RPG Chairman Harsh Goenka defended Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy amid startup controversies, saying their statements were "directional, not literal." Goenka emphasized India must shift from "ease to effort" to compete globally, focusing on AI, robotics, and clean energy rather than "vegan ice creams and 10-minute deliveries." He argued this mindset change isn't about burnout but building ambitious enterprises. This follows Goyal's criticism of billionaire kids opening cookie businesses while calling themselves startups.
