Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has questioned the relevance of defining people purely through generational labels, arguing that values such as hard work, financial responsibility and simplicity are not limited to any particular age group. Sharing examples from his interactions with young employees, Vembu said he continues to see these “timeless” attitudes among Gen-Z as well.
Check full text of Sridhar Vembu's post:
A 19 year old employee told me last week that she works hard to earn money so that her parents can repay their loans and support her younger siblings. That is her foremost priority in life. She buys only low cost clothes, she mends her broken footwear and so on because she wants to save every rupee. I told her I would visit her parents and tell them how proud they should be of their daughter.
Recently two marriages happened among our employees (ages around 25) and both told me they took my advice to keep the wedding simple and not spend too much money.
These attitudes are timeless. I find them equally in Gen-Z.
