IIM Alumnus Posts About Cardiac Scare, Redditors Slam Him For "Hospital Selfie"
An Indian CEO's emotional social media post about his recent health scare is doing rounds online, but not just for the message he intended. In his post, Harsh Macwan, an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, shared that he recently "came dangerously close to something" that he never expected. While sharing an image of himself lying on a hospital bed, he described the near-cardiac event that turned his life upside down. "It started with a sharp, crushing pressure in my chest. My left arm went numb. I was breathless, sweating, and disoriented. Within minutes, I was rushed to the hospital," he wrote. "What followed were 5 days of ECGs, cardiac enzymes, 2 days of oxygen lines, and constant monitoring," Mr Macwan said. He continued with a message for the young founders, adding, "Your heart isn't a machine. No startup, no client, no ambition is worth your life."

Harsh Macwan , an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, recently took to LinkedIn with a raw, emotional post about a near-cardiac event that turned his high-achieving life on its head. The image of a hospitalised Macwan, resting on a hospital bed, is now doing the rounds online — but not just for the message he described the terrifying experience: chest pain, numbness in his arm, disorientation — all signs pointing to a potential heart attack. Harsh shared that he had always been someone who pushed through deadlines, fatigue, and stress, but this time, his body reached a breaking point and forced him to urged fellow founders and professionals to slow down, unplug, and listen to their bodies, reminding them that their heart isn't a machine and no startup or ambition is worth their life. Now on the road to recovery, he shared that what he's truly grateful for isn't another funding round, but simply breath, family, and responded with warmth and concern, urging him to take care and get proper rest. Many sent good vibes and well wishes for his recovery. Meanwhile, the tone on Reddit was starkly different, with many users criticising the performative aspect of the post. Some questioned the need for a hospital selfie, while others mocked the dramatic phrasing, calling it typical of LinkedIn 'influencer speak.' The sentiment ranged from skepticism to satire, with users implying it felt more like a personal branding exercise than a genuine health update.
