@@narayanprasad4008It is because of mad competition amongst Indian Companies to quote $8 or $6 per hour to take the contract. At some point of time, the rate per hour was around $30 and as the Countries like Philippines, Irelands, Vietnam & Mexico have started supplying man power in these areas, these Companies have to quote very low and hence the service conditions have become equal to these South East Asian countries.

Mr Murthy you should also talk about the wages that Indian IT professional are getting and Indian IT sector should focus on innovation rather than services. Yes employees will definitely try to work if they are made the equal share holders of the company and the profits directly benefits the employees.
But, it is money income for the employers who do not share their success with their employees. Azim Premji is still hold 80%+ of Wipro shares. So also all other IT companies. Even, American Companies like IBM, HP, Accenture have learnt this dirty tricks of not giving Stick Options to employees. Only, European Companies are giving to each & every employees.
Another reality is that Rural students are not having any idea to join the courses in Engineering colleges. The farmers are taking education loan to educate their wards but not knowing whether the Stream they join are going to add to their skill which may come handy with them through their life.
@@VenugopalanV-v5x Of course they are holding all the shares. You should have had the guts to take their clients and start your own company. Who told you to keep slogging for low pay? Safety and surety => stagnation and poverty.
Murthy says work like slaves. He does not understand the concept of work life balance. Beyond 40 hours, it’s all personal time. From 41st onwards workout in gym, watch movies, go jogging etc etc. If at all you need to work for your employer beyond that 40 hours threshold, then let company compensate with 1.5x wage loading for every extra hour which is very common in west.
Make it 24 hrs personal time. 😀. Personal time is not d point of discussion. Money oriented lifestyle development process is d issue. More u work , more u get wages. Idle for labour base culture. Simple point .but stupid point in case of development of a nation .
What Murthy said is right. What work life balance are you speaking about..?? When I look at marwari shop.. he opens at 6 am and works till 11 pm.. he earns in 3 days what Infosys guys earns in a whole month. So we need to work more and also we should be equally compensated. Meaning... If Murthy is asking to work 12 hours.. fine.. but salary should be doubled coz lot more sacrifices go in.
No wonder India is diabetic capital of the world. I know how most Indian IT services companies win the bids. Bid cheaper rates, pay peanuts to the workers, make them work 12 hours a day, pay them for 8 hrs that too very sub standard rates. That’s why when their employees go abroad and get a chance they give no second thought to join a local company of that country and never come back. And we cry big of brain drain. Funny 😄
@@vishwajeetbanerjee3295 your theory is absolutely nonsense. We work in IT and we are handsomely paid. Can you even imagine a 8 year experience guy taking home 1.5 lakhs..?? Any other jobs..?? But IT pays you handsomely and also when we go abroad we make hell lot of money.. our savings will itself be around 2.5 lakhs per month. So if anyone is stressed then they are not managing their day properly. First do exercise, run for 20 mins, stop junk food, stop browsing insta, fb till late night... Everything will be fine. Wake up bro.
The HR hides everything from top management They manipulated companies with top managers Hiding lacunae of management abd focusing on employees productivity based on vague methods
Not just Infosys, all India companies are doing that. They are charging huge to their clients (while that huge amount is very less for those clients) and they are paying very less to their employees with that the employers are already indirectly forcing their employees to work beyond 10hrs a day. It's time that Indian employees should demand a strong labor law, companies have already exploited enough, even that 40hrs a week is not followed by anyone. This how companies keep earning billions and employees earn lakhs and go to hospitals. BTW why don't they employ more people instead of doubling their working hours? Doesn't it boost the economy in the same way or doesn't it create more employment or does not India have so much unemployed graduates? Work productivity is low because you are already paying them less and making them work for longer hours already which is already an imbalance of work-life balance, will lead to demotivation.

