  2. Thank you to so many friends who dropped me a message just to make sure I was okay. Means a lot. Genuinely.
  3. To those who sent nasty 'your son is a slave owner' messages to my parents and thousands like those - You won.”
  The clarification and apology followed a LinkedIn post Deshpande had shared on August 30 in which he advised young professionals to devote 18 hours a day to their jobs. “When you are 22 and new in your job, throw yourself into it. Eat well and stay fit, but put in the 18-hour days for at least 4-5 years,” his post read.
