Bombay Shaving Company Founder and CEO says ‘most people in India don’t like their jobs’: ‘99% wont show up to work if…’

Bombay Shaving Company's founder and CEO Shantanu Deshpande, in a reflective post on LinkedIn, spoke about the Indian work culture and said that most people in the country don't like their jobs. In his post, Shantanu said that if financial security and sustenance were provided to every individual in India, most people wouldn't feel the need to return to work the next day. Not sure of the numbers but they definitely do not pay even 1.8% of the taxes.” The post further read, “These families and other 'equity builders' like me are guilty of peddling a 'work hard and climb up' narrative because it's self serving of course, but also what other option is there? You would otherwise just sit on the couch and consume social media on your phone.” Another pointed out that while 99 per cent of corporate employees might not show up, nations are built by workers in fields like farming, teaching, engineering, healthcare, and even street vendors, many of whom would still go to work.
