Sabeer Bhatia, the co-founder of Hotmail, is on a short trip to India these days. Bhatia claims that he has been on a lot of podcasts in India, but believes there is an unspoken expectation from him in every Indian podcast.

Taking to X.com, Bhatia opined that such a silent expectation is always there from him when he is invited to the podcasts. He also said that he could easily praise India for its achievements in the last decade; however, he would be lying if he did that, as millions of Indians are frustrated with the overall scheme of things.

On several podcasts, Sabeer has time and again pointed out some of the common issues in the country faced by the common man of India.

He has often spoken about problems like a lack of critical thinking, too much focus on marks and safe jobs, fear of taking risks, and how bureaucracy and copycat culture stop innovation and growth in the country. However, the comment section in all those podcasts has been of criticism of Bhatia.

False Sense of Pride: Sabeer Bhatia

Bhatia also pointed out that the major problems with the countrymen are that there is a sense of false pride. While Bhatia may have spoken the correct thing, he got a lot of flak on Twitter, and most of the Indians blamed Sabeer for a superiority complex.
