Recently, an Indian multinational information technology company, Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has suggested that Indian youngsters should work 70 hours a week.
Narayana Murthy stated, “If we want to compete with the fastest growing countries like China and Japan, we need to boost up our work productivity.”
“At the moment, India’s work productivity is very low. The government also must reduce the time it takes for decision-making and curb corruption in bureaucracy”, Narayana Murthy added.
Radhika Gupta MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund Between offices and homes has said many Indian women have been working many more than 70 hours per week.
Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund took to social media platform X (formally Twitter) and said, “Between offices and homes, many Indian women have been working many more than seventy hour weeks to build India (through our work) and the next generation of Indians (our children).”
“For years and decades. With a smile, and without a demand for overtime. Funnily, no one has debated about us on Twitter”, she added.

JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal, took to social media platform X (formally Twitter) saying, “A 5 day week culture is not what a rapidly developing nation of our size needs. Our PM @narendramodi ji works over 14-16 hours every day.”
“My father used to work 12-14 hours, 7 days a week. I work 10-12 hours every day. We have to find passion in our work and in nation-building”, the post added.
The company further said, “Our circumstances are unique and the challenges we face are distinct from the developed nations. They are working 4 or 5 days a week because their earlier generations clocked longer & more productive hours. We can’t let shorter work weeks elsewhere become our standard!”
“India’s greatest strength is our youth. And in our journey to become a superpower, this generation has to prioritize work over leisure. As we progress, there will be opportunities for comfort, and the youth of 2047 will reap the benefits of our sacrifices and diligence”, the post concluded.
A 5 day week culture is not what a rapidly developing nation of our size needs.
