Harsh Goenka counters Hotmail's Sabeer Bhatia's ‘anti-national' post: ‘India doesn't need sermons from...'
RPG Enterprises chairperson Harsh Goenka countered Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia's 'anti-national' post slamming the Indian government, and said that the country doesn't need 'sermons' for those who don't live here. In a heated exchange of words, Goenka said the billion Indians who stayed back in the country love it and are willing to 'fix what's broken.' In an X post, Sabeer Bhatia claimed that questioning elected leaders over issues of national interest, including women's safety, inflated economic numbers, lost aircraft, and more, will get the person an 'anti-national' tag. 'Say India is unsafe for women - you're anti-national. Question inflated economic numbers - you're anti-national. Call out elected leaders' lies - you're anti-national. Mention lost aircraft - you're anti-national,' he said. 'So if truth = anti-national… then who's a national? The one who lies to you?' he added. Offended by Bhatia's accusation, Harsh Goenka slammed the techie for living in California, US, and lecturing Indians back home. 'Living in California and lecturing a billion Indians back home? We live here. We vote, work, pay taxes. We love this country- and we'll fix what's broken,' he said. 'India doesn't need sermons from those who packed up and left,' Goenka added. Social media users were not very impressed by Harsh Goenka's criticism of Sabeer Bhatia and said that loving the country alone is not enough. They also said that if someone is 'showing a mirror, we should be glad.' 'Nothing is perfect in this world-neither you nor I. We love our country-no doubt about it, but we also want it to grow and command the respect of the world. We will do anything that takes it-that should be the promise of every Indian. Not empty slogans but real work,' a user said. 'In that case, you also stop taking any kind of help from foreign countries. Stop all your export and import because you have a billion plus indians back home to help your businesses. Don't be a puppet of the government. Accept the criticism and try to overcome it,' added another. A netizen said, 'I think it's better to criticise staying out of India rather bragging or boasting in the name of Indian diaspora living in other countries. Another advantage is, ED and CBI will not come. If NRI says wrong, I too condemn, of course they are not participating in elections.' 'Sir, people in India can't talk against its government, so if someone is doing that from outside, showing mirror we should be glad. It's much better than that howdy lowdy whatever,' added another.

Harsh Goenka to Sabeer Bhatia: India doesn't need sermons from those who packed up and left. We love this country and ...
A sharp exchange unfolded between Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia and billionaire Harsh Goenka recently over the use of the term 'anti-national'. On July 31, 2025, Sabeer Bhatia shared a post criticizing the labeling of truth-telling as "anti-national" in India. 'Say India is unsafe for women - you're anti-national . Question inflated economic numbers - you're anti-national. Call out elected leaders' lies - you're anti-national. Mention lost aircraft - you're anti-national. So if truth = anti-national… then who's a national? The one who lies to you?,' Bhatia wrote in an X post. Now, Harsha Goenka has responded sharply to Bhatia's post, saying 'India doesn't need sermons from those who packed up and left,' questioning his right to comment from abroad. 'Living in California and lecturing a billion Indians back home? We live here. We vote, work, pay taxes. We love this country- and we'll fix what's broken. India doesn't need sermons from those who packed up and left,' Goenka replied to Sabeer Bhatia. Bhatia has, in recent months, stirred debates on social media with his post criticizing India, including the country's education system and it's economic growth. In a post dated June 10, Sabeer Bhatia wrote on X: "Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day [approx. Rs 265/day], you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you." In an NNP podcast interview earlier this year, Bhatia said that instead of creating original thinkers, India is producing an "army of useless kids" who only know how to follow orders. 'We live in a conformist society—people are often told, 'Listen to others, do what they say',' Bhatia then said, further adding 'But why follow a path that's already been walked?'. During the interview, Bhatia said that the Indian education system is wired to produce workers who take 'orders' instead of creating 'visionaries' with the ability to disrupt systems.

