Indian Techies in US: Tech entrepreneur Sridhar Vembu has renewed his appeal to Indians and Indian-origin engineers and entrepreneurs to return to India from the US. Vembu had just earlier today said there would be no appraisal at Zoho, a software company founded by him, this year even as he was trying to stave off mass layoffs.

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has confessed that the homegrown company is facing a difficult time. Vembu says that Zoho has cancelled appraisals this year, and is trying hard to avoid layoffs amid rising expenses due to AI.

After announcing a freeze on annual appraisals at Zoho to avoid layoffs, tech entrepreneur Sridhar Vembu is facing criticism over his earlier appeal to Indians in the US to return home and build in India following disruptions to the Green Card process. However, Vembu has doubled down on his call, urging Indian and Indian-origin engineers and entrepreneurs to return from the US and contribute to India's growth.

After Zoho cancelled appraisals, Sridhar Vembu said India still has many things to build. His remarks shifted the focus from software jobs to broader work opportunities.
