  "account": "Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu addressed racist remarks made by American investor Eric Weinstein on X, responding that he does not harbor hatred towards racists. Vembu emphasized that companies and nations are built by individuals who believe it can be done, and the urgent national priority is to build, build, and build. This statement follows days after Chicago police thwarted a potential mass shooting targeting a Hindu place of worship. Weinstein had called for others to unfollow him if they felt hatred towards Indians, Hindus, or Indian-Americans, stating that he would be happy to have such individuals follow him instead. Vembu noted that while some Indians may agree with the racist, he harbors no hatred towards them either, but instead wants to respond by building.",
  "summary": "Sridhar Vembu asserted that, while some Indians may \"agree with the racist,\" he harbours no hatred towards them either.",
