Apple is the largest tech company by market value and one of the most beloved brands worldwide. Founded by Steve Jobs, the tech giant boasts a roster of successful entrepreneurs, many of whom come from humble beginnings.
While some individuals spend years studying to secure a top college education, others, like Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, have proven that a degree isn't always necessary for success. Tim Cook, in particular, believes that expanding possibilities matters more than formal education.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, however, sparked controversy when he criticized the Indian education system, stating that Indians lack creativity—a key trait, he said, in bringing something new into existence. He claimed that most Indians focus solely on securing well-paying jobs and that this lack of creativity prevents India from producing tech giants like Google, Facebook, or Apple.
In response to Wozniak’s remarks, Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group and an inspirational figure for millions, delivered a witty rebuttal. Known for his active and engaging presence on social media, Mahindra frequently shares inspiring, humorous, and entertaining posts, and he’s also known for his sharp comebacks.
Reacting to Wozniak's statement, Mahindra tweeted: “I love it when such comments are made. Nothing like a sweeping stereotype to get our juices flowing & prove it wrong. Thanks @stevewoz. Come back soon. We’ll make you sing a different tune.”
His response quickly went viral, showcasing his ability to shut down critics with grace and humor.
