Billionaire Harsh Goenka asks people to save 'Rs 600 per day', gets reminded 'most people don't earn 600 per day'
Billionaire Harsh Goenka faced criticism after advising people to save ?600 per day in a tweet promoting small positive habits like reading, walking, and saving. Social media users questioned how the average Indian could save such an amount, which totals ?18,000 per month.
Billionaire & Chairman - RPG Enterprises Harsh Goenka has sparked an online debate with his latest tweet about daily habits, which asked people to save Rs 600 every day. While he wanted to highlight the power of small habits like saving, reading, and walking, many people on social media focused on the financial aspect, asking about the practicality of saving such an amount for an average Indian worker.
The conversation quickly shifted from habits to the challenges faced by those living with less income, with many criticizing Goenka's statement as out of touch with the financial reality of many Indians.

Never underestimate the power of small habits.
Billionaire Harsh Goenka has been criticized for claiming that saving ?600 per day is normal and that those who cannot afford it are not "well paid."
Yesterday, the chairman of RPG Group wrote a tweet on social media site X, advising that people build positive habits by saving ?600, reading 20 pages, and walking 10,000 steps daily. The lesson he sought to convey was: "Never underestimate the power of small habits."
He wrote in his post, "However, a segment of the internet focused on the projected sum rather than the message and asked Mr Goenka how an average Indian could save ?600 per day, which comes up to nearly ?18,000 per month."
