianapolis calm .hope we can develop better world
this is interesting …l like his views on contextual education... but as usual people could misunderstand.

Practical advice for students and also for all who want grow as an entrepreneur and want to live a peaceful life .
Wowow IIT dumbs didnt understand a word but amazing this about this person is HE spoke for Himself you are worth to be noted sir
This guy is a breathe of fresh air in an industry full of massive egos.
Sridhar, If you see this message, do reply. :)
Zoho is making a group of citizens who can write a code. But do you think Zoho programs will be able to find another leader like "Sridhar" among the students? Honestly, I doubt it. We need the university programs not to teach a student a bunch of career skills, but to breed a batch of educated citizens in an environment built on the pillars of free speech and critical thinking. These pillars may enable these students to explore their potential in various domains, and honestly, getting a job or finding their career is just a byproduct of those explorations. Still, I do agree that Zoho is doing well financially. Nevertheless, we need our university programs to find the next Sridhar.
I think if someone works with Sridhar there is a better chance of being a visionary like him than by working out university courses. This is called Leading by Example. I don't agree to "Bunch of people who knows to code", they are learning how things work. Edision was like that, very much so.
Thank you for posting this very informative video :) appreciate your effort !
It all comes down to cost. Zoho does not want to afford high pay for strong talent. So they are building their own grass roots tech pipeline.
Wow, wow, wow !!!
The number of people hearing the speech is less,if the event had been advertised,we could have had more audience
Interesting talk, although it didn’t seem as if the audience - being students of an elite educational institution - quite appreciated or understood the talk. I doubt I would have. I needed a bunch of failures to knock some sense into me.
That said, I wish Sridhar had emphasised the importance of liberal arts a lot more. He did talk about it, favourably I thought, but I wasn’t sure how he’d square it with contextual education. I devoured Russell in my free time while pursuing my Engineering degree. I remember cursing myself for not becoming acquainted with his works sooner, but in retrospect I could say with certainty that I wasn’t ready any time sooner.
VERY PRACTICAL, INSPIRING
great talk
This is knowledgeable
Very Inspirational !!👌
Wow, Great
I like always Sridhar sir😀😋

Hire Cheaper engineers and keep them more loyal in your company, giving a degree means, they can find another job, Right?

Is it not true that there is something more valuable he gained at IIT/Princeton is lost by his employees?
IIT MADARAS>>>>>> wah re wah

Need guts to speak something like this in IIT which is considered as pinnacle to Education system.
