Sridhar Vembu: Loyalty, Not Pressure, Drives Indian Tech Leadership Success

• Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu challenges the notion that India's 'perform or perish' culture is why Indians excel in global tech.
• Vembu argues that Indian employees' strong loyalty to organizations and their tendency to 'outlast the system' are key factors.
• He suggests that long-term employees, who accumulate trust and institutional memory, naturally rise in leadership pipelines.
• Vembu also highlights the 'immigrant drive' and India's extended family structure providing emotional safety, reducing existential stress.
• The debate, sparked by entrepreneur Jasveer Singh, explores whether success stems from cultural values, systemic pressure, or adaptability.
