While the conversation spanned various themes, a standout segment focused on DPS Faridabad and its role as a breeding ground for talent. Bikhchandani expressed genuine admiration for the city of Faridabad, noting its emerging status as a hotspot for creators and thought leaders.
He pointed to Gupta's own journey and the success of CarryMinati, both DPS Faridabad alumni, as examples of the school's nurturing environment. "But guess what Faridabad rocks - when I asked him if he was the most famous alumnus of his school he told me somewhat sheepishly that Carryminati had been a classmate of his at DPS Faridabad. That is quite remarkable," he added.
"That's quite remarkable actually," Bikhchandani observed that two such prominent figures from the digital world came from the same school - and even shared a classroom.
The conversation reflected the evolving landscape of education and talent development, where institutions like DPS Faridabad play a crucial role in providing a foundation for diverse careers.
