Here’s why billionaire Harsh Goenka wants you to save Rs 600 daily
Harsh Goenka has come under fire for suggesting that Rs 600 is a reasonable amount of money to save on a daily basis. The Chairman of RPG Group, who often shares tips and insights on life, business, and money-making on his X handle, penned a post on the importance of cultivating good habits. “Saving Rs 600 per day = Rs 2,19,000 per year. Reading 20 pages per day = 30 books per year. Walking 10,000 steps per day = 70 marathons per year..Never underestimate the power of small habits,” read his tweet. While some netizens appreciated the message, some were far from amused.

A portion of the internet fixated on the suggested daily savings figure rather than the core message, directing their questions to Mr. Goenka about how an ordinary Indian could manage to save Rs 600 each day, which totals approximately Rs 18,000 per month. One user on X highlighted, «90% of Indians don't even make Rs 600 daily (post-tax), so how can there be any talk of saving?»
Corporate workers were quick to reject the suggestion. HK Maheshwari, in response to Harsh Goenka’s remark, pointedly said, «Try telling that to a laborer who has to feed a family of four on a daily wage of Rs. 600-700.»
Numerous social media users accused Harsh Goenka of being out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people. Some even raised concerns about the wages paid to his own employees, with comments like, «Sir, you should look into what your CEAT employees are earning!»
