The internet is full of jokes and memes about Gen Z in the workplace that they are too emotional, too bold, or difficult to manage. Many people from older generations feel confused or even frustrated by their behaviour. But not everyone agrees.
Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt and judge on Shark Tank India, believes Gen Z is not a problem they are a powerful asset. He says they bring fresh thinking, honesty, and courage that older generations never had at their age. According to him, today’s youth are not scared of bosses, not afraid to speak up, and are changing the way companies work.
Aman shared a personal story. “10 years ago, we were scared to stand near our boss’s cabin. Forget asking questions!” But now, he says, even 20-year-old interns at boAt come to him directly. “They call me AG and say, ‘Why are we doing this? Are you sure it’s right?’” he wrote. “They don’t say ‘Yes sir’ unless they mean it. Zero fear, zero filter.”
Gupta explained that Gen Z is not rude, they are just honest. And that honesty is important. “They have what we didn’t: exposure. Gen Z have seen more and faster than what we did. They are watching the world, while we grew up watching Doordarshan,” he joked.
He added, “In our time, you had to run 15 minutes for a Pepsi. Now it comes in one tap and thanks to quick commerce.”

Gupta also revealed that his entire marketing team is under 30. “They don’t work just for salary. They work because they care,” he said. “ Gen Z live freely. They create fearlessly.” He ended with a challenge to other leaders: “Don’t ask how to control this generation. Learn how to work with them and learn from them.”
