Zoho's Sridhar Vembu: AI will outperform 90% of coders in months

Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu said at TechSparks that AI already writes better code than 60–70% of engineers and will surpass 90% within three to six months. He likened traditional coding to a "handloom" era and urged India to build foundational technologies rather than chase AI applications.

• Vembu: AI already writes better code than 60–70% of engineers
• AI could surpass 90% of coders within three to six months
• 97% of Indians don't write code and will be largely unaffected
• Zoho redeploys engineers to deeptech hardware instead of layoffs
