In a strongly formulated contribution of LinkedIn, entrepreneur and investor criticized the startup community reaction to recent comments from Trade Minister Piyush Goyal, in particular the co -founder of ships called Aman Gupty for his praise by the Minister.
Gupta previously published that “not every day when the government asks the founder to dream more,” refers to Goyal's comments on the Mahakumbhu startup, where the Minister asked why Indian founders largely built “consumer technology” and did not focus on “deep technology” or innovatives. While Gupta interpreted comments as an encouragement, the entrepreneur and investor Sam Baisla captivated a sharply different opinion.
“Everything is wrong with this attitude,” Baisla wrote, adding that Gupt's statement indicated that he needed the minister “public mockery and mockery” to start bigger dreams. Baisla then asked three questions focused not only on Gupta, but on the wider ecosystem of the launch and investors in India.
“The task of the government is to facilitate and serve citizens, not to change, blame and say them lazy. he asked.
Baisla also argued that the success of Indian entrepreneurs around the world would refute the idea that Indian talent lacks ambition or work ethics. “If people are lazy and stupid, why do they flourish abroad?” He asked and pointed out the successes of the Indians who leave the country and build global societies.
“The attitude of sucking powerful people and not what is right is the cancer of our country,” Baisla said, warning that “this culture” Jira, Hi Gadhe Hain “destroys the future of our next generations.”
Notes reflect a similar reaction of the starting community in response to Goyal comments. Many entrepreneurs have taken social media to blame the bureaucracy and government red tapes for slowing the beginning sector of India. However, several of them see government criticism as a necessary responsibility, while others consider it cooperation to deeper innovations.
