Stop building houses for your children: Gurgaon CEO says Indian parents are solving the wrong problem

A Gurgaon-based founder has urged Indian parents to rethink the long-standing idea of building homes for their children, calling it a misplaced priority. Drawing from personal experience, he explained how houses built with decades of savings often end up empty as children move to different cities or countries for better opportunities. He highlighted the contradiction between encouraging children to grow and expecting them to return to the same home.
