As a North Indian, I’ve observed several things that stand out about the South. It’s cleaner, people are more respectful, law abiding, less combative and also more economically prosperous. The South also produces more CEOs and business leaders. Do you agree? And if so, why?

What is “north” in your point of view ? You think Mumbai is in the north or south? What about Kolkata ? What about Nagaland ? Is that north for this comparison ? Did you know Sikkim is highest when it comes to HDI?

You think people from Himachal are rude ? You think Chennai is cleaner than Chandigarh? Did you know that Gurgaon has the highest HDI in the entire country when it comes to cities ? Punjab and Haryana rank above Telangana and Karnataka on development metrics

What about business metrics ? What states have the most startups ? Or your point of reference is basically the American CEOs of Indian origin ?

Let’s be specific, much easier to draw lines as north and south if you are ignoring the massive diversity between states, cities. As a “north indian” is as correct as saying “as an African” and go on to talk about Nigeria. Making a data based argument is underrated

Not really sure whether CEO and leadership positions hold up in India for South Indians. I do not know the situation now, but growing up, I thought North Indians were more successful in businesses , and were in high profile government positions.

Generally noticed that majority of the high profile CEOs and business leaders in western world, and Indian research organizations are dominated by southern people. Not sure about the business leaders in India though, except maybe companies like tcs or infosys or one of the IT services firms.

As a South Indian who’s spent time in the North, I don’t think the broad generalization is valid.

“It is possible” that there are more remote regions in central India or in the northeast where development may have been a tad slower. But in general, in towns and cities, the facilities are similar, the access to quality education is similar, people’s ambitions and desires are similar and their success and failures are similar.

I do not think any one region is better or worse in any significant way than the others.

I just want to say to the Indian managers / SMs etc. stop taking everything so seriously and stressing people out on your teams. I have had managers who put initiative work so high in importance that it stresses me out about client work. Chill out and stop emailing on weekends. Hang out with your families! Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!
