Zoho working on India specific AI
Vembu believes India needs its own style of AI, not just copies of Western models.
Zoho is working on two projects to make this happen and is tackling energy challenges in and around Tenkasi in Tamil Nadu.
The conversation also highlighted how rural areas could drive tech growth, and help decentralize opportunities across the country.
