world there was a young engineer

In the tech world there was a young engineer named Anil who had a brilliant idea for a new app. Anil knew the ins and outs of coding but was inexperienced in marketing and user experience design. So he reached out to his college friends Sneha and Karan who were experts in these fields. Together they spent countless hours perfecting the app.

When the app was finally launched it was a hit. The media quickly caught wind of the success story and wanted to know more. Anil being the original idea’s owner was the one interviewed. He spoke about the challenges the late nights and the eureka moments. But he hardly mentioned Sneha and Karan. They felt sidelined as if their contributions had been overshadowed by Anil’s desire to be seen as the sole genius behind the invention.

In this episode we see how easy it is to overshadow the contributions of others when success comes. Anil’s failure to acknowledge his team not only hurt his relationships with Sneha and Karan but also made them wary of working with him in the future. Recognition should be shared to foster a collaborative spirit.
