Soon after his post, many users began reacting in the comments section.

These days Everyone wants everything in a flashlight, leading towards the insynchronisation of the team which leads the failure.” Another commented, “Great analogy for teamwork and fostering new ideas. Always look at gaps in your solution to reach the goal.”
“Brilliant moves… patience and waiting then followed by spotting the right opportunity to score beautifully shown.. a good business school educational video…,” a user wrote.

Maybe some for the Mahindra delivery line would help”
