I think one of the biggest things holding India back is our fear of failure. We’re taught to fear it from the time we’re young. Students are pushed to breaking point because failing an exam feels like the end of the world. We stay in marriages everyone knows aren’t working because leaving feels like failure. People stay in jobs they hate because they’re terrified they won’t find another one. We’ve built a society where the shame of failing often feels worse than the cost of staying stuck. And to be fair to us, it comes from generations of scarcity. Too many people, too few opportunities. When survival is the priority, taking risks feels like a luxury. But you cannot build a great country if its people are terrified of getting things wrong. We don’t just need more ambition. We need to become a country where failure isn’t a life sentence. And maybe that’s starts small, with how we react to our kids or people around us, when they fail.
