Zoho Founder Reveals Skills Children Should Learn To Excel In Life
Zoho's founder Sridhar Vembu believes that children should learn certain skills to excel in life, beyond just academic excellence. Vembu emphasised the importance of skills like art, music, poetry, sports and cooking. According to him, these skills help develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance and critical thinking. Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them? (apart from the fact that I am not good in any of them 😁, at least I get to appreciate some of them) We need… — Sridhar Vembu (@svembu) July 22, 2025 Also Read | Influencer Goes For A Swim In Her "Favourite Spot" In Cape Town, It Turns Out To Be Sewage Water In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu wrote, "Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them?" "We need children to have a decent exposure to these at a young age - not because we expect them to grow up to be brilliant mathematicians or world class chess players or world class chefs but because an exposure to these help them to be good at whatever they end up doing." Vembu stated that by exposure, he doesn't mean competitive pressure. Exposure to art and sculpture can help someone become a great architect, he added. He stressed that exposure to these skills is more important than becoming an expert, as it can help children become well-rounded individuals. His approach focuses on nurturing curious, sensitive and well-rounded individuals. According to him, these foundational skills can quietly enhance how children think, create and solve problems, regardless of their future paths. Internet reacts to the post The post revived massive traction, users praising his thoughts. "Foster CURIOSITY - children develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance, and critical thinking that enrich whatever they pursue," one user wrote. "Ancient India was good at everything. Unfortunately we are losing touch and unfortunately there are people abandoning it for the sake of being modern. We need to embrace our roots," a second user said. "Beautifully said. These disciplines cultivate attention, abstraction, rhythm, structure, and taste with aspects that improve thought within every field. Rather than mastery, early exposure to depth is what matters. Goal, not prodigies, is the perspective. Learning of any true notice comes from a child following of a Go board or listening to Carnatic music," a third user wrote.

Carnatic vocalist Varijashree Venugopal's musical outing in France
Carnatic vocalist, Varijashree Venugopal, recently wrapped up a tour of France, where she performed at some of the country's most celebrated music festivals, in collaboration with EYM Trio — a French jazz group, featuring Elie Dufour, Marc Michel and Yann Phaphet. This summer tour marked another milestone in Varijashree's long-standing collaboration with EYM, which is into exploring new musical territories, blending Jazz and Indian classical music. 'France has a great audience for Jazz and world music, and we enjoyed playing at various venues,' says Varijashree. 'Our music is a blend of jazz compositional elements and Indian singing. With EYM, I find myself exploring the relationship between ragas and jazz harmonies with interesting compositional structures.' What began as an unexpected invitation, turned into a strong musical bond. 'The trio reached out to me six years ago to fill in for a singer. I still remember our first concert in Vienna in 2019. Our connection was immediate and we have continued to perform together since. Our collaboration even led to our album Bangalore, released in 2023.' The EYM Trio and Varijashree share a mutual admiration for each other's work. 'We explore each other's styles, find a meeting point and allow space for individual expression.' She adds, 'As a student of Carnatic music, I've always been fascinated by the Western harmony. For jazz musicians, Indian ragas offer something new and exciting to discover. Learning from each other has been fundamental in this journey' Lyon opera experience One of the highlights of her tour was performing at the Lyon Outdoor Opera (Peristyle), curated by the Opera House, for the city's residents. 'Playing in a half-indoor, half-outdoor setting, right in front of the Opera House in the heart of Lyon, added a vibrant energy to the experience,' she shares. 'The hustle and bustle of the city added a spark to the vibe. We played two sets for two consecutive nights, ' says Varijashree. 'It gave us a chance to perform most of our songs, including new ones that might soon become part of a new album.' Having performed in France several times in the past few years, Varijashree says, 'People are always open and appreciative. Their response makes me proud to represent the rich tradition of Indian music and carry it with me wherever I go.' Varijashree was also a part of Mahabharata, a project by Riccardo Nova in Italy. This European contemporary classical production blends rhythms, Sanskrit lyrics and storytelling. 'Working with the EYM Trio has opened up new ways of music-making for me, and that reflects in projectslike Mahabharata,' she says. 'Every project has its own feel. Moving between them takes focus and emotional involvement. But being part of such different worlds has helped me grow as an artiste,' she adds. Musical roots Varijshree's global experiences are extensions of her musical grounding. Daughter of Bengaluru-based flautist H.S. Venugopal and Carnatic vocalist Rama Venugopal, Varijashree credits her parents for her early initiation into music. 'Music was always part of our household. I was exposed to it constantly, either by attending concerts or simply sitting through my father's lessons with his students. ,' she shares. She had her formal training under her parents, and later, trained under H. Geetha and Salem Sundaresan. From Hindustani and light classical to Sugama Sangeeta, devotional songs, ghazals and fusion Varijashree — she was exposed to all forms of music. 'As a child, I used to notate everything I heard using Indian notation, always trying to incorporate those elements into my singing. I still do that,' she says. 'Most of my compositions are now voice-trumental, tunes without lyrics. The Indian sargam (the seven notes) remains my anchor.' For Varijashree, music has always been about emotional expressions. While technique is important, she believes, it is the feeling that lingers. 'Everything I create must lead to that emotional impact and the story the artiste wants to tell. That magical moment for me is when the artiste and audience connect. What I try to explore with my music and voice goes beyond genres and cultures. It is an expression of who I am.'
