KoyalAI CEO Mehul Agarwal shared a social media post of priding on how his sister and co-founder, Gauri Agarwal, fixed a critical software bug in the midst of her wedding.
“This is my sister and co-founder at her own wedding, 10 minutes after the ceremony, fixing a critical bug at KoyalAI,” his X post read, showing his beaming sister, draped in a traditional red and gold lehenga, seated next to her husband.
The moment was unplanned, he says, adding, “People romanticise startups but it is a lot of work.”
He concluded the post by crediting such moments of dedication for the company’s success, saying, “When people ask why we won, I’ll point to this.”
The post has drawn mixed reactions. While some praised Mehul and Gauri’s work ethic, many flagged concerns about work-life balance and burnout.
One user said, “No wonder I love the tool. Founders are locked in. Congrats!” another said, “love the hustle bro (and sis, haha) do remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint!”
One user said, “Don’t marry”, while another said, “this is not something to be proud of.”
Another said, “Speaks volumes about her ability to delegate and her time management skills. Or she just wants to show off in this social media era which is just so sad and pathetic. People should hesitate before approaching such a sibling duo with work.”
To top it all, the brother posted another post saying his sister is “taking meetings 3 hours a day while in her honeymoon.”
