In a post that sparked global debate, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu called on Non-Resident Indians to reconsider where they belong. Reacting to a study highlighting the success of Indian immigrants abroad, Vembu said:
“Why stay where you’re not welcome? India sent her best - it’s time they return.”
???? A Message Beyond Borders
His message isn’t just emotional - it’s deeply practical. As India’s economy accelerates, opportunities in innovation, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship are expanding. Vembu himself built Zoho from a rural Tamil Nadu village, showing that global impact can be made from Indian soil.
>>Why It Resonates
For many NRIs, this is a moment of reflection - about purpose, belonging, and contribution. Vembu’s call reminds us that “return” isn’t just about geography, but about reconnecting with one’s roots and helping shape India’s future.
“It’s time to bring talent, innovation, and compassion back home.” - OurNRI Editorial
