CRED founder and angel investor Kunal Shah recently shared an interesting insight about doing business. Criticizing the young generation for continuously “consuming” content without trying to acquire any “real” knowledge he said, “Entrepreneurship is like swimming. You can’t learn swimming online.”
Shah reacts to knowledge-based content
With a growing trend of podcasts and knowledge-based content, the Indian entrepreneur sharply remarked that these days young aspiring entrepreneurs waste time watching reality TV or listening to podcasts when they should focus on “building or selling”. According to him, until you are in the field you can’t learn anything about it.
In a recent LinkedIn post, Shah wrote, “I see aspiring entrepreneurs often wasting time consuming content, podcasts, reality TV instead of building or selling, where real learning happens.”

Several entrepreneurs supported the fintech company boss.
One wrote, “Entrepreneurship really is like swimming—you can’t just read about it, you have to dive in.”
Another individual commented, ‘Insightful perspective! Practical experience truly is the best teacher in entrepreneurship. Let's focus on action and growth.”
Someone else remarked, “We're actually busy doing kitty parties” followed by a laughing emoji.
Still another person said, “True that. Get out there and be a part of this game.”
