Mid-week motivation: Rishad Premji reveals why he likes diversity in his team; Marico boss values progress more than perfection

Many offices are reopening after a gap of two whole years.

From anxiety to excitement, employees share a range of strange sentiments during this time.

India Inc bosses took it upon themselves to spread some cheer with their inspirational Twitter posts.


Talking about the importance of change, Flipkart founder Sachin Bansal said that people perceive the world as they are, and looking at the world from another lens can help change a lot of things around them.

"As they reveal their world view, they indirectly reveal their self view," his post read.


On the other hand, Rishad Premji, Chairman of Wipro, knows the secret to form a magical team - diversity of thought.

The IT boss is of the opinion that diverse teams bring a lot of things to the table, from experiences and perspectives to ways of working.

He wrote, "Diverse teams should not only look different - they must be different and bring differing experiences, perspectives, ways of working, doing, etc. to the table. That’s when the magic happens."


Meanwhile, Edelweiss Mutual Fund MD and CEO Radhika Gupta, who will welcome her first child in June, took some time off her busy schedule to remind her more than 145K followers that failures are not the end.

The mom-to-be said that she always reminds herself that her failure was worth trying.


Marico Chairman Harsh Mariwala, who regularly shares nuggets of personal and professional lessons, took to the micro-blogging site to remind his 931.5K followers that no one is perfect.

The 72-year-old businessman urged people to not limit their potential by struggling to be perfect. He said that seeking progress is way better than perfection.

"I'm happy with something, I will go ahead with it. And then keep striving to do better," he shared as a part of his social media feature #HarshRealities, which is also the title of his book.
