2 CEOs vs 2 Gen Zs | The Bridge S1E3: Is Organisational Loyalty Overrated?

The BarberShop with Shantanu

Is organisational loyalty outdated, or are we asking the wrong questions?

This week, on the latest episode of ‘The Bridge’, Shantanu engages in a thought-provoking discussion with leaders from both sides of the generational spectrum.

On the one hand, Aseem Dhru (MD & CEO at SBFC Finance Ltd.) and Luis Miranda (Former Bank Treasurer at HDFC and Ex-CEO at IDFC) share valuable insights on why internal promotions, career patience, and organisational commitment remain the bedrock of professional success.

On the other hand, Ishaan Gulati (Chief of Staff to CEO at Rebel Food) and Arshi Gupta (Senior Associate, Investments at Singularity AMC), the Gen Z voices, reflect on how they view career progression with their fast-moving approach to work and the gig economy.

Tune in for a raw, honest conversation about:

- Why does career patience and internal promotions still matter?

- The unspoken pressure of choosing the “dream career”.

- How Gen Z’s approach to job hopping is reshaping workplace norms.

For those eager to understand what’s driving these shifts, this latest episode provides all your answers. Tune in and share your thoughts in the comments.
