From Sachin Bansal's Twitter: 'If Covid lockdown happened in my childhood, my dad's business would have failed'

Ex-Flipkart CEO Sachin Bansal recently took to Twitter and shared his thoughts on what would have happened had the lockdown taken place during his childhood. In a no-holds-barred tweet, Bansal expressed his concerns on the dwindling economy, the impact of the crisis on small businesses and the middle class households.

“If COVID lockdowns had happened in my childhood, my father's small business would have failed and I would have grown in poverty instead of a middle class household,” wrote Bansal.

He then sent out another tweet in which he wrote that he wouldn’t have been able to achieve a ‘fraction of what he did’ and that it is happening to lakhs of kids today.


Just last month, Bansal had sent out a tweet saying that Indians can’t lock themselves up at home for two years and wait for a vaccine (for Covid-19).

"We can't lock ourselves up for two years in homes waiting for a vaccine. India can't make use of the opportunities if our most productive people are locked in their homes,” wrote Bansal.

The ex-Flipkart CEO’s tweet came on the same day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package to revive the economy battered by Covid-19.
