Oyo CEO Ritesh Agarwal opens up on GenZ vs Millennial debate online: ‘Both are right about the world they inherited…'
Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of hospitality chain OYO Rooms has shared his thoughts on the 'GenZ in the workplace' debate. In a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Agarwal pointed out that there is a difference in how GenZ and Millennial engage in the workplace, but added that it is not necessarily a 'clash', but a 'relay' or 'handing of the baton'. In a humourous post on X, with the video titled 'Asked my Genz intern to edit a video and this is what she sent me', Ritesh Agarwal noted, 'Gen Z treats the internet like a buffet—taste everything, move fast, no FOMO. Millennials are more fine-dining; they read the menu, ask the chef, and savour the story.' He however was of the opinion that neither one is wrong in their approach, stating, 'Honestly, both are right about the world they inherited. Gen Z's pace isn't shallow; it's survival in an attention economy that never blinks. Millennials' depth isn't slow; it's a protest for meaning.' 'One generation translates chaos into culture; the other translates culture into clarity. I don't see a clash; I see a relay. Speed hands the baton to substance. The timeline may be noisy, but the thesis is clear: energy finds form,' he added. Agarwal's views come at a time when social media is flush with either appreciation for or dread over GenZ work culture. Earlier today, a likely Gen Z's reply to her manager, who asked her to reach the office despite heavy traffic, has become the talk of the town, with one netizen hilariously pointing out that it left the 'manager in deep pain'. While age was not confirmed, the user who posted the screenshot of the entire chat, captioned it as 'GenZ workforce.' According to the screenshot of a chat posted on X, the employee had informed that she will not be able to reach office because of traffic. Her manager, however replied that the employee needed to be in office, even if it gets late and received a two-worded response: 'Not possible.' The screenshot of the chat garnered over one lakh views, leaving netizens in splits. And earlier this year, a millennial boss, highlighted the challenges associated with managing a team—stuck between the expectations of senior management and the evolving demands of younger employees. In a viral social media post on LinkedIn, Mayank Sharma, founder of a Gurgaon-based HR firm, outlined the contrasts between an old-school leadership that insists on long hours, daily office attendance, and a formal dress code vs the younger workforce, which prioritises flexibility, work-life balance, and a casual dress code. He added: 'Funny thing is, in the process of keeping a good balance, you often end up disappointing both parties.'

Anupam Mittal on ban on real money games: Hope we're not trying to out-ban China and ...
Anupam Mittal Anupam Mittal , the founder and CEO of parent People Group, has criticised India's ban on real-money games. In a post shared on professional networking site LinkedIn, the Shark Tank judge called the government's proposal " moral policing dressed up as policy." He warned that the decision could cost the government billions in tax revenue and push users toward black market alternatives. Mittal argued that the ban is counterproductive, comparing it to the ineffective prohibition on products like gutka. He noted that the real-money gaming sector generates significant revenue, including Rs 27,000 crore in GST and Rs 10,000 crore in advertising, while providing legitimate livelihoods. He questioned why the government would ban a whole industry due to the risks of addiction and financial harm, while other risky activities like stock trading and alcohol remain legal. The investor cautioned that the government loses revenue, and users lose protection when such bans are implemented, leading to the rise of black markets. He concluded his post by saying, "Hope we're not trying to out-ban China," suggesting that the government is exercising excessive control.

In one shot, we killed a sector that - pumped in ₹27,000 cr of GST annually - drove ₹10,000 cr+ of ad revenue - gave thousands a legit livelihood in games of skill Why? Because many got addicted. Some went broke. Fair concerns but do we ban alcohol because some become alcoholics? Do we ban stock trading because some blow up their savings? Most bans usually have the same outcome 👇 👉 Govt loses revenue 👉 Users lose protection 👉 Black markets win (reportedly 8.3 lakh crore illegal gaming market in India 😱) Short term, this feels like we've shot ourselves in the foot. Long term, hopefully it allows real gaming & e-sports to emerge as one of the largest globally. But let's be honest, right now it looks like moral policing dressed up as policy. Hope we're not trying to out-ban China 😉' WhatsApp Makes Group Calls Smarter AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

MBA= Master Of Bluff Administration? LinkedIn User's Fake Harvard Degree Sparks Backlash
A LinkedIn user faked a Harvard MBA for fun, sparking debate after recruiters praised his profile. SMB Attorney warned against such deception, citing legal and career risks. News18 A LinkedIn user faked a Harvard MBA on his profile 'just for fun" and shared the experiment online, triggering widespread debate. According to his post, the false credentials immediately enhanced his credibility with recruiters and professional contacts. However, the stunt drew sharp criticism from lawyer SMB Attorney, who cautioned against such deceptive practices. 'Master's degrees are useless. I gave myself one on LinkedIn just for fun (there's no verification process). Since adding this to my profile, the DMs have been flowing in. Every other message mentions how 'impressive" my academic background is. So instead of spending $100K+ and wasting years of your life on a degree, just add it to your LinkedIn. No one checks. No one questions. Fake it till you make it has never been easier," the LinkedIn user wrote. Guys, do not do this. And, yes, this is legal advice. — SMB Attorney (@SMB_Attorney) August 18, 2025 The post sparked debate, with some users labelling it foolish and potentially harmful to one's career, while others found the stunt amusing. One commenter highlighted that detailed background checks can expose falsified credentials and warned that such dishonesty can lead to serious repercussions. A few users drew parallels with the TV show Suits, sharing stories of fictional characters facing consequences for similar deception. Others weighed in on the legal aspects, with one user pointing out that while misrepresenting information on LinkedIn or a resume may not be illegal, fabricating credentials is. One user wrote, 'Why did bro snitch on himself. That's like Mike Ross walking into the Prosecutor's office, turning on a loudspeaker and saying he successfully frauded his way to the top." 'Why just a masters when you can give yourself a doctorate? Seriously, guys, don't undersell yourself," added the other. A third noted, 'As a person who has hired quite a few people, Background checking is a thing. Sterling will check every single credential and job in your history. Making a mistake by a month or two on a job timeline is one thing, but substantially lying about your credentials is foolish." 'I used to do a lot of interviews. Many respondents were Indians, and most had fake degrees and job histories. Based on how many HR hired, I would say that they get away with it just fine," added the other. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