Go consult a psychiatrist who advises not to work for more than 8 hrs. Youth of this nation are ready to work for above 10 hrs only if they increase their salary hike and not for peanuts in this highly inflated economy !! Infosys increased CEO remuneration from 42 crores to 79 crores after laying off 1000's of employees last year! Such a great company slowly dying. Each year nearly 1.50 lakhs people leaving India one of the reason is this great exploitation
Within 70 hours, breaks for lunch, breakfast, snacks and idle chit chat, pointless meetings is also counted so this can also be minimised. Most people do around 3 - 4 hours of real focussed work per day. If you can increase this to 7 - 8 hours it's good.
This guy is almost done on age. When people need to dedicate time to their families more during these times this guy wants everyone to work 70+ hours a week! He needs to preach this to his kids who by the way can’t speak a single Kannada word while parents go gaga over the same language.
@@Momentscapturedbyme Do you know how much more important it is to spend time with their families especially in India where people hardly talk to each other in a day??? By the way, all the state government employees who take bribes must work 100 hours a week for the amount they make!!!
I think the employees of Infosys will be more than willing to work for 70 hours, if Mr. Murthy is willing to share the profits and the stock of the company with his employees. Where is the growth, when the employee is exploited to gain more profit for the company and the profit is passed on to his children of the employer. The talent of the young India is exploited by the corporate world, paying peanuts. The corporate colossal Mr. Murthy wants to exploit them more.
I would assume that the employees of Infosys ARE more than willing to work 70 hours. And good for them! There is no other way for Bharat to grow. If Infosys were to advertise for just 1 opening, how many resumes will they receive? 1000? 10000?
@@narenmenon6906infosys should hire more people to increase productivity. Narayan Murthy has given more money to his daughter than what British queen has
Indian IT companies essentially are bodyshopping i-e providing resources (bodies) and charging overseas clients ($25, 30, 35 per hour). They don't care about any productivity. All they want to see is their resources putting in more hours so they can charge their overseas clients. This serves the IT business owners in boosting their profits. Indian IT companies are hiring substandard engineers (what you pay is what you get), and their billionaire owners are asking them to work more without compensating accordingly, which is absurd and shameful. Of course, I agree that working harder will eventually benefit anyone no matter how productive they are. However, not those people who work in IT companies. Pai is talking utter nonsense just look at his attitude how impolite he is with the anchor.
A person's life has many dimensions - he has to devote time to all of them. First and foremost is the spiritual dimension - prayer and mediation etc. Next comes work and family. Then his personal needs such as rest, relaxation, food and sleep. The advice given by these business stalwarts to devote 42% of the week to work is totally out of tune with reality. Their hidden purpose behind this advice is to create a gang of slaves who will toil for these magnates so that the magnates can add to their already swollen bank balances. Narayana Murthy has admitted that he could devote hardly any time to the upbringing of his daughter because he was so busy with work, As a result his daughter Akshata was brought up virtually by her mother and never received the care due from a father to his child. All these people who advocate such slavish work hours are those who have sold themselves to the pursuit of wealth at the expense of other areas of living.
It is not about how many hours you put in. It is how to work smart. People need to be disciplined at work, learn new skills, work efficiently and produce quality work. Also employees have to bear in mind the company's values, mission and goals. I have observed people working slow with no enthusiasm and stretching hours of work to look good in the eyes of management. Not a good sign.
To Chetan Bhagat's point: yes, working 7 hrs with focus is probably better than working 14 hrs without focus. But working 14 hrs with focus is better than working 7 hrs with focus. I believe that is what Murthy meant.
Different people have different goals in life. For someone who wants to be financially successful, his words makes sense. For people who want work life balance or pursue their own interests, they wouldn't want to spend so much time in office.
It's high time we demand 30 work hrs week. This should become main elecoral topic. We should vote only that party which promised to implement 30 hr week.
Work is part of life. It is not one's whole life. There are other equally & more important and varied dimensions in life. I have worked for 12 hours a day in my young days as a bachelor. I just couldn't put up with the physical & mental stress. My energy & personal aspirations in life were sapped. I kept sleeping after work hours. This is what is happening exactly in Japan. Overworked youngsters are reticent to get married & found sleeping in metro while in travel. Its effect on family dynamics would be incomprehensible & deleterious.
Why is the onus only on “Youngsters” to work 70 hours to build the economy of the nation? I ll tell you why . Because they want to get a lot of work done and earn shitt loads of money for peanuts(literally nothing)! Youngsters don’t know their value, can be easily exploited, don’t yet know the office politics etc etc . Dear Youngsters, Work hard for yourself NOT for these greedy bastards !
In most IT companies, employees work more than 70 hours. They don't count the travel time, overtime, phone calls from home, work that is done from home on Saturday & Sunday. He has no work now. Murthy made his money. At his senile age, wonder why he did not say 100 hours a week.
I agree with Mr. Murthy, I work 84 hrs a week, and I don't feel stress. It's only possible because I love my job. I think those who are against Mr. Murthy are "lazy employees" who does job only for money not for interest. job should be done with interest, without interest every minute is stressful.
The youth must not burn out. They must work on improving themselves, do their best, enhance their creativity, upgrade their skills, passionately follow their dreams. and lead a quality life with family and friends. This is that will improve productivity but not slog for a few ppl'sl profits. Balance is very important otherwise the country will deal with health issues. But at the same time youth must not waste their time on unnecessary things , self gratification, and become lazy.. Narayan Murthy should have said that today's youth must find a purpose for themselves and devote to it and think big. Whether employed or entrepreneur. That would be more inspiring to the youth. He should've worded himself better, having so much of experience. If you want to connect with the youth, speak in a manner that resonates with them,.
Things are hard when your emotions are not taking your commands, body is struggling to keep because you feed it wrong food, and energy is struggling by fighting with resistance or laziness within
A very balanced view from Chetan, appreciated👏….in this modern era we can be productive and work on building nation at the same time can have work life balance
Mohandas Pai acted like a bully. Was in the defensive right from go. And his 'I don't care...' showed that he wasn't willing to listen to any other points of view. Full of himself. No leadership qualities. Just wondering what a bully he must have been as a leader. Also showed no respect for the anchor. Really appreciate her for how well she handled him. For all his rant against youngsters, here the youngster came out on top. Chetan Bhagat was on point. Very thoughtful and well reasoned arguments. Would have been a much more capable and empathetic leader.
For some time am seeing lots of views expressed by the two highly respected gentlemen on many topics or issues. There should be no problem for young to work 70 hour weeks so long as the company pays them as per the no of hours put in.
Just 8 hours a day with proper plan is more than enough for anyone. Adding more hours could decrease productivity. If we want to work for 80 hours then add another batch and provide employment for indians.
Being from IT consulting industry implemented over 35+ projects, I can say hours is way over rated. Projects are carelessly executed, especially at requirement stage in the USA, so most work is just corrections and design changes though they could have been fixed earlier at design stage. Also, poor source control, overwrites and deployment issues leading to long hours. Only small amount productive. Very poor advise. Instead stronger physically and active individuals turn out more work in shorter time. A disciplined persona ne society healthy in all aspects is what's needed, not long hours. Also, most project have very little work 70% of the time. And huge load at the end of the project. This will punish efficiency and promote poor performance.

