India's Workplaces: A Shift Away From Meritocracy?

Imagine a company where the boss is more worried about looking good than finding the best people.

Instead of hiring the smartest and most skilled employees, they might choose people who agree with them and don't challenge them.

This can lead to a workplace where things aren't done as well as they could be.

The author thinks this is happening in India, where sometimes, who you know is more important than what you know.

The author says that this is not good for the country's future, as it needs talented people to grow and succeed.

The author calls for a shift towards a system where skill and hard work are celebrated and rewarded, so the company can reach its potential.
