Mr. Murthy, you chose a path of life that has taken you somewhere today. Good for you if you believe you have achieved success in life. However, another person may have a totally different perspective on life. Spending time with family, pursuing a hobby, getting involved in charitable activities, fitness, etc., may be more important than working crazy hours to climb the corporate ladder. While I respect Mrs. Murthy and you immensely, you should have the humility to value different perspectives in a society. It is too egoistic of someone like you to say that you will listen only if someone is more successful than you. In what way should they be more successful than you? Money? Family life? Impact on society? Health? For all you know, one may be more successful than you in many fields. The new India, unlike your times, youngsters want everything. Rather than having obscene amounts of money, they would prefer having respectable amount of money with a good work-life balance. I wouldn't say what you have done is wrong, but having the humility to accept a broader perspective is very important, especially when you employ so many young people who have their own ideas about what they want out of life.
Well the ones who trolled him also didn't accept his perspective (even though they were nothing in life, surviving on their father's money - who funny enough probably worked 60 or 70 hours a week)
@@TapanAnand How many hours did his son & daughter give to the company? Still, they're enjoying Infosys shares growth. Those who gave hard sweat didn't even receive any shares / ESOPs. This is the same bigot who was against casual attires in office, WFH, moonlighting.
If you are thinking this then either you are a privileged rich kid which is due to your parents working 70+ hours a week or you are a person with a mediocre mind who just wants a 9-5 job and has no other ambition to achieve something good. any business owner or startup founder in early days would easily be working more than 70 hours a week
70 Hrs / Week at what cost? Unhealthy lifestyle, sleepless nights, less family time, remaining hours in traffic as Mr. Murthy against WFH culture, CTC of 3-4 LPA?
Mr. Murthy cleverly dodging the part that says he worked 70 hours for his own company and not for some employer. A startup I am running funded by GOI, they need my attention all time. My break hours is just 7 hours a day.
RIP to you. our time on planet is limited. i dont know even if you succeed with tons of money what you gonna make with it when you have already lost health in this course of time. appreciate your time and enjoy them in small things, you never know when is your end time

Work from 6am to 9pm and then get pizza after 9:15 upto 11 pm? That’s a straight up recipe for a heart attack. This man is insane. He has to realize that a truly advanced or developed society is one where each individual finds fulfilment, peace, security and happiness through physical and mental well being. Mr. Murthy was able to work long hours because he found his vocation in life. Unfortunately most people don’t, and end up in mediocre jobs, either because they have a limited capacity or aren’t as ambitious or are screwed by the school system or are born limited or have a different outlook towards life or whatever other reason among a multitude of things. Driving people to work more hours might help make a company like Infosys or some such other hack a lot more money in the short term but it would lead to employee burnout and a demotivated workforce in the long run. Sure a demotivated, burnt out employee can be replaced by younger meat fresh out of college, but it would only lead to a dissatisfied, demotivated and demoralised populace and society over time. This would be like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Even an economist would tell you that a person is more likely to do efficient work if he finds his metier in life. We should be trying to help people do just that by giving them the tools and resources they need, the space to think and most importantly give them their time! So “work” is not just being at a job but also figuring out and getting to be the best version of themselves in a personal and professional sense. This can be 8 to 9 hours at a day job and the rest working towards your goals. Should this “work” in total constitute more than 70 hours a week? Sure! Why not. But don’t have pizza after 9 pm for God’s sake. You’ll ruin your gut and your heart. Normalizing the idea that people spend 70 hours a week in jobs that they feel trapped in and are doing just to provide for their families is toxic as f**k and I am appalled that someone like Mr Murthy would advocate something like this. I am disappointed that he lacks the wisdom and foresight to see the horrible consequences of whatever he is advocating. One would expect people like him to come up with a vision of what we have to do to become a more fulfilled, peaceful, tolerant and progressive society but I guess that was expecting too much. He’s turned out to be just another businessman at the end of the day. What a crying shame for our great country!
Mr Murthy you worked for yourself for 70 hrs a week, that’s great for you & your family, I am also a businessman came up in life from middle class, I’ve also worked 70 to 80 hrs a week for 30 years that’s good for me & family. But why should a person working for us should work 70 hrs a week ? Are we going to give him a share of our money ? At the maximum you would give him some shares and I would give a cash bonus that’s all. A person who wants to enjoy a middle class life and satisfied with enjoying family life and work life balance will not work for 70 hrs a week and it is not necessary for him or her

Thats what makes them great nd respected. Sure if one is incapable they will make excuses. When NRN started he had just basic living but he did great. Similarly even poor people like anna hazare, Kejriwal, John Muir, etc think of greater good.
i lost all the respect to Murthy couple after watching this. absolutely pathetic to listen he still stick to it. for you it might be important for others their priority exist in others like family, friends, health, choosing to live in the moments. RIP to your thoughts.
Same here, everyone has to change along with time. They should learn from entrepreneurs like steve jobs, mark zuckerberg and ratan tata regarding transition....
