Ashneer Grover, entrepreneur and BharatPe MD, slammed Sridhar Vembu's emotional appeal to Non-Resident Indians living in America to make a return to India, via a post on X on Monday. Earlier in the day, Vembu had addressed an open letter to Indians in America on X, requesting them to come to India as "Bharat Mata" needs their talent. The Zoho Corporation CEO's appeal was based on bolstering India's technological prowess through human resources. However, Grover pointed out that Vembu's statements are going against key facts of the situation in the country, calling it "delulu" and asking Vembu to be scientific in his approach. What delulu ! Record breaking heat in India is clearly making people dizzy. Just DON'T - be scientific in your approach. Look at numbers - $1 = ₹94. Temperature = 50C. https://t.co/NlaG4CwKUw— Ashneer Grover (@Ashneer_Grover) April 27, 2026"What delulu ! Record breaking heat in India is clearly making people dizzy.

For that, we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way."However, he pointed out that a significant number of Americans, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and that their success in America was unfairly earned.He added that NRIs cannot wait for any elections to fix this and have to take action themselves to maintain India's respect worldwide. "The respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself," the scientiest stated. He highlighted how respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from a nation's technological prowess and said that India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess, "but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America."In the end, he appealed to NRIs to return back to the country in order to help build this prowess with a "missionary zeal". "As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal," Vembu concluded. ALSO READ: 'Market Didn't Kill Indian Traders, System Did': Noted Technical Analyst
