After her call for women to “freeze their eggs” so they can focus on their careers and not rush into marriage sparked controversy, entrepreneur Upasana Kamineni Konidela has stepped forward to address the criticisms and emphasise her point more vehemently.

After Apollo Healthcare’s Upasana Konidela urged women to invest in themselves by freezing their eggs and focussing on their career in their 20s, Zoho’s CEO Sridhar Vembu has advised youngsters to have children early. “I advise young entrepreneurs I meet, both men and women, to marry and have kids in their 20s and not keep postponing it,” Vembu wrote on X.