Working for your self for 70-80 hours a week is for a period of time is wonderful But not for company that doesn't give a damn about you and can replace you in a heartbeat😢
What about nurturing children? Aged parents & their health issues? Cooking food and household work? Who sends children to school? Family maintenance works? Who is this worst fellow? He worked hard and enjoying all the sweat & blood of his employees along with his family. How can an employee in his firm work like this for meagre salary and little comforts? I hate his comments. 👿
Can someone pls tell these intelligent oldies but not so sharp (now) that both husband and wife are missing the point. He says, he used to leave his home at 6 AM and reach the office at 6:20 AM. Well, tell them, that that is not possible for 85% of the youth who even travel for 1.5 hours daily. I personally believe that the youth in our big cities are probably the hardest working workforce ever anywhere in the world as of 2024. No discussion and no advice needed from you both. Pls spare our hardworking youth. Also, to mention that not everyone acquired their education on subsidies. First know something about the country as a whole than technology only!!
70 hours kam employees karen 240 cr apne 4 mahine ke bache ko de Employees ko bhi kuch izzatdar salary de do DCE / dtu kaise college ke bachho ko bhi ye 3-4 ka annual package de te h Exploitation
He forgot to mention Promoter vs Employee. As a owner of any business he/she has to out work every other employee. True for small enterprises as well as large.
This gentleman knows well he's in final stage of his life.. so willing to welcome all behind him very soon as a ceo he is not interested for waiting long in heaven or hell wherever.. listening to this gentleman companies already started asking for 6days work that to in night shift😊
I have worked 70 hours per week and no week off in one indian MNC company after 3 years they have fired me for budget issue what I have got ? The company always thought their profit first they never think of any employee please don't do foolish comment like this.
The media is giving unnecessary hype to this family for nothing. Mr Murthy should know that times have changed since 80s. We have heard enough. It's time media stops giving importance to this family who thinks that they are the apostle of perfection and goodness.
As a CEO even 20 hours a day is very much acceptable as he can enjoy the growth of the company. On the other hand, the employee is working for getting 5%hike against the market of 6%inflation. The current service sector industries is looting employees hardwork,hampering their work life balance . Against growth of company, the employees never get proportional hike nor the share according market price.. It means you are doing job underprice for make the company overpriced.... Big tragedy
Throw banana to monkeys are considered same as when you work for 70 hours. Someone give him Gita or Ramayan book. It is not the best time for Old Murthy to lecture. Its time to follow spiritual path. 😊
I think 6 hours a day is sufficient as you have only 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. Naturally Night isnt meant to work except in some situations like Army. So having 6 hours of work in day time is sufficiemt amount if work
One cannot drag back the times and the idea of work that's gone by. Infact people are relating to work differently because of the meaning Mr. Murthy and his generation attached to the word 'work'. There's an inbuilt redundancy in the idea that Mr. Murthy is advocating.
Can’t be, commute along in Bangalore is total of 3 hours , plus bio breaks, lunch breaks , tea break ,breakfast takes up. 3 hours per day , so if he was working 14 hrs per day as claimed, was he doing all the rest in 4 hours ? ( sleeping, interacting with his family , entertainment etc..)
Work is part of life not life itself.As.per Bagavad Geeta also..Karma yoga is a means to the end.Everything is well and wisely put by mother nature.One individuals life style and definition of progress is not a common yardstick.Obviously Murthy worked hard to make money for himself and others.But thats not the whole purpose of life and living.Purpose of karma is to go beyond karma to realize who we.are...who am i?
Who cares if he works like a nut job? Let those who want to live in their offices do so, but don't enforce this insane propaganda. 'we have to work hard, because the farmer works hard' - what is wrong with this clown? If this is the quality of his analysis after being in his position then something is clearly wrong with him.
He isn't "enforcing this insane propaganda". He is giving an advice. It's up to you to follow it or not. The only clown is the one who thinks this is "enforcing". That would be you. Are you "enforcing" your stupid comments on youtube? .. Some special kind of moron you are.
As a business owner, you need to understand, that it is your responsibility to earn and make sure business is profitable. Your employees are not slaves they are working for you. If you expect hardwork from them then start giving profit share to your employees. They will work 14 hours a day. It is your business it is your responsibility. Employees are just resources that you use for earning. Stop having unrealistic expectations.
If the profit is equally divided as per work then 70 hrs can be considered.... He may be having passion and consider family to be the last preference most of the people don't perceive his Perception. Varies from person to person.
Murthy sir comments will be liked by enterpenures, but not by employees. Willfully working for bursts of overtime to address emergency is different from forcing someone to work for 10 hours per day. There by you are asking smart guy who does things faster will now work slower to compensate extra hours imposed or gets into coffee badging gets into habit of postponing. Productivity decreases further than it used to be. If Mr Muthy sir really wants to motivate to work like him, brew more startups give responsibility and share to eligible team and they will automatically work hard as it's their own start up. That is what is missing in Muthy Sirs statements.
