They don't speak perfect English, not obsessed with JEE or NEET coaching: Zoho's Rs 50,000 crore founder backs rural India's talent
In a world obsessed with polished degrees, fluent English, and coaching-centre success stories, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu is backing a different kind of talent—the kind that doesn't come from air-conditioned classrooms but from the untapped brilliance of rural India. In a powerful social media post, the Rs 50,000 crore tech entrepreneur made a strong case for recognising and nurturing the raw, unfiltered creativity that lies beyond metros and resumes. Vembu expressed that a vast section of Bharat remains unconcerned with prestigious degrees, fluent English, early coaching for JEE or NEET, or the ups and downs of the stock market. He believes this segment of the population holds immense untapped creative energy crucial for the country's development. According to him, it's within this pool—rich in scientific and technical potential—that he's now choosing to invest his efforts. The Zoho CEO, known for championing grassroots innovation, reaffirmed his mission to scout and cultivate talent beyond traditional pathways. He emphasised that he's so convinced by the potential of untapped rural brilliance that he's devoting his energy to discovering and nurturing it firsthand.

One user asked how such untapped talent could be brought into manufacturing roles. Vembu responded candidly, explaining that Zoho's approach is to hire and train individuals with no prior experience but a strong eagerness to learn—an effort that requires experienced mentors guiding the way. Others echoed his belief in the hidden brilliance that often lies within small towns and rural schools. Several users pointed out that true genius frequently goes unnoticed in modest settings, where curiosity thrives over coaching. Many agreed that what Bharat truly needs isn't more polished resumes, but a stronger belief in its raw and untapped potential. Another user pointed out that the real issue isn't a lack of talent but limited access to opportunities. They noted that while many Indians are drawn to the West, the country itself has proven its innovative strength through institutions like ISRO and DRDO, which showcase remarkable versatility and homegrown excellence. In a country where access to opportunity still depends largely on geography and privilege, his approach offers a radical rethinking: that perhaps the next generation of tech pioneers won't come from IIT or IIM, but from the farmlands, small towns, and local schools of Bharat. As one user aptly summed it up: 'Grateful to see you are building that bridge."

Never mind the movie - just get the popcorn! That's the latest audience trend at the cinema
Step into a multiplex these days and it would seem that the people have come there more for the popcorn and the fizzy drinks than to watch a movie. The F&B (food and beverage) business of cinemas has been holding relatively steady even though movies haven't been doing too well at the box office over the past few months, especially in the Hindi belt, theatre owners and experts said. However, experts said ancillary streams such as F&B can thrive only when new movies start performing well. More importantly, exorbitant F&B rates are pinching viewers across demographics and segments. With even basic popcorn and cola combos priced upwards of ₹700 in some cases, audiences are feeling ripped off. For PVR Inox, India's largest multiplex chain, although revenue from the sale of movie tickets fell 9.9% in FY25, the dip in F&B was lower at 6.7%. F&B spending per head actually rose by 1.5%. The successful re-release of older hits and strategies like showing cricket matches and live events, along with discounts and buy-one-get-one-free offers for F&B have helped exhibitors. According to theatre owners, audience preferences too have changed. 'Audiences today seek more than just the traditional popcorn-and-cola experience. Our expanded food offerings now include a full range of meals, and we're observing a clear pattern of individual orders per head, especially in group settings, leading to higher average spends per customer," said Kunal Sawhney, chief operating officer of MovieMax Cinemas. Sawhney added that several initiatives have contributed to strong F&B performance including a diverse menu featuring both snacks and meal options, the ability to pre-order food while booking tickets, and redesigned cafés with specialty counters. In addition, there are auditorium delivery, digital ordering and payment convenience, on-screen promotions, customised menus and flexible pricing. Complete experience Rahul Puri, managing director, Mukta Arts and Mukta A2 Cinemas, agreed that F&B revenue has remained steady and, in many locations, grown despite a dull box office. 'Guests are increasingly seeing cinema outings as a complete experience, and indulgence in quality food and beverages has become a big part of that. Consistent innovation in our menu, value-driven pricing, and strong in-theatre promotions have helped keep F&B performance strong, even when box office content fluctuates," he added. Several cinema chains expect F&B to become a significant contributor to revenue. With strong guest response to value-driven offerings and continued focus on quality, they anticipate an even more important role for F&B in the business. 'Currently, F&B contributes around 34% of our revenue. We expect this to grow to 40% in the next two years," said Bhuvanesh Mendiratta, managing director, Miraj Entertainment Ltd, a company that operates multiplex theatres. However, experts pointed out that the real driver of the film business is new and exciting movies. Even though F&B does its bit to improve earnings, it will always remain an incidental – and not standalone – expense. 'F&B is a demand derived from the film. Also, prices are too high, especially in national chains, and this negative perception built around F&B in general is very sad for the overall business," independent exhibitor Vishek Chauhan said. While single-screen owners operating in smaller towns such as Chauhan are cognizant of the need to maintain reasonable F&B rates, mostly pricing popcorn and colas below ₹100, they said the bigger chains have clearly outpriced at least 90% of the population. 'Multiplexes are seen as a brand for the rich and even when it comes to people who can afford these rates, the narrative around being ripped off stays. The negative perception has been built," Chauhan added.
