‘Shark Tank India’ judge Aman Gupta on working with Gen Z: They are not the ones to say, ‘yes, sir;’ they question, ‘why, sir?’ |

‘Shark Tank India’ judge Aman Gupta has always been loved for his straightforward attitude. If he sees potential in something or someone, he would go against the judgment of others and stand by the pitch. And his recent podcast confession confirms that Aman Gupta sees high potential in Gen Z. In a world where Gen Z methods and work ethics are often questioned, Aman Gupta says this generation has a different way of thinking. and they might not have the experience, but have exposure.

GenZ is creating history

“14-year-old kids are making history by building a business at the age of 18, and we are studying history. I think these young guys are very smart,” said Aman during his conversation with Prakhar Gupta. Sharing anecdotes from his personal experiences, he added, “I work with a lot of Gen Zs and young people in our company. Their thinking is different. You can’t restrict them. We didn’t have much knowledge. They know the world very well. They have instant access.” He added a hilarious but relatable example to prove his point, “Earlier, our mom used to slap us and tell us, and get Pepsi; and we used to. Now click off a button, and it’s all done.”

This is not a ‘Yes Boss’ generation

“This is not the generation that used to say, the boss is always right. They are not the ones to say, yes, sir; they question, why, sir? Why should we do it? It’s a different generation,” he continued, and further added, “They don’t only work for money. They enjoy working, but more than that, they enjoy sharing experiences with their friends.” “We didn’t have much risk-taking ability. These people take risks. They may not have the experience, but they have the exposure. The question should not be how do you manage them, the question should be, how do you grow with them,” concluded the ‘Shark Tank’ investor Aman Gupta.
