Leading Public Company Harder Than Private Firm: Zoho’s Vembu

Inc42 · 1y

In a recent post, Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu expressed his belief that leading a public company is much harder than running a private one. He highlighted the pressure of managing a public company's stock price and the potential for employee burnout and attrition. Vembu's comments came after the CEO of Freshworks, Girish Mathrubootham, stepped down. Zoho continues to remain a profitable, privately-owned company, allowing them to focus on long-term critical projects and growth without pushing employees too hard. Vembu's words sparked a discussion about the benefits and downsides of going public.
