'We Don't Grade Our Friends', Internet Is Displeased With CRED Founder Kunal Shah's 'Mediocre' Remark

CRED CEO Kunal Shah has been facing the internet¡¯s wrath for his views. While his tweet on how Engineers could take over Doctors¡¯ jobs has irked many professionals, another tweet on ¡®mediocre¡¯ people has led to people bashing him left, right and center.

Taking to X, Kunal Shah, in his post, wrote, "Mediocre people often have a clear tell: you'll often see them hanging out with other mediocre people, probably because the A+ folks avoid them."

While family connections are inherited, friendships are the ones we consciously choose. Regardless of their origins, beliefs, or social standing, our friends hold a significant place in our lives.

Mediocre people often have a clear tell: you¡¯ll often see them hanging out with other mediocre people, probably because the A+ folks avoid them.

Many have pointed out just that. Some have even called him a ¡®mediocre¡¯ founder of a startup. Another section of the commentators have voiced their agreement with his opinion.

Shah¡¯s Statement Has Amassed Mix Reactions From The Internet

An individual wrote, "Somewhere out there, there are people just living their lives - making friends, falling in love, raising kids, and having...fun. And then there are people like this, deep diving into capitalistic hell without being able to enjoy simple things like "hanging out" without evaluation. Live a little, Kunal, and think a little less, perhaps.

An incredibly full life can be lived by both a mediocre, an A+ person, and every type of stupid definition in between."

A second user added, "Doesn't correlate with real life for me ¡ª people hang out more based on their value systems than anything else and within that, they might seek folks at their level ( A or D-) for a particular thing they are doing. I hope I don't personally blanket label people at A+ or D- and explore everyone for what they are/bring. Besides supposedly a+ people by some definition, maybe total douchebags are often true and are best avoided."

"You don't know if someone is mediocre or A+ until you see their character during wartime. Everything else is just superficial judgement and utterly useless," commented another.

A user chimed in, ¡°Sir some of us don¡¯t assign grades to our friends.¡±

¡°It's funny to see "you" writing this, who himself is the most known mediocre start-up founder of India,¡± read another comment.

Let me tell you something which you may not know; your name is used as a joke and example outside India while discussing copy-paste start-ups or the mediocrity of start-ups.

Even Celebrity photographer Joseph Radhik joined the conversation, highlighting the joy of simple life pleasures and told Shah to live a little. He said, ¡°Somewhere out there, there are people just living their lives ¨C making friends, falling in love, raising kids, and having¡­fun. And then there are people like this, deep diving into capitalistic hell without being able to enjoy simple things like ¡®hanging out¡¯ without evaluation.
