One can indeed find inspiration in anything and everything, and the same was true of the Biocon founder and chairperson, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw. Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account, she recalled how a message her nephew wrote to her inspired her life and the work she does now. She revealed that he wrote her the message when he was just six years old.
The founder of the biopharmaceutical giant shared a drawing by her nephew, Eric. The drawing depicted a pot filled with gold coins, accompanied by a sweet and inspiring message that touched the hearts of many on the Internet. On the pot, Eric wrote, “If I found a pot of gold, I would give it to my aunt for her company to make new medicine for very bad disease. Eric.”
Sharing the picture, Eric’s aunt proudly wrote, “This is my nephew Eric’s beautiful message at Age 6, which has inspired me to do what I do.”

In no time, the post went viral, with social media praising Eric for his thoughts. One user said, “What a treasure! And now your niece and nephew are both continuing to carry the torch!”
“Eric is a smart cookie,” another mentioned.
“Children have a way of putting what matters most into simple words. That kind of hope is what keeps real progress going in the world,” read a comment.
Someone else wrote, “That is such a sweet and thoughtful message. Kids really have the purest hearts and remind us what truly matters.”
