Sridhar Vembu: These days, Indian companies are facing bad reputation regarding their work culture. Indian companies have been accused of misbehaving with their employees after the death of 26-year-old Anna Sebastin Perayil, a CA of Ernst & Young India (EY India), due to excessive work pressure. These allegations have gained further momentum after the recent suicide of a Bajaj Finance employee. Now Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu, who is respected in the Indian business world, has said that the companies which put their employees in a big pressure cooker and make them work will not prove to be the horse of the long race.
I don’t want any of my employees to work under pressure
Sridhar Vembu said that the environment inside the office is spoiled by many things. Working hours alone are not responsible for this. People come away from their families for work. They have to waste hours to reach the office. They become alone. Unfortunately some break in such circumstances. If we want to ensure the future of our company, we will have to create a good working environment. Sridhar Vembu said that I have been working for about 28 years and want to work for the same number of years. But, I cannot play with my body for this. I don’t want any of my employees to do this.
