Paytm CEO's address triggers mixed responses on Social Media

Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma's address at the company's annual party is the latest talk of the social media town

The Paytm CEO, understandably has been celebrating the skyrocketing business of his company post demonetization, something that has seen Paytm become synonymous with mobile wallets, much like Colgate is to toothpaste in India.

There is a certain moral code that applies to all of us, regardless of the social strata that we belong to, and the higher we climb, the stricter it gets. Now it is true that some societal restrictions are arbitrary and ancient, some even illogical, but when it concerns decency the definitions hardly vary among people.

Now interpret the following however you may, arrogance or joy, indecent or just happy, the video managed to catch the attention of social media users, many who questioned Vijay Shekhar’s behavior and some asking to just let the man celebrate.

Let us take a look at some of the social media reactions, positive and negative.

Here are some who spoke in support of Vijay Shekhar.

1. Makes sense.

Who died & put you in charge of how @vijayshekhar should conduct himself at a @Paytm party? His audience is his staff, not you. Thanks.

2. 5 tweets......and he does have a fair point.

3. I find myself leaning towards this side of the argument now..

Quite funny to hear people talk about success and arrogance and taking digs ?? Just shows most have not worked in a competitive environment

4. This guy only believes in facts. 

Watched that PayTM annual party whr @vijayshekhar invokes his staff. I don't think there was any exaggeration. Truth every word

5. The way all CEOs should address their employees? Not so sure.

6. We guess this is a positive comment...

7. It was a private party though.

8. Comparisons between Paytm CEO and Steve Ballmer are not even a bad thing!

9. But those dance moves?

Saw the Paytm part's video of @vijayshekhar & there wasn't anything offensive. A CEO was just boosting the morales of his employee!

10. *breaks into a nervous November sweat* *checks wallet for cash*

I'm not a fan of crude language, but unki party, unka CEO, unka high... tum sab Paytm karo aur chalte bano. https://t.co/iqOH3CyOm0

And here are some people who do not share the same opinion.

1. Those who are not with you, did not really have much a choice right?

2. That's an interesting comparison.

Presenting to you, the Wolf of Dalal Street. Crude, Rude and Lewd. Sigh. #Paytm #VijayShekhar https://t.co/XgkeH1LWKS

3. Iss tweet ke baare me aapka kya khayal hai? Kya Paytm CEO sacchmuch ghamandi hai ??

4. This is just a translation of the above tweet!

5. Hey! Don't call it shitty until the ATMs start working regularly

@swarajkumar224 Not just that. For a company that produces shitty product @Paytm CEO acts as if he is Elon Musk or invented cure for cancer!

— Soul Reaver (@SoulReaver1982) January 18, 2017

6. How many of us have woken up to realize we did something like that?

@vijayshekhar uhm..after your party video I'm guessing a lot of people at @Paytm are embarrassed eh. Not exactly CEO behavior,

— Abhay Parameswar (@ursregr8fully) January 18, 2017

7. I don't think the CEO's behavior at a party affects the product.

Yeah I'm quite concerned about using @Paytm now. CEO acting like a buffoon can't instill much confidence in customers or investors. https://t.co/17SKRTa65Q

8. Maybe he said "Open sesame!"

9. Allowed? 

10. That's luck, and it has made men billionaires overnight. A lot of them.
