Mid-week motivation: Edelweiss MF CEO urges people to accept change, Flipkart boss says only dead people have fixed opinions

Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, "Change is the only constant." And, the Corporate India bosses concur with this chain of thought.

Flipkart founder Sachin Bansal, through his tweet, advocated a strong message for 'change'. He said that people must constantly challenge their assumptions and beliefs.

Not doing so may mean, "you are close to dead."


"Only the dead don’t change their opinions. If you have too many fixed opinions you are close to dead," he wrote.


Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, also took to Twitter to urge her 143.5K followers to 'accept change' before one forces them to.


On the other hand, it appears like Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji has been interacting with a lot of Gen Z crowd lately.

Discreetly sharing the importance of changing times, the IT boss said that communicating with the Gen Z employees through email feels outdated.

Every year, the Bangalore-based company recruits a new batch of freshers in order to generate employment. In the financial year 2022-23, Wipro had said it plans to hire about 30,000 freshers.


Meanwhile, Harsh Mariwala asked his 930.6K Twitter followers about how doing something despite being afraid changed them.

"Tell me something you feared doing, but you did it anyway. How did that change you," asks the businessman.

The Marico Chairman often likes to interact with his followers to understand them better.

However, RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka got candid and shared overcoming his Covid fear. He revealed that he met the FMCG boss for dinner, and learnt life lessons from him, the 'Harsh reality' guru.


In another tweet, Mariwala said that he always ensured he reached a meeting a few minutes before time. "Only when you respect someone else's time, will they be able to respect yours," he wrote.


The 72-year-old is known for sharing personal and professional life lessons as a part of his #HarshRealities series - a pun on his name and the name of his book - on social media for nearly a year.
