Sridhar Vembu, the CEO of Zoho, has expressed his sadness over the recent death of a young entrepreneur named Jayesh Ram. Jayesh was only 27 years old and died in a paragliding accident in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh last Friday.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu shared his grief after attending Jayesh’s funeral. He mentioned that Jayesh was a son of his close family friend and described him as a kind and promising business owner. Vembu said Jayesh’s company, Tools Hub, was growing fast and that he was known for treating his employees well.
Vembu also focused on the safety of adventure sports, saying, “There are way too many accidents happening” due to a lack of proper rules and regulations in India. He called for stronger safety measures, especially since there have been several recent accidents in popular tourist areas like Goa and Himachal Pradesh.
He warned young people to be careful with risky activities like paragliding, saying, “I would have thought twice before doing this.” Vembu ended his post by asking regulators to pay attention to these incidents so that more lives aren’t lost.
According to reports, Jayesh’s paragliding accident happened when his paraglider crashed into another one, resulting in his death and severe injuries to his pilot.
