Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu says India can rise as a tech power by developing its own low-cost tools - software and hardware built domestically to meet local and global needs. He frames affordability as strategic: lower-priced, reliable solutions expand adoption among small and medium enterprises, reduce import dependence, and improve resilience. His view links capability-building to broad-based engineering education, local manufacturing, and sustained R&D rather than subsidy-led growth. The approach prioritizes practical, modular products, frugal design, and long-term maintenance, aiming to create export-ready platforms while addressing India’s price-sensitive market. https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/news/zoho-ceo-sridhar-vembu-says-india-can-rise-as-tech-power-by-making-its-own-low-cost-tools/ar-AA1SS7is?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds
