In her post, Ms Gupta also highlighted that any form of "rich list" or "powerful list" will make a person feel as if they are part of the rat race, but the key takeaway from it is that there will always be someone who will have more and "many who have less". "Count the blessings and live the moments," she wrote.
Separately, Ganesh Sonawane, CEO of Frido, expressed grief, stating, "At just 41, he left us due to a heart attack, leaving behind a legacy of innovation in the Indian startup sector.
