Rs 5,000 crore tycoon says real success is when others are 'jealous' of your mother

Renowned entrepreneur and billionaire Dr. Arokiaswamy Velumani recently took to social media platform X to share a heartfelt message that resonated with many. On Sunday, the visionary founder of Thyrocare Technologies posted a thoughtful statement urging men to uplift and cherish the women in their lives. His words read: “Instead of allowing the women in your life to feel envious of others, treat them in a way that makes others envious of them.”

Through this short but profound message, Dr. Velumani emphasized that this wisdom isn’t just limited to romantic relationships. He explained that both sons and daughters have a role in ensuring their mothers feel respected, loved, and proud. “It’s not just your spouse,” he elaborated. “True success is when people look at your mother and wish they were in her place.”

A vocal supporter of traditional family values, Velumani frequently advocates for nurturing strong familial bonds. He is equally vocal about the importance of instilling discipline in children rather than spoiling them. Back in April, he commented on the negative impact of overindulgence, stating that pampered children often grow up with inflated egos and unrealistic expectations. His tweet warned, “Increased stress stems from rising arrogance and entitlement. Dear parents, stop over-pampering.”


Reflecting on years of observing young adults, he highlighted two contrasting parenting approaches. Children encouraged to tackle challenges on their own tend to become confident, self-assured, and resilient. Meanwhile, those raised under constant supervision and frequent comparisons often become anxious, insecure, and emotionally fragile. He strongly believes that these outcomes are less about wealth and more about the parenting philosophy.
