Vembu Praises Pradhan's Resignation, Calls for Social Media Ban for Young Children

Vembu wrote on social media, "Dharmendra Pradhan is one of the finest public servants I know. He cares a lot about the youth of this country, especially rural students. We have had many discussions on how to upskill rural youth." The co-founder of AdJoho said, "His resignation has saddened me. He has put the country above himself and now my respect for him has increased more than ever." Vembu ended his message by writing, "Thank you for your services, Dharmendra Pradhan. Please continue your struggle in the interest of the country." A day before the ad, Sridhar Vembu had advocated for banning social media for young children in India. He had said that India should ban social media for young children. The former CEO of Zoho has urged India to ban social media for young children just like France. Vembu's response to this year's children's parliament passed a historic bill banning the use of social media for children under the age of 15 on social media platforms in France.