Frankly speaking I respect a lot of the businessmen and famous personalities from older generation but the issue with most of them is that they try to impose their outdated useless ideology and methodology. They try to give advice in areas they may not be even qualified in. They don't let the young think for themselves or find their own ways. Already we are seeing a lot of increase in hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression, anxiety and other mental health diseases, increasing incidents of divorce in young couples, burnout etc. and the last thing we need is someone influential like Mr. Murthy giving such a dangerous advice. And those who are young, please don't listen to such fools. Cherish your own physical and mental health, invest time in your relationship with yourself, your family, friends and community, have hobbies that will refresh your mind, eat healthy and sleep adequately.
He wants people to work and what if they fall sick....does conpany fund... all this for country coming up.....why does he not speak on corruption spoiling existing hard work....how much of the hard earned salary go a waste as tax....Mr. Murthy with all respect please come out of your cocoon thought as a boss
This is what unbridled capitalism looks like. How did Mr Murthy get super duper rich? Lets do simple Maths. By hiring only 6 people and making them work for 70 hours for a 420 hour job. It would have required atleast 10 people had they worked the normal 40 hours. Thats 40 % less in payroll costs to his company! And 4 people are now unemployed instead of 10 people being employed. So there is 40 % unemployment, the 60% that are employed are overworked and Mr. Murthy and his board members pocket billions. How does that help nation building? Fallacy huh?
Instead of the word working hard the word might have been focused and dedicated in what ever meaningful contribution we do.If we love and dedicate ourselves to what we do there is no need to work hard ,we enjoy working for even 100 hours a week. Every thing said and and done it’s individual choice which inspires him to work for more hours,if any body wants to achieve exceptionally well in their fields then yes even 100 hours a week is going to be normal.
He worked for his fortunes in his company, compensations cannot be compared. 70 hr work week is only applicable to entrepreneurs with large vision. This video is "saving own skin" in public eye, should have been clearer at least now.
Mr. Murthy first check your Infosys, who was responsible to leak Personal details of Bank of America Customers. Suck incidents causes our country reputation to get affected. In 40 Hours/week people are getting stress and panic attack, and yours 70 hours work policy what will happen Have you ever thinked of? Are you going to take care of the employees family if death occurs? And because of this normal living of Humans are getting affected. I had earlier lots of respect for you, but now nothing is left.
This video is an excellent example for workers to start prioritizing their health and family first before anything else. A company can easily replace its workers at any point of time and due to that a company doesn't require to care about its employees. Every company will say that they are this, they are that, but at the end of the day, they are just entities that are extremely greedy and want to make money at the expense of anything or anyone. It doesn't matter how good a company or its official promote themselves to be. At the end of the day, whatever they say must be taken as a grain of salt. Apart from squeezing the workers to gain more profit, nothing else matters to these corporations.
Also the two oldies in this video are extremely disconnected from reality due to the massive wealth and power they have amassed. They have no clue on what they are talking about. These people are no better than a tiktok or an instagram influencer. Most of the things these people say are pure BS.
Yes Mr Murthy , we will work for more hour and fill your pockets with more money without personal life and health for us. But you people will think 1000 of times to on board one resource in USA as to pay more money, so , your replacing them with Indians for less money by making them to work in night shifts. What a justice sir!
What he ate at morning, 12 hour a day. Some people do job not because they like it but they have responsibility on their shoulder. Whatever the free time person gets he utilize that time to grow himself, rather than wasting time on work where you don't get much of good salary
70 hrs work is to make the rich to more rich only. Common man doesnt get anything out of it. Those who are working for 70hrs will only get health issues as awards in their mid ages. This thought process of Shri Narayana Murthy garu is only for entrepreneurs not for employees
1. Infosys is not a non profit org. 2. It's founder is not gods gift to man kind. 3. It's the fault of public who made him larger than life image 4. So ask him why he has not implemented 14 hrs in Infosys.
Full of air this man. 70 hrs a week can’t or any number of hours can’t be decreed as a blanket rule. Rather inspire employees with a sense of WHY, a sense of purpose in their jobs. They will scale up to working harder - even more than 70 hours for that matter! He who has a WHY can bear with any HOW. The Murthys have missed the point completely. I hate it that the Indian media gives them a pedestal to sing their conceit.
We have to respect what he tells whether we follow or not since his success has proved ex careers to lakhs of people .He achieved it from his middle-class upbringing and importantly is addressing those who want to want to achieve big so remaining don’t worry.
Looks like in all these years you have only achieved money and arrogance.... Sorry to say that but this is my view after listening this interview. 70 hours in a week is just not so fair. "8 hrs a day total 56hours.. Time for your family and friends and for yourself"
He worked for himself and made all the profit. Pay for 80 hours man we will also work half month and enjoy half month..... Let him be reborn and work for 100 hours for others.
What good he did to society ? He become rich without paying employees properly. He is zero in charity. He claims many people offered him job, butno one took him. You work 70 hours but younger generations want a balanced life, grow ip murthy....
