Harsh Goenka Has Thing For Japan's 'Honest' Culture And This Video Is Proof

The chairman of the RPG group and a conglomerate with diverse business interests, Harsh Vardhan Goenka is known for sharing an array of content on social media. While some of his content is informative and aims to educate people, he often also shares stuff for fun purposes. In a recent one, the business tycoon shared a video, giving a glimpse of how iPhones in Apple stores in Japan are not tied, unlike in India, where the phones are usually tied to the stands and cases across phone stores.

While taking a sly dig at the prevalent practice of shoplifting in India, Goenka further went on to highlight how the practices in Japan’s Apple stores show the finest reflection of the country’s culture.

Taking to his X handle, Goenka shared a video of an Apple store in Japan, where iPhones were kept in a row on the stands. Not just that, customers can easily pick up the phones and check their features personally. “Unlike in every country in the world, iPhones in Apple stores in Japan are not tied (as they know that no one will steal it) – isn’t that the finest reflection of the culture of Japan?” he wrote.

Reacting to the video, many took to the comment section and shared similar views. Some also shared their own experiences inside mobile stores in foreign countries. A user wrote, “It’s not because of thieves, but because these phones are SIM locked” while another one wrote, “So, it shows that our culture in India needs to be more harmonious. When people are honest, it builds strong relationships and creates a sense of reliability. Honesty promotes accountability and ethical behavior, which are crucial for a harmonious society.”

“But I went to USA in the month of July this year looks they are not tied there too and I went to iPhone showroom in providence city of Rhode Island,” a third user commented while a fourth one wrote, “This is the what I discovered too during my visit there – was super surprised how people have so much trust and honesty when it comes to their daily pursuit of life.”

The video has so far gained over 75.1K views followed by more than 1,000 likes and several comments.