Tier 3 and 4 India is Redefining Retail and Luxury
By Sarabjit Singh Puri Until recently, rural and semi-urban India were perceived merely as consumption hinterlands — agricultural belts, service-reliant zones, or labour contributors to urban economies. That narrative is fast changing. Today, Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns are not only retaining their youth but transforming into aspirational markets, entrepreneurial centres, and fast-growing hotspots for premium and luxury brands. The Rise of the Modern Landowner Leading this transformation is a distinct demographic — the modern rural landowner. As per NSSO data, about 30% of rural Indians control nearly 50% of agricultural land. While earlier generations hesitated to diversify beyond agriculture, their successors — educated in top Indian and global institutions, exposed to global trends, and digitally savvy — are steering that legacy in a new direction. From Farmlands to Fashion and Luxury Many of these second- and third-generation landowners, with holdings of over 100 acres, are using their capital and ambition to enter modern retail. From Zudio outlets to franchise businesses and even luxury car showrooms, their ventures are reshaping towns like Hoshiarpur (Punjab) and Satna (Madhya Pradesh). Premium retail, once considered out of reach in such towns, is now not only accessible but thriving. With improving infrastructure and consumer demand, these entrepreneurs see little need to relocate to metros. Instead, they are replicating — and sometimes surpassing — the urban experience back home. Local Workforce, Local Growth Government investments in roads, railways, airports, and digital infrastructure — alongside initiatives like Digital India and Skill India — have given rise to a digitally native, college-educated rural middle class. Many now prefer working in their hometowns in retail ventures launched by local entrepreneurs, government establishments, or banks. This has created a positive feedback loop: youth stay, jobs grow, and local economies flourish. Another force powering this shift is the digitally aware, lower-middle-class rural population. Though not highly educated, they are proficient with smartphones, apps, and online platforms — making them ideal gig workers and frontline staff in these new-age retail ventures. Zudio's growth in towns like Raipur, Ujjain, and Bhilwara owes much to this workforce. Three Key Trends Driving Rural Entrepreneurship New-Age Startups: Educated youth from rural India are launching tech-enabled, hyperlocal ventures — from solar-powered cold storage to regional fashion Traditional Enterprises: Legacy brands like MDH and Haldiram's began in small towns. Today, such businesses are scaling through innovation, digital adoption, and IPOs. In 2024 alone, over 10 SME IPOs came from Tier 3 and 4 belts, according to the for Financial Inclusion: These emerging ventures are accelerating rural formalisation. Be it POS machines, access to credit, or new banking partnerships — small-town entrepreneurs are driving financial inclusion in ways never seen before. The Power of 7,600 Towns India is home to around 7,600 census towns, with over 80% in Tier 3 and 4 categories. Acting as economic hubs for 50–100 surrounding villages, these towns contribute 45–50% of India's national income and will continue to house more than half the population even by 2050. A rural household earning Rs. 25,000 per month in a Tier 3 town may enjoy a better standard of living than someone earning Rs. 60,000 in a metro, thanks to lower living costs, family-owned homes, and more disposable income. Discretionary spending in these towns is rising fast — in some cases, matching or exceeding that of urban India. Cracking the Code: Accessibility, Not Affordability For Urban brands — whether in retail, FMCG, electronics, or luxury — the real challenge in Tier 3 and 4 India is not affordability, but accessibility and insight. Understanding regional nuances, preferences, and behaviour is crucial. That is where rural marketing specialists play a vital role, offering on-ground intelligence that large national agencies often miss. Tapping into these towns is no longer just a marketing option — it is a strategic necessity. Whether a regional beverage brand aiming to go national or a global fashion house expanding into new territories, the next 100 million customers live here. The Next India India's goal of becoming a $10 trillion economy hinges on activating its rural and semi-urban engines of growth. These towns are not the 'rest of India' — they are the next India. From farmlands to fashion stores, and tractors to Teslas, rural India is no longer playing catch-up. It is quietly — and confidently — leading the way. (The author is chairman, Fateh Rural.
