Zoho's founder defends Make in India from criticism

Sridhar Vembu, founder of Zoho, defended the Make in India initiative in response to a Kerala Congress post that criticized it. The post featured a tombstone image suggesting the initiative has failed since 2014. Vembu highlighted Zoho's recent expansion in Kerala and emphasized the need to rebuild neglected sectors. He stated that Make in India is gaining momentum and urged reflection on past economic delays. Zoho has been increasing its operations across India, focusing on smaller towns. The Make in India initiative, launched in 2014, aims to boost local manufacturing and reduce import reliance.
