Indian CEO says taking his kids on business class was a wrong decision: 'Next trip, they'll fly economy'
A Noida-based CEO shared why he won't be flying business class with his children again. The founder and CEO of YesMadam, Mayank Arya, wrote about a recent trip where he took his kids in business class for the first time. He thought it would be a nice, premium experience for them, but soon realised it wasn't the right choice. A Noida CEO's candid post about flying business class with his kids grabs attention.(Screengrab LinkedIn/@Mayank Arya) In his post on LinkedIn, Arya said the seats were spacious, the meals were better and everything felt luxurious. But something was missing: warmth and togetherness. "As a father, it's not just about giving your kids comfort. It's about giving them the right values," he said. The post went viral for its honest message about parenting and values. Many parents said they understood and felt the same. Since the seats were far apart, they couldn't sit close, play games, or enjoy small moments like asking, 'Papa, how much longer?' every few minutes. "Struggle bhi dikhani hai, aspiration bhi jagani hai. Business class tabhi jab woh khud afford karein. (We have to show them the struggle and instil the aspiration. Business class only when they can afford it by themselves). Not just because Papa could," he further added. Check out the post here: Here's how people reacted to this post: Many people praised the CEO for his honest and thoughtful post. Some said it made them think about their family trips and how small moments matter more than comfort. One of the users, @Kunal Garg, commented, 'Not everything premium is better. Sometimes it's just… distant.' A second user, @Siddharth Oswal, commented, 'Couldn't agree more! Been there, done that—and honestly, the real fun (and bonding) is in economy. Leg space kam hota hai, par heart space zyada.' Another user, @Rijul Udaypure, commented, 'The best part of travel is togetherness- this reminds us why.' Other users called it the best parenting insight they'd seen in a while.

YesMadam turns everyday wellness into meaningful moments
YesMadam is a startup that's quietly changing the way people think about beauty and wellness. Started in 2016 by brothers Aditya and Mayank Arya, the company was built on a simple idea: why not bring salon and wellness services directly to people's homes, where they feel most comfortable? Over time, this idea has grown into a trusted platform that now operates in more than 55 Indian cities. They aim to give people access to the kind of care they would expect from a premium salon, but in the comfort of their own homes. But what makes YesMadam stand out isn't just convenience — it's how personal their approach feels. One example that recently caught attention was a small birthday surprise planned by a customer named Samarth. He didn't want a big party or flashy lights; he simply wanted to gift his friend a peaceful home spa session. When the YesMadam team heard his story, they went beyond the request. Along with the beautician, they sent a guitarist who played her favourite song, added a cake, a thoughtful gift hamper, and a handwritten note. The entire experience was warm and unexpected. When the video of the moment was shared online, it touched thousands of people who saw in it something real — a reminder of what care really looks like. This kind of story shows what YesMadam is trying to build. It's not just about beauty services; it's about creating space for comfort, connection, and care. Elderly people, new mothers, those recovering from illness, or simply too busy to step out now have access to self-care without having to leave home. It saves time, avoids crowded places, and makes regular wellness routines easier to stick to. At a time when everything feels fast and impersonal, YesMadam is offering something different: a chance to slow down and bring a little bit of calm and relaxation right into your living room.
