Internal mail exchange involving an unconventional email from an intern shared by the Indian founder, sparking discussions among online users who suggest that the founder should be "promoted" for his handling of the situation.
In an unexpected turn of events, a college intern's first email to Roshan Patel, the founder and CEO of fintech firm Arrow Payments, has taken the internet by storm. The 22-word email, which suggested a possible strategy to increase revenue, was posted by Patel on social media platform X for the world to see and comment on.
The email, delivered with confidence and directness, quickly garnered over 6.9 million views and countless retweets. The internet responded with a mix of humor and half-serious commentary, praising the intern's straightforwardness and business instinct. Some users humorously suggested firing the intern, while others called for his immediate promotion, highlighting his sharp understanding of business priorities.
One user even predicted the intern's future career in private equity, while another praised his business acumen, stating he understands the bottom line. However, not everyone was pleased with Patel's decision to share the email publicly. One user criticized the move, expressing disapproval of sharing company matters on a social media platform.
Despite some criticism, the incident reflects both Patel’s positive attitude toward fresh ideas—no matter how simply expressed—and the internet’s appreciation for direct, no-nonsense approaches in the corporate world. Arrow Payments has not revealed any internal actions following the email, but the public sharing and viral reaction itself represent the firm's notable response.
The intern, who remains unnamed, was also described as having leadership qualities by another user, and was referred to as a "business genius in beta" by another. This incident serves as a reminder that fresh perspectives and bold ideas can make a significant impact, even in the early stages of a career.
