PICTURE NOT PERFECT Apart from the many lessons that entrepreneurs can learn from this Paytm episode, the most important one is to not shed happy tears at the IPO. Because the media will use it for sad occasions too for the rest of your life! Every newspaper is using this picture to showcase this news. Very telling of our fourth estate, to kick someone when they are already down and out! #media #business

Arpita Khadria the Paytm narrative serves as a stark reminder of the volatility in the entrepreneurial landscape. Amidst the regulatory storms and market shifts, a leader's composure is often captured as a moment of vulnerability. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that such images, while powerful, are mere snapshots and not the full story. The resilience of a company and its leadership is measured by their response to adversity and their ability to pivot and persevere. It is in the crucible of public scrutiny that true business mettle is forged.

The portrayal of leaders in times of adversity indeed captures only a fraction of their journey. It's in their resilience and response to challenges that true mettle is revealed.
