Mohammad Jueitem, who identifies himself as an “international entrepreneur” on Instagram, has triggered a debate on social media after posting a video explaining his decision to relocate to India. In his video, Mr Jueitem, who is originally from Qatar, shared his experience in India and the contrast he observed between life in the Gulf and in one of the world’s most populous and diverse nations. “I left the richest country in the world to live here in India,” the 17-year-old says in the video, before explaining why he chose to leave behind the comfort and predictability of the Gulf for the challenges and energy of India.
“In our countries, life is comfortable and predictable. But here, everything is different. Everyone is working tirelessly, and comfort doesn’t seem to exist,” Jueitem said in the clip. He praised India’s “hustle culture,” recounting how locals spoke passionately about their ambitions and worked more than 10 hours a day in pursuit of their goals. “This is persistence, passion, and discipline. They are not just surviving, they are creating, innovating, and building,” he said.

Since being shared, the video has accumulated more than 11,000 views and several likes. It has triggered mixed reactions from social media users. While some appreciated the perspective and shared encouraging words, others criticised the tone and content of his statements.
