• The archival footage, reposted on X by user @mxtaverse, gained traction on October 18–19 with a caption suggesting most people seen later became multi-millionaires abroad.
• Viewers noted the relaxed, phone-free interactions and contrasted them with today’s digitally tethered routines and fatigue.
• Former employee Param Arunachalam cautioned against romanticizing the era, recalling routine 15-hour days and even 50-plus hours spent in the office.
• Arunachalam also described abundant early opportunities in a nascent sector, including rapid onsite assignments and tight-knit teams in Infosys Mangalore.
• Claims that early Infosys staff amassed significant fortunes, including a post about someone retiring at 38 with nearly Rs 100 crore, are anecdotal and unverified, as Hindustan Times disclosed.
