Reed Hastings (CEO of Netflix) on why the 'company is a family' concept is false

@Advaidism Nehru and Bose were very close friends. From his letters to Bose we can understand how much regard they had for one another. He was there helping Kamala Nehru in Europe when she was sick with TB because Nehru was jailed then. This whole Nehru Bose tiff is bogus.

@jjude Well said! Excited to check out the interview!
