What nonsense is this @anandmahindra 🤷♂️ Stop sensationalizing the failures of Indian Gov where it cant give a Job to a PHD holder & is now has to earn by a food stall. Will you have your son/daughter do a MBA & then ask them to put a Thella ? Then why sensationalizing it ?

No offense, this is not a great video. It's great he's working, but a PhD should use his skills in research, not just selling food. We've failed to provide him a setting where he can truly apply his education.

YES he is selling food, YES may be the system has let him down, YES such talented individuals should get what they deserve...........BUT the best thing is the PRIDE with which Rayan is handling the situation.

Romanticism of people's hardship in the name of nationalism🙄

It's a shame @anandmahindra celebrates poverty porn instead of asking the government to give reasonable stripends to its researcher.

That moment shows the real beauty of India—hard work, humility, and intelligence all together. A person doing important research but still running a food stall with pride. It’s a reminder that success isn’t just about big titles, but about doing everything with passion. Incredible. Unique. Truly Indian.

This story showcases the incredible resilience of Indians. A PhD candidate running a food stall part-time and proudly sharing his research instead of social media praise speaks volumes about dedication. Truly embodies the spirit of hard work and excellence!

This is not something to take pride in, Anand. I ensure I carefully reflect before posting anything that praises a broken system or capitalizes on someone's hardships.

Rayan is exactly what Indians need to develop. Even if the system is so slow and sometimes works against you, you don't allow it to dictate your terms of living. Instead of complaining, he simply sets his cart, sells food, and prepares for his PhD.

😏This is 'Proud' in new India!