Ok Mr Murthy, is the definition of success just making wealth, prosperity, and comfortable life (plus spending some time with family)? Yes one may achieve this; but the problem is you will achieve it only for this one life. What about the next life? What is the use of working hard (like asses) without knowing what lies beyond this current life and our experience of this phenomenal world? No one thinks about this seriously or cares much. Vedic culture teaches us to prepare for the next life, otherwise we will have to take birth again, become diseased, get old, die again and the process continues. The pain at the time of birth and death is immense. How do we solve these real problems/ miseries of life? Birth, death, old age and disease are common to all, no one wants them, and no one can avoid them. What is the solution then? Mr Murthy should study Bhagavad Gita once: it is not just a religious book.
Your two kids surely didn't inherit the same struggle that you have gone through with all the foreign education they could afford so easily due to your persistent hard work, and now are leading lives with golden spoons in their mouths with all the Infosys stock inherited due to your hard work, luck and sacrifices. Will you still preach them to work hard and crack only the IIT and IIM exams? With affluence everyone changes and that is the reason the young India is also having different approach towards life. Please accept that hard work alone doesn't guarantees success, there is one important factor called luck. Very few people succeed in their startups, and you too belong to that lucky category. Labour class is already working 7 days a week for 12 hours daily in India to build excellent Infrastructure for companies like Infosys but unfortunately do not have the capacity to boast or have any access to brag about work ethics or hard work or Simple life. We do congratulate you on your success of having become a billionaire and wish a vey happy, meaningful and successful life to you and your kids but just don't give you the right to continuously lecture us on your simplicity and hard work on every show on television. Once in a while is OK but to appear on every show and blabbering doesn't really showcase your simplicity. To many it is turning into an attention seeking exercise. My respect for you will be 10 folds more if you will support a movement that stocks owned by the founders should not be transferred on the basis of heredity rights of the children but donated to some trust for nation building. Let the kids find their own cause and success. Then surely you will have this right to preach on hard work, simple life and work ethics.
Sad to hear from person who had inspired many entrepreneurs. I remember like college days where seniors use to say we have been ragged when we were juniors, so it is our duty to rag the upcoming juniors also. We have all these technology to do more things at small span of time. They are the ones who wish to make like western countries where they might be having 4 day work week and we are talking of 70hrs per week. Are we going backwards or forward?
Everthying is fine until someone qustions your fresher package. Easy to preach Mr Murthy. Ask an employee getting 3.5 lpa , somehow just surviving. Why will the employees not skill up after 9 to 5 and switch rather than doing cheap labour at infy?
@@anubhav7547 They had ESOPs for employees who too risk and joined them when they were as big. Each of those employees became a millionaire. If someone expects ESOPs from Infy now, they that person is stupid.
Sir self growth in thr name of patriotism is sad. Also we have collaboration tools to communicate which were not there earlier. Today we have traffuc woes and senior citizens to attend. Let's make life easier and work in tandem a 3 day hybrid is more than sufficient. Or else no point building AI and othe things when we need a difficult life to leave kids seniors and irritate ourselves standing in hot heat and crate carbon emissions
Every business owner small or big works tiredlessly for his venture or company. But that doesn't mean others should work same way. That's the difference between Owner and Employee. You are telling as if you are first one. 😂😂😂
Extra Hours = Will they pay extra Money ? We are Happy to work if they pay for each extra hour........Unfortunately they wont pay money for extra hours.....then why should we work ?
What about disabled people? how many hours can they work? India's health care system sucks, infact pathetic. Come to western world, people in wheelchairs are working full time in every way of life among big and small private & govt employers. India needs to improve the health care system to the highest standard level so that disabled people can be employed respectully with dignity. India should generate more revenues through the tax system and invest in improving the healthcare industry especially for disabled people so they can be engaged in the employment industry. Tax the bollywood industry and the real estate industry where people owning more than 1 residential property should pay more in taxes and the govt of india will see huge revenues through this tax system to resolve many of the social issues, thereby enabling the unfortunate people to work in every industry.
This man have got out of mind. With all respect I just wanna say he doesn’t understand what he is talking, living in upper class, he is making comments on middle class. Simply they are saying become a slave. 14 hours work 8 hours sleep left with 2 hours for famliy. Just dumb logic.
Pay per hour and we may work as per our priorities.... I didnt know that this may happen to him.... He has lost his mind.... And talking crap in various forums.
WTF ? Whoever works 70 hours a week is an animal ? Life is not just working! We have thousands of other things to do.. here in west the people are fighting to work 38 hours a week.
They need to pay more than if they expect people to dedicate their life to their company and doesn’t have a healthy balance of work and family everything has to be paid for services as extreme as those require a high pay next time they make such callous remarks they should consider raising their salaries for employees willing to give that many hours of service
Just random increase in Working hours and productivity has no relation. Good preaching but most useless suggestion as it will destroy family structures in India, and will increase unemployment.
So did that make infy above rivals like accenture or ibm? He is speaking too much over estimating self . I worked in a Swedish telecom giant for long time and not more than 40 hrs a week. That company literally can buy two and half infy as far as revenue goes.