Perfect advice for those whose revenue is based on man hour billing. For the rest of us we work when motivated and when we have an objective or goal. Then it does not matter how many hours are needed. But is your job motivational? There has to be a sense of ownership and sense of belonging.
Gaining functional competency is a journey without shortcuts. It requires relentless effort until you've achieved that level of competence. Once you've reached that point, you can strike a balance between your professional and personal life.
Fully agree with you. Dr. Man Singh, the Executive VP in Cisco, who hold many Patents, once said that Innovation does not happen between 9 to 5. But, we all know that Mr. NRN is not talking about this aspect when he says 70 hours work a week. Infosys is a Land Mafia apart from being exploitative.

I think the youth are more than willing to put in 70+ hours a week. What's lacking is the direction from the senior workforce and management to properly channel the youth's enthusiasm such that it produces the right results. You can't expect a fresher to know the right things to do to achieve this, it has to come from senior management and administration. Murthy and others of his kind should focus on this aspect, rather that dumping all the blame and responsibility on the shoulders of the youth. They have enough troubles to deal with, largely thanks to systems and processes that were put in place by the previous generations. Blaming it all on laziness is just a very lazy thing to do.
Talk for yourself, don't include all youngster. I definitely don't want to work 70 hours per week. No way. We have family to take care of, we have a life to live. No matter how great the project is, I am not willing to work more than 6 hours per day.
You think people who are working in these corporates are happy?😂😂😂 Then you are deluded. They are the most unhappiest of people in the world. India is ranked 139 in the happiness index. GDP is growing not happiness, happiness is going down and out.
Mr Pai, with all due respect, I'm not sure if you are looking at younger generation today. They are far more intellectual, interesting and think things out of the box. At 20,I remember working gor more than usual hour as I wanted to learn more and progress, that said my situation isn't the same as someone who's 21 today. Organisations have incentivise productivity instead of asking someone to put in 70 hours of effort to which they wont reap any benefit. What is so Unfortunate is that this comes from the most revered NM sir. I feel things are either taken out of context or something seems to be misplaced here... working 70 hours a week will decrease productivity in 2023. Please, you are living in 2023 not in 1990.
I absolutely agree with NarayanMurthy , MohanDas Pai and Chetan Bhagat too. If the current Gen don’t realise that the reason that they are talking about a work life balance today is because their parents have worked their butt off to put food , shelter, education and clothes on them. It’s irony of life that they are complaining about a work line balance
True our parents worked real hard and I’m sure this generation look up to them. But please don’t dismiss the young generation to say that they are complaining about long hours of work. The stress that today’s generation goes through is really tough as compared to our parents. All said, we have to respect each generation and accept the realities of today.
As an Indian-American, work life balance?? We work hardest compared to most countries. Genz lazy folks asking for "work life balance" don't earn much. Don't expect more money when u don't put in the effort.
Money wont give work life balance. We need time to devote to family also. 70hrs means reaching leaving office at 10pm night reaching home at 12 midnight after travel. I think that goes against employment laws and human rights codes and personal life and health at risk.
Youth working for 70 hours per week means for 6 days it comes to 11.66 hours. Its just workable and doable. Its possible only through youth, who should be skilled and trained. If India wants to reach the position of China, there is no ther go except working for 70 hours.

