In a viral video from an Indian corporate office, a group of employees was seen dancing to welcome a foreign client of the company. The video featured a group of women and one man dancing to a Telugu song called “Killi Killi,” followed by a solo performance by a man dancing to “Main Tera Boyfriend,” a widely infamous Bollywood song.
The media debate continued, with many questioning the ethics and professionalism of workplace culture in Indian offices. One user on X commented, “India should stop the chaprification of corporate offices. It’s so pathetic to see Indian girls dancing in the office to welcome a foreign client, and the bechara client being forced to dance too.”
The argument further suggested that such acts undermine the seriousness of Indian work culture in the eyes of global partners. Another person tweeted that Indian offices need to be seen as competent, professional, and globally competitive.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, some users commented that as long as the employees are happy, it shouldn’t matter. One person even wrote, “Paise ke liye kya kya karna padta hai” (The things people do for money), while others joked, “What if the client takes the project back?”
Several people online reacted negatively to the video, saying that Indians should stop treating Europeans like gods. They felt that such over-the-top welcomes in offices make us look less serious and give the wrong message about our work culture. Some also said it shows an unnecessary need to impress foreigners, which can seem uncomfortable or forced.
Many others supported the gesture. They said it reflects India’s traditional value of Atithi Devo Bhavah, which means “The guest is God.” Supporters felt the dance was simply a way to show warmth and hospitality. One user even commented that similar things happen in many countries, just in different forms. People also said that such gestures can help break the ice and make guests feel more comfortable, especially if they are visiting a new country or company for the first time. They believed it was more about showing kindness and culture than trying to please someone.
In conclusion, the video has elicited diverse opinions on how Indian workplaces should strike a balance between tradition and professionalism. Some people believe that such acts can make Indian offices seem less serious to global clients. Others feel it is a genuine way to show warmth, respect, and cultural pride. The truth may be somewhere in between. It is essential to maintain professionalism, but it is also important to uphold values like hospitality and kindness. This moment shows that as India continues to grow in the global business world, there is a need to blend culture with a professional image carefully.