That's rich coming from a billionaire who has already harvested the work of young people for years without paying them the right salary, not just that even forming a coterie to make sure it stays that way. First, let him pay the overtime and extra hours his own employees put. Also, charities start at home, so let him make sure his kids do the same for the country. Ahhhh thats right he has sent them out of the country. And lets not even get started on the middle class madam next to him living a billionaire life for her family but repeatedly professing for middle class life for rest of the world. I don't know when will people see through them .

A person who wants to enjoy a middle class life and satisfied with enjoying family life and work life balance will not work for 70 hrs a week and it is not necessary for him or her
Exactly 💯
When did he say work for a company. He clearly said for "nation building". Working for a company is not necessarily nation building.
@@jonron3805 are you working for your family or for the nation? If you’re a rich politician you can work for nation but simple folks like rest of work for our families and pay the taxes honestly for building the nation

@@kssenthilkumar5802 Yeh the people who have limited capabilities work for themselves and their family, while greater people already have it figured it out to get income for their family and so are working for the nation or world in ADDITION to basic survival. Thats what makes them great nd respected. Sure if one is incapable they will make excuses.
When NRN started he had just basic living but he did great. Similarly even poor people like anna hazare, Kejriwal, John Muir, etc think of greater good.
i lost all the respect to Murthy couple after watching this. absolutely pathetic to listen he still stick to it. for you it might be important for others their priority exist in others like family, friends, health, choosing to live in the moments. RIP to your thoughts.
He was always like this. Only the facade created by his PR team has been broken.

45 is way too much. He expects us to do begar.
He should advice same thing to his son in law "working 10hr a day" so that he(PM Of England)can implement this policy for the people of England.
his son in law lost the election such loosers this dalals are this corporates are never pro india especially adani and ambani .
Working for your self for 70-80 hours a week is for a period of time is wonderful
But not for company that doesn't give a damn about you and can replace you in a heartbeat😢
What about nurturing children? Aged parents & their health issues? Cooking food and household work? Who sends children to school?
Family maintenance works?
Who is this worst fellow?
He worked hard and enjoying all the sweat & blood of his employees along with his family.
How can an employee in his firm work like this for meagre salary and little comforts?
I hate his comments. 👿
nah don't care about that, come work for a corporation till you die, relationships are for losers. /s
like we already aren't suffering enough.
Can someone pls tell these intelligent oldies but not so sharp (now) that both husband and wife are missing the point. He says, he used to leave his home at 6 AM and reach the office at 6:20 AM. Well, tell them, that that is not possible for 85% of the youth who even travel for 1.5 hours daily. I personally believe that the youth in our big cities are probably the hardest working workforce ever anywhere in the world as of 2024. No discussion and no advice needed from you both. Pls spare our hardworking youth. Also, to mention that not everyone acquired their education on subsidies. First know something about the country as a whole than technology only!!

Mr. Murthy expecting people to fallow his ideas, but every one have their own life style, plans and mindset. Mr. Murthy don't interfere.
He worked 70-90 hours a week for billions. Should your employees work 70 hours a week for 3LPA?
He forgot to mention Promoter vs Employee. As a owner of any business he/she has to out work every other employee. True for small enterprises as well as large.
This gentleman knows well he's in final stage of his life.. so willing to welcome all behind him very soon as a ceo he is not interested for waiting long in heaven or hell wherever.. listening to this gentleman companies already started asking for 6days work that to in night shift😊
I have worked 70 hours per week and no week off in one indian MNC company after 3 years they have fired me for budget issue what I have got ? The company always thought their profit first they never think of any employee please don't do foolish comment like this.
Us working 70 hours a week for MNCs most of which of their profit goes to the country they are registered won’t help the Indian farmers in any way
The media is giving unnecessary hype to this family for nothing. Mr Murthy should know that times have changed since 80s. We have heard enough. It's time media stops giving importance to this family who thinks that they are the apostle of perfection and goodness.
As a CEO even 20 hours a day is very much acceptable as he can enjoy the growth of the company. On the other hand, the employee is working for getting 5%hike against the market of 6%inflation. The current service sector industries is looting employees hardwork,hampering their work life balance . Against growth of company, the employees never get proportional hike nor the share according market price.. It means you are doing job underprice for make the company overpriced.... Big tragedy
The difference is, you were working for your own company's growth and The employees are working for someone else's company's growth.
Sudha Murthy should be awarded with Bharat Ratna...
And award for best actor in a 'Supporting Role' goes to Mr....
Who is here after Bangalore girl death 😢
Working 70 hours for billions and working 70 hours for 4LPA is not the same.
Ready to work 70 hours, please pay 70 hour salary and we will work on the weekend as well, please pay for it.
Narayana moorthy is a kind of person once he gets into toilet will take 70 hours to come out
He is a person who will charge his clients 70 hours per week and make 70% profit for himself.
Epic troll 😂😂
Throw banana to monkeys are considered same as when you work for 70 hours.
