Sridhar Vembu's Humble Daily Commute: A Glimpse into the Life of a Tech Billionaire

In a heartwarming encounter at Bengaluru airport, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu met Ankit Kherodiya, the co-founder and CEO of ReVx Energy, the company behind the battery management systems for Montra electric autos. Vembu, who was enjoying a ghee masala dosa at the time, was delighted to discover the connection between his daily vehicle and the man behind its battery.

Vembu shared a series of pictures on social media, including a selfie with Kherodiya and a photo of the Zoho founder driving the vibrant e-auto. The post went viral, with social media users expressing their surprise and admiration for Vembu's conscious choice of using an electric auto for his daily commute.

The Zoho founder has owned the electric auto for over two years now, and got it customised to suit his needs. In a previous post, he had praised the Montra electric auto for its "fast pick up and nice suspension," and expressed his enthusiasm for the product. Vembu believes that an electric auto is a great and safe upgrade over a scooter or motorcycle, and thinks of it as the "family scooter" due to its ease of navigation and parking.
