Zoho CEO's $1.7B Divorce Among World's Costliest
Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu is going through a very expensive divorce.
A court in California has asked him to put aside $1.7 billion because of the divorce case with his wife, Pramila Srinivasan.
This is one of the most expensive divorces in the world.
They got married in 1993 and have a son.
Srinivasan says Vembu moved to India and took away important things from their company, Zoho, without telling her.
Vembu says he did nothing wrong and moved to India to work on projects there.
The court is still deciding what will happen.
Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu is involved in a $1.7 billion divorce case with his wife Pramila Srinivasan.
The case is among the world's costliest divorces and the most expensive involving an Indian businessman.
Vembu's net worth is estimated at $5.85 billion, with most of Zoho's shares held by his siblings.
Srinivasan alleges Vembu transferred key Zoho assets to relatives in India to reduce her legal entitlement.
Vembu denies wrongdoing, stating he moved to India for rural initiatives and offered to have his family join him.
