At the stroke of Independence Day, tech moguls Sridhar Vembu, Anand Mahindra, and Peyush Bansal shared their messages of pride and hope. Vembu, founder of Zoho, echoed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for Indian companies to compete with global leaders, emphasizing a heightened commitment to research and development. Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, quoted Subramania Bharati in a message that transcended national borders, stating "She speaks eighteen languages yet her thought is one."
Bansal, co-founder of Lenskart, focused on the stark reality that millions of Indians lack access to simple eyeglasses, launching a campaign titled Drishti ki Daud - the Run for Vision. Participants were encouraged to walk or run 20,000 steps on August 15 or 16, with each step symbolizing the gift of vision for someone in need. Bansal's post urged citizens to unite in celebrating freedom by giving the gift of sight, noting that the cost is minimal yet the reach remains unreachable.
