He has sworn never to take outside investment, yet has managed to build a company with more revenue than many of the recent IPO companies. Sridhar shares his secrets from bootstrapping Zoho to hundreds of millions in revenue.

    Very interesting interview that offers a perspective that is rather fresh to me. I am of course here because I had doubts about adopting Zoho products for our business and I am reassured by what Mr. Sridhar had to say.

    Such a great, smart, wise and, at the same time, humble person! And the interviewer seems to not be able to swallow how someone may not want vc money and the whole typical funded company path... the interviewer seems somewhat inexperienced in the whole startup / vc / bootstrapping area, and I also do not appreciate how he kinda belittles and seems to treat the guy “from higher above” while he is nowhere near the level of achievement of the guy..

    • @87murthy
      @87murthy 3 роки тому +3

      No, the interviewer is neither arrogant nor dumb. He's just playing the devil's advocate in order to make the interview more interesting and informative. Its an interview tactic where the playful friction between the interviewer and the interviewed makes it more engaging

      It means, the VC will exit in 7 years and will liquidate his holdings. Sridhar says if he’s in for a long haul, why does the VC should exit. Beautiful point!

    • @vaibhavdesai6998
      @vaibhavdesai6998 5 років тому +2

      VCs offer an investment at an attractive valuation in exchange of equity in the company. They mentor founders and work with them in framing the further outlook and trajectory to grow the company and exit the company by selling their stake to some other investor who is willing to buy the stake at that future valuation or by means of an IPO.

      If the Promoter cannot find a Buyer for the stake held by the VC, and the deal requires it. Thee VC can force he Promoter to sell his stake also. It is called the 'Drag Along' clause

    Mr Shreedhar Vemu, Zoho IT Corpn TN.
    Godi media never showed this great person and his Company Zoho Corporation.. the real son of India..!! Mr Shreedhar Vemu is real patriot of India, the Bharat (not Modi's hindustan), who did not forget his Mother India (not Hindustan). He has given work to Nine Thousand hands..!! (9000 x 2 hand in reality)
    Whereas Modi's 28 patriots from Gujrath left India safely with booty of ₹.10 lakh
    crores within 5 years..!
    He has sold 23 PSUs leaving 20 lakhs people jobless..! And safely forgot to create two lakh jobs every year.. raising a great rama temple.. to produce beggers..!

      He has been recently awarded padma shree and also he has been appointed to the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB)(for technology related inputs), led by national security advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval so don't say modi government is not recognising him. Appointment of Vembu ji in NSAB clearly tells what govt think of him.

    If Zoho has 500 million in revenue why doesn't it spend about 103.34 rupees on publishing some clear, understandable documentation?
    Nothing in the world will frustrate a human being more than attempting to create something mundane with a zoho app, and spend weeks trying to do something obvious, just to find out it's a platform limitation - which has not been published or explained anywhere - or that there is some super top secret double underwater chess procedure for performing something that is a push of a button elsewhere.
    It's frigging confounding, in a way that only Indians making software for other Indians could manage to comprehend.
    That said, I guess it's rather like an easter egg hunt- the hunt being half the fun.
    Yeah, once you get by those things I am rather addicted to it.
