‘Globalisation Is Dead’: Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu Urges India To Build Sovereign AI After US Restricts Anthropic Models
Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu urged India to speed up technological self-reliance after US export controls prompted Anthropic to restrict access to its advanced AI models outside America. Calling technology a pillar of national sovereignty, Vembu advocated stronger domestic R&D and adoption of open-source AI models to build India's independent capabilities.
Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has called on India to accelerate its technological self reliance following the US government’s export controls that led Anthropic to disable access to its advanced Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for users outside America. Vembu described the development as a stark reminder that technology is now central to national sovereignty and security. He declared that globalisation is effectively over and urged Bharat to forge its own way forward by embracing smaller Indian and Chinese open source models while deepening domestic research and development efforts. Zoho is pursuing alternative, cost effective AI approaches, emphasising patience in building sovereign capabilities. Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Warns of ‘Insane’ AI-Driven Tech Bubble, Says Valuations Are ‘Even Bigger Than 1999’.
