Infosys Founder Narayana Murthy Advocates for 70-Hour Workweeks

Murthy argues against work-life balance, citing national duty and productivity as priorities.

Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, has reiterated his belief in 70-hour workweeks, dismissing the concept of work-life balance.
Murthy's comments have reignited discussions on labor laws, as such work hours are illegal in India under current regulations.
He points to post-WW2 Japan and Germany as examples of countries that rebuilt through hard work and high productivity.
Critics argue that Murthy's views are outdated and not aligned with the values of younger generations who prioritize balance and well-being.
Murthy's stance has drawn attention due to his family connection to former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, highlighting cultural differences in work ethics.
