Gokul Rajaram has voiced strong agreement with an industry expert’s argument that revenue addiction can be fatal for companies.
Citing an article titled 'Revenue addiction kills companies,' Rajaram highlighted the risks of using revenue as a North Star, especially as the focus on revenue intensifies in the age of AI. The tweet reflects growing concern within the business community about leadership strategies centered solely on revenue growth.
Rajaram’s concerns about singular focus on revenue align with broader conversations in corporate governance, particularly as seen when DoorDash set new guidance for its GOV and EBITDA.