Someone give him Gita or Ramayan book. It is not the best time for Old Murthy to lecture. Its time to follow spiritual path. 😊
Well said 💯
I think 6 hours a day is sufficient as you have only 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
Naturally Night isnt meant to work except in some situations like Army.
So having 6 hours of work in day time is sufficiemt amount if work
Anyone watching after ey employee death incident
This shows how he exploited his employees for pea nuts.Thats our Indian mindset. ।
One cannot drag back the times and the idea of work that's gone by.
Infact people are relating to work differently because of the meaning Mr. Murthy and his generation attached to the word 'work'. There's an inbuilt redundancy in the idea that Mr. Murthy is advocating.
Can’t be, commute along in Bangalore is total of 3 hours , plus bio breaks, lunch breaks , tea break ,breakfast takes up. 3 hours per day , so if he was working 14 hrs per day as claimed, was he doing all the rest in 4 hours ? ( sleeping, interacting with his family , entertainment etc..)
God of Corporate Governance in India. Respects for his Honesty and Hardworking nature. Namaskaram.
Work hard, pay peanuts 😂
Hard nut to crack😂
Work is part of life not life itself.As.per Bagavad Geeta also..Karma yoga is a means to the end.Everything is well and wisely put by mother nature.One individuals life style and definition of progress is not a common yardstick.Obviously Murthy worked hard to make money for himself and others.But thats not the whole purpose of life and living.Purpose of karma is to go beyond karma to realize who we.are...who am i?
This guy living in his own world.
Who cares if he works like a nut job? Let those who want to live in their offices do so, but don't enforce this insane propaganda. 'we have to work hard, because the farmer works hard' - what is wrong with this clown? If this is the quality of his analysis after being in his position then something is clearly wrong with him.
He isn't "enforcing this insane propaganda". He is giving an advice. It's up to you to follow it or not. The only clown is the one who thinks this is "enforcing". That would be you. Are you "enforcing" your stupid comments on youtube? .. Some special kind of moron you are.
As a business owner, you need to understand, that it is your responsibility to earn and make sure business is profitable. Your employees are not slaves they are working for you. If you expect hardwork from them then start giving profit share to your employees. They will work 14 hours a day. It is your business it is your responsibility. Employees are just resources that you use for earning. Stop having unrealistic expectations.
If the profit is equally divided as per work then 70 hrs can be considered....
He may be having passion and consider family to be the last preference most of the people don't perceive his Perception. Varies from person to person.
Murthy sir comments will be liked by enterpenures, but not by employees. Willfully working for bursts of overtime to address emergency is different from forcing someone to work for 10 hours per day. There by you are asking smart guy who does things faster will now work slower to compensate extra hours imposed or gets into coffee badging gets into habit of postponing. Productivity decreases further than it used to be. If Mr Muthy sir really wants to motivate to work like him, brew more startups give responsibility and share to eligible team and they will automatically work hard as it's their own start up. That is what is missing in Muthy Sirs statements.
Frankly speaking I respect a lot of the businessmen and famous personalities from older generation but the issue with most of them is that they try to impose their outdated useless ideology and methodology. They try to give advice in areas they may not be even qualified in. They don't let the young think for themselves or find their own ways. Already we are seeing a lot of increase in hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression, anxiety and other mental health diseases, increasing incidents of divorce in young couples, burnout etc. and the last thing we need is someone influential like Mr. Murthy giving such a dangerous advice. And those who are young, please don't listen to such fools. Cherish your own physical and mental health, invest time in your relationship with yourself, your family, friends and community, have hobbies that will refresh your mind, eat healthy and sleep adequately.
He wants people to work and what if they fall sick....does conpany fund... all this for country coming up.....why does he not speak on corruption spoiling existing hard work....how much of the hard earned salary go a waste as tax....Mr. Murthy with all respect please come out of your cocoon thought as a boss
This is what unbridled capitalism looks like. How did Mr Murthy get super duper rich? Lets do simple Maths. By hiring only 6 people and making them work for 70 hours for a 420 hour job. It would have required atleast 10 people had they worked the normal 40 hours. Thats 40 % less in payroll costs to his company! And 4 people are now unemployed instead of 10 people being employed. So there is 40 % unemployment, the 60% that are employed are overworked and Mr. Murthy and his board members pocket billions. How does that help nation building? Fallacy huh?
Instead of the word working hard the word might have been focused and dedicated in what ever meaningful contribution we do.If we love and dedicate ourselves to what we do there is no need to work hard ,we enjoy working for even 100 hours a week.
Every thing said and and done it’s individual choice which inspires him to work for more hours,if any body wants to achieve exceptionally well in their fields then yes even 100 hours a week is going to be normal.
He worked for his fortunes in his company, compensations cannot be compared.
70 hr work week is only applicable to entrepreneurs with large vision.
This video is "saving own skin" in public eye, should have been clearer at least now.
Don't cry bro.. Just go and work😂
Mr. Murthy first check your Infosys, who was responsible to leak Personal details of Bank of America Customers. Suck incidents causes our country reputation to get affected.
