Arre bhai, ye kya hai! 🙄 Imagine, working 70 hours a week? Sounds like a script for a Bollywood movie where the hero does nothing but kaam, kaam, aur sirf kaam! But this ain’t a movie, it’s real life, and Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy ji really said it. 😳
So, picture this scene: Murthy ji on stage, dialogues ready, suggesting that our young brigade should hustle for 70 hours a week to boost Bharat Maa’s productivity. This sparked a blockbuster level debate across the nation! 💥 Some tech bigwigs jumped into the scene to support the idea, while others, like a Bengaluru cardiologist, were totally against it, warning about the health risks of such long working hours (Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) (Business Today).
In true filmi style, let’s give this story a twist na? 😄 One Bengaluru company took this 70 hours idea and added their own masala, focusing not just on work but also on personal growth and health. Imagine the setting where the company bosses say, Boss, your sleep and your health are also important! They redefined the 70-hour hustle to include personal development time, fitness hours, and, yes, proper sleep! 🌜 Fitness and personal growth as part of work hours? Now that’s a progressive plot twist!
Murthy ji himself defended his remarks by drawing parallels with farmers and factory workers, and emphasizing the hard work done by them. His pitch? Those who got the chance to study at subsidized rates owe it to their country to work hard. Very patriotic, no? But, yaar, not everyone is cut out for a 70-hour marathon every week, right? 🏃♂️🚫
And oh, the drama isn’t just here. Tech Mahindra’s CEO even spun this into a life coaching session, suggesting these 70 hours include self-improvement to make you a master of your craft. That’s like adding a training montage in our movie where the hero prepares for the big showdown! 🎬
So, what do you think? Is this 70-hour epic a hit or a flop? Whatever your view, one thing is filmy clear – balance is the key! As they say in Bollywood, too much of anything, even good, can be bad! Taaliyaan to this company in Bengaluru for their director’s cut on work-life balance. 👏👏👏
