Harsh Goenka's Lessons From Final

Reactions and congratulations have poured in since the victory. RPG Group's Harsh Goenka was one of the first from the world of India Inc. to welcome the team's victory against the Blackcaps.

While he congratulated the team with a couple of posts, in another post, Goenka explored what the business world could learn from this victory.

Drawing business analogies of various kinds, comparing it to the current Indian team, Goenka shared his interpretation of the victory.

In his X post, Goenka said, "India’s Champions Trophy victory is not just a win—it’s a statement. In a tournament where the best in the world competed, we remained undefeated, dominant, and unshaken."

The Indian team that emerged triumphant reminded Goenka of a well-oiled conglomerate.

The billionaire compared the team skipper Rohit Sharma to a company chairman. In his post, he said, "Rohit Sharma was the visionary chairman, setting the tone with explosive starts."

He went further down the rungs of the comparative corporate ladder. "Virat Kohli played the seasoned CEO, guiding the chase with calm authority. Gill and Shreyas were the rising stars, fueling momentum, while KL Rahul ensured the perfect finish, much like a reliable CFO balancing the books.", he added.

Ruthless Efficiency

It is to be noted that even in the final match, KL Rahul did indeed steady the ship to reign in on the mini-collapse during the match.

Then Goenka moved onto the bowlers of the team, and he said, "But a company is only as strong as its foundation, and here is where our bowlers played their part to perfection. If the pacers like Shami kept things tight, the spinners—especially Varun Chakravarthy—turned the tide with ruthless efficiency, much like our regulator SEBI keeping rogue elements in check. The opposition was left tangled in a web of mystery spin, more confused than a start-up trying to decode new tax laws."

Collective Force

He concluded the post by saying, "The most remarkable aspect of this campaign? Every single player contributed. There were no weak links, no dependencies on individual brilliance—just a collective force moving like a well-oiled machine."

"This is the India of today—resilient, strategic, and relentless in its pursuit of excellence. In a world where disruptions are the norm, this team showed what it means to be consistently dominant, delivering results when it matters the most."

"The stock market may rise and fall, but Indian cricket remains on an unstoppable bull run. The Champions Trophy is back where it belongs."

This victory was India's second big trophy after winning the ICC T20 trophy in 2024.
