As India celebrates Parag Agrawal, Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu warns against "metrics obsession"

Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu today shared his insights into why so many American companies now have Indian-origin persons at the helm.

He used the analogy of “top soil erosion” in agriculture to point out why Indian students are doing well in the United States which apparently has lost its own "top soil”, or top talent, to talent from outside the country, or “imported top soil”, thanks to the country’s extreme focus on "measure and manage" culture.