In 40 Hours/week people are getting stress and panic attack, and yours 70 hours work policy what will happen Have you ever thinked of?
Are you going to take care of the employees family if death occurs? And because of this normal living of Humans are getting affected.
I had earlier lots of respect for you, but now nothing is left.
This video is an excellent example for workers to start prioritizing their health and family first before anything else. A company can easily replace its workers at any point of time and due to that a company doesn't require to care about its employees. Every company will say that they are this, they are that, but at the end of the day, they are just entities that are extremely greedy and want to make money at the expense of anything or anyone. It doesn't matter how good a company or its official promote themselves to be. At the end of the day, whatever they say must be taken as a grain of salt. Apart from squeezing the workers to gain more profit, nothing else matters to these corporations.
Also the two oldies in this video are extremely disconnected from reality due to the massive wealth and power they have amassed. They have no clue on what they are talking about. These people are no better than a tiktok or an instagram influencer. Most of the things these people say are pure BS.
Including weekly office travel time of atleast 14 hours will come up with more than 70 hours...
Yes Mr Murthy , we will work for more hour and fill your pockets with more money without personal life and health for us. But you people will think 1000 of times to on board one resource in USA as to pay more money, so , your replacing them with Indians for less money by making them to work in night shifts.
What a justice sir!
What he ate at morning, 12 hour a day. Some people do job not because they like it but they have responsibility on their shoulder. Whatever the free time person gets he utilize that time to grow himself, rather than wasting time on work where you don't get much of good salary
Company which ensures work life balance produce better results...not your strategy
70 hrs work is to make the rich to more rich only. Common man doesnt get anything out of it. Those who are working for 70hrs will only get health issues as awards in their mid ages. This thought process of Shri Narayana Murthy garu is only for entrepreneurs not for employees
1. Infosys is not a non profit org.
2. It's founder is not gods gift to man kind.
3. It's the fault of public who made him larger than life image
4. So ask him why he has not implemented 14 hrs in Infosys.
Shown sense of arrogance then.. shown sense of arrogance now…
Full of air this man. 70 hrs a week can’t or any number of hours can’t be decreed as a blanket rule. Rather inspire employees with a sense of WHY, a sense of purpose in their jobs. They will scale up to working harder - even more than 70 hours for that matter! He who has a WHY can bear with any HOW. The Murthys have missed the point completely. I hate it that the Indian media gives them a pedestal to sing their conceit.
Buddha sathiya gaya hai. 3 hrs communiting every day
is very common in Bangalore.
This is why people should take backseat after a certain age. Never a fan of this man and his preachy wife 😂
We have to respect what he tells whether we follow or not since his success has proved ex careers to lakhs of people .He achieved it from his middle-class upbringing and importantly is addressing those who want to want to achieve big so remaining don’t worry.
Looks like in all these years you have only achieved money and arrogance.... Sorry to say that but this is my view after listening this interview. 70 hours in a week is just not so fair. "8 hrs a day total 56hours.. Time for your family and friends and for yourself"
England ke sasur ji !
He worked for himself and made all the profit. Pay for 80 hours man we will also work half month and enjoy half month..... Let him be reborn and work for 100 hours for others.
What good he did to society ? He become rich without paying employees properly. He is zero in charity. He claims many people offered him job, butno one took him. You work 70 hours but younger generations want a balanced life, grow ip murthy....
Sir First you work for 14 hour's
You thinking for money only
We are human being....
Not a buffalo...
Ok Mr Murthy, is the definition of success just making wealth, prosperity, and comfortable life (plus spending some time with family)? Yes one may achieve this; but the problem is you will achieve it only for this one life. What about the next life? What is the use of working hard (like asses) without knowing what lies beyond this current life and our experience of this phenomenal world? No one thinks about this seriously or cares much. Vedic culture teaches us to prepare for the next life, otherwise we will have to take birth again, become diseased, get old, die again and the process continues. The pain at the time of birth and death is immense. How do we solve these real problems/ miseries of life? Birth, death, old age and disease are common to all, no one wants them, and no one can avoid them. What is the solution then? Mr Murthy should study Bhagavad Gita once: it is not just a religious book.
Your two kids surely didn't inherit the same struggle that you have gone through with all the foreign education they could afford so easily due to your persistent hard work, and now are leading lives with golden spoons in their mouths with all the Infosys stock inherited due to your hard work, luck and sacrifices. Will you still preach them to work hard and crack only the IIT and IIM exams? With affluence everyone changes and that is the reason the young India is also having different approach towards life.
Please accept that hard work alone doesn't guarantees success, there is one important factor called luck. Very few people succeed in their startups, and you too belong to that lucky category. Labour class is already working 7 days a week for 12 hours daily in India to build excellent Infrastructure for companies like Infosys but unfortunately do not have the capacity to boast or have any access to brag about work ethics or hard work or Simple life.
We do congratulate you on your success of having become a billionaire and wish a vey happy, meaningful and successful life to you and your kids but just don't give you the right to continuously lecture us on your simplicity and hard work on every show on television. Once in a while is OK but to appear on every show and blabbering doesn't really showcase your simplicity. To many it is turning into an attention seeking exercise.
