Recently, Wozniak’s statement on Indian education system got viral due to the things he said about Indian culture and lack of creativity in working class of the country. Now, Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra has replied to Wozniak in an interesting way.
Mahindra used his Twitter account to express views on Woz’s thinking about Indians. He wrote “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…”

Twitter users didn’t wait to express their views on Anand’s reply.
I don’t think that mindset is going to change
@anandmahindra I dnt think that mindset is going to change, not in future decades. We are more concerned abt zero day placements and packages and Onsite opportunities. That's a hard reality.

One can clearly see the hint of sarcasm in this reply. Such reply was a need for the youth and who better can do this other than Anand. Woz believes that Indian culture is based on getting academic degrees, cramming in studies, and getting good jobs. According to him, no one thinks creatively here and the main reason for this is the education system in the country. Apple’s co-founder even said that this is the main factor for the employment in India and needs to be solved soon, as a large section of the country is still young and needs some work.
Anand Mahindra has the habit of sharing his thoughts on recent happenings through Twitter. He has even supported many common Indians for doing business by gifting the products made by Mahindra. India needs people like Mahindra because of his broad vision to look at things.
