Shark Tank India fame Radhika Gupta recalls mom’s shoe advice after Donald Trump’s big step

Radhika Gupta, the CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Funds, recently shared her thoughts on the news that former President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order mandating that for every new rule, regulation, or guidance introduced by an agency, at least 10 existing ones must be repealed. The entrepreneur was reminded of her mother’s golden words.

The Shark Tank India fame expressed her approval on X, calling the move brilliant. She noted that it ensures regulations remain up to date without increasing the cost of compliance by allowing outdated rules to accumulate. She compared it to a scenario where her mother would tell her to discard an old shoe when buying a new one, highlighting the importance of managing both cupboard space and compliance costs efficiently.

Internet reacts

One person suggested that the executive order aims to encourage agencies to identify outdated regulations, not just within their own but across other agencies as well. This approach could promote deeper collaboration and learning between different agencies, helping to streamline processes and improve logical thinking and competence. They believe this could lead to more efficient and transferable personnel and could even impact criminal charges in a positive way.


Another individual disagreed, pointing out that regulations exist for important reasons, and while redundant or stifling regulations should be removed, the idea of replacing one rule with ten others might not be beneficial.

A third comment mentioned that similar scrutiny should be applied to new standing meetings or committees within any corporate organization, questioning their necessity and value.