My respect for you will be 10 folds more if you will support a movement that stocks owned by the founders should not be transferred on the basis of heredity rights of the children but donated to some trust for nation building. Let the kids find their own cause and success. Then surely you will have this right to preach on hard work, simple life and work ethics.
Mr Murtthy
You should not give advice without asking. How can you forgot basic principle of life
Lets fix a per hour wage rate and watch how these so called debates end in a day 😂😂😂
Sad to hear from person who had inspired many entrepreneurs. I remember like college days where seniors use to say we have been ragged when we were juniors, so it is our duty to rag the upcoming juniors also. We have all these technology to do more things at small span of time. They are the ones who wish to make like western countries where they might be having 4 day work week and we are talking of 70hrs per week. Are we going backwards or forward?
His brain screws are loosening real fast at old age.
He only said we should not spend more time in office and give importance to other things in life .
Everthying is fine until someone qustions your fresher package.
Easy to preach Mr Murthy.
Ask an employee getting 3.5 lpa , somehow just surviving.
Why will the employees not skill up after 9 to 5 and switch rather than doing cheap labour at infy?
He wants people to work like Donkeys for him
😂 the bird shitting from the tree hierarchy images are frozen in my head for 2 decades. Am alive and thank you for my choices.
You could work so many hours because it's your company. If we put in extra hours, would company pay us extra hours pay at the very least? No then why?
Where are we getting free education in India?
Ask him and his entire family to divest from Infosys, then he can talk.
How many shares did you give to your employees?
LOL. Probably a lot. Infosys has an ESOP program AFAIK.
That's only for His son & daughters, who didn't even think about Infosys.😂
@@TapanAnandwho told you that? Stop lying!!
@@anubhav7547 They had ESOPs for employees who too risk and joined them when they were as big. Each of those employees became a millionaire. If someone expects ESOPs from Infy now, they that person is stupid.

Sir self growth in thr name of patriotism is sad. Also we have collaboration tools to communicate which were not there earlier. Today we have traffuc woes and senior citizens to attend. Let's make life easier and work in tandem a 3 day hybrid is more than sufficient. Or else no point building AI and othe things when we need a difficult life to leave kids seniors and irritate ourselves standing in hot heat and crate carbon emissions

Every business owner small or big works tiredlessly for his venture or company. But that doesn't mean others should work same way. That's the difference between Owner and Employee. You are telling as if you are first one. 😂😂😂
Extra Hours = Will they pay extra Money ? We are Happy to work if they pay for each extra hour........Unfortunately they wont pay money for extra hours.....then why should we work ?
What about disabled people? how many hours can they work? India's health care system sucks, infact pathetic. Come to western world, people in wheelchairs are working full time in every way of life among big and small private & govt employers. India needs to improve the health care system to the highest standard level so that disabled people can be employed respectully with dignity. India should generate more revenues through the tax system and invest in improving the healthcare industry especially for disabled people so they can be engaged in the employment industry. Tax the bollywood industry and the real estate industry where people owning more than 1 residential property should pay more in taxes and the govt of india will see huge revenues through this tax system to resolve many of the social issues, thereby enabling the unfortunate people to work in every industry.
Yeah keep living by the western friends 😂
This man have got out of mind. With all respect I just wanna say he doesn’t understand what he is talking, living in upper class, he is making comments on middle class. Simply they are saying become a slave. 14 hours work 8 hours sleep left with 2 hours for famliy. Just dumb logic.
Mr. NR, how can you force your likes and dislikes on others?
Pay per hour and we may work as per our priorities.... I didnt know that this may happen to him.... He has lost his mind.... And talking crap in various forums.
WTF ? Whoever works 70 hours a week is an animal ? Life is not just working! We have thousands of other things to do.. here in west the people are fighting to work 38 hours a week.
You die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Budda needs to visit doctor
I also worked 70 hours a week for 0ne week
They need to pay more than if they expect people to dedicate their life to their company and doesn’t have a healthy balance of work and family everything has to be paid for services as extreme as those require a high pay next time they make such callous remarks they should consider raising their salaries for employees willing to give that many hours of service
Just random increase in Working hours and productivity has no relation.
Good preaching but most useless suggestion as it will destroy family structures in India, and will increase unemployment.
So did that make infy above rivals like accenture or ibm? He is speaking too much over estimating self . I worked in a Swedish telecom giant for long time and not more than 40 hrs a week. That company literally can buy two and half infy as far as revenue goes.
That's rich coming from a billionaire who has already harvested the work of young people for years without paying them the right salary, not just that even forming a coterie to make sure it stays that way. First, let him pay the overtime and extra hours his own employees put. Also, charities start at home, so let him make sure his kids do the same for the country. Ahhhh thats right he has sent them out of the country.
And lets not even get started on the middle class madam next to him living a billionaire life for her family but repeatedly professing for middle class life for rest of the world. I don't know when will people see through them .
