'I worked for 70 hours, but I cannot force anyone to do so', Narayan Murthy's new statement.

Posted on 21st Jan 2025 11:25 am by rohit kumar

Infosys co-founder NRN Narayana Murthy has said that no one can be forced to work for long hours. But, everyone should think about it themselves and understand its need.

 

He recently advised the youth to work 70 hours a week. Murthy said that he worked more than 70 hours every week for 40 years in Infosys. This issue does not need debate, but self-reflection is needed.

 

I used to leave the office at 8:30 in the night.

 

Narayan Murthy said that I used to reach the office at 6:30 in the morning and leave at 8:30 in the night. I have done this. After the Kilachand Smriti Lecture at IMC Mumbai, Murthy was asked a question on work-life balance.

 

Introspection is necessary instead of debate.

 

Narayan Murthy said that these are matters of his personal life. Introspection is necessary instead of debate on this. No one can say that you should do this, you should not do this. 60 percent of Indians still depend on free food grains every month. Such poverty is not good for any country. A civilized society is one where work is done to make life better for the next generation.

 

L&T Chairman's statement was in discussion

 

Let us tell you that after Narayan Murthy, the statement of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Chairman SN Subrahmanyan also gave rise to a new debate. He advocated 90 hours of work in a week. However, many people also criticized SN Subrahmanyan's statement.