Is there any need to celebrate every FRIDAY as if Saturday and Sunday world will come to a Halt and restarting on Monday morning ?. This TGIF culture came from West is too bad .. I personally worked even on Sunday as our weekly one day off was on Monday ( Power outage on Monday in the Industrial area I worked) .. I am celebrated engineer having 33 years of solid productive work experience ( I am not so called labor class ) .. Hence this WORK LIFE balance is stretched too far by present generation people ..
ALL OF YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND MURTHY Ji did NOT TELL YOU WORK 70 hrs in your office . He mentioned you work 40 hrs for your office and do 30 hrs for start up innovative work . And add value to country .
Indians need to be creative, innovative and skilled as also self-employable and hard working to move forward otherwise nothing but downfalls everywhere - this is happening all over the world.
This is a simple logic. India's population is so high => Competetion is high => Job security is less => Therefore you need to ascend to a better post in the company and provide a lot. One way to do this is what Narayana Murthy says. There are other ways also.
China had bigger population than us. But they heavily invested in infrastructure and manufacturing and export. Almost 90% of walmart stuff is from China. Only fruits from are from Thailand, Brazil, US amd Canada. So population is not a factor. Buy a nike 200 dollar shoes. It will say made in veitnam. Wont say india. But buy a bathtowel it will say Made in India or Made in Bangladesh or Egyptian cotton. Rest u will see made in China. This is the reality when you go and purchase something in some Canadian stores. When I was in school I used to get made in USA pencils. I hardly see that today. Its not 70 or 40 that matters but we do with that hrs. And electing qualified people was ministers to rule the nation
I got best ratings 5 when I have not done much but only few times in 26 year of experience . Most of the times I suffered from anxiety and depression because doing things without deep understanding . Deep understanding gives pleasure to an individual . Entire career missed this pleasure . every morning I have to be ready for project status most of the time and what a stress . Companies are very keen on doing these . there is no room for creativity and enjoying . They even teach how to face status meeting .Mohandas pai might be constantly running behind the employees without training employee to develop excellent thinking capabilities . These guys in name in leadership and discipline making a mess in workplace.
Before even gaining knowledge and experience, some want to have work life balance. So much sense of entitlement many suffer from. This happens because of Rights based interests rather than responsibility based interests. Everyone wants their rights to be fulfilled but do not want to take the associated responsibility.
Mr.Bhagat is correct. The 70 hrs Mr.Murthy says is not a hard number at work (get real) but a suggestion which can be spent at work/ self improvement by doing professional development/ personal growth-physical,mental,emotional, supporting family etc.
When a person after reaching height of success, telling our youths to work hard makes sense & now its up to them. Whether to take it or leave it. Moreover no one is forcing.
😀This is precisely what was expected. The handful who understand Mr. Murthy are the ones who have/will change the world. Others like us will be watching the news and debating in comments. However, one thing where he contradicts himself (West vs India) is that the productivity would increase from the youngsters. It won't. There's so much clutter that it's just old school to expect youngsters to suddenly stand and have clarity. The productivity will come from the experienced workforce. Start daycare centers and schools in offices, Reward employees with a secure retirement, and Provide new tech learning opportunities... Basically, let the employees bother less bout their personal commitments and focus on work productivity.
I worked in MNC Power projects for 32 years.. I worked 10-12 hours per day in an avarage including sundays... Who is against Mr Murthy may be the guys who is getting Government Salary
No wonder he co founded a company which earned the dubious distinction of Indian IT professionals referred as cyber coolies Where muscles matter more than talent.
People whose rewards are proportional to work put in will automatically agree with this. Like cab drivers, gig workers, small business men. But people who are being exploited for low wages will disagree with this. I think the reward mechanism in places like Infosys for hardwork is very low.

At some point of time, the rate per hour was around $30 and as the Countries like Philippines, Irelands, Vietnam & Mexico have started supplying man power in these areas, these Companies have to quote very low and hence the service conditions have become equal to these South East Asian countries. Global pressure decides these things. It does not mean our productivity is low. The mute question is Productivity per US$.

Mr Murthy you should also talk about the wages that Indian IT professional are getting and Indian IT sector should focus on innovation rather than services. Yes employees will definitely try to work if they are made the equal share holders of the company and the profits directly benefits the employees.
No contribution to innovation but demand high salaries.
@@anandaprasadaraoappasani1923 You do that. Those guys did what they could and have retired. You want to innovate, do it yourself.
Our problem is futile work. People work hard but end up running in circles. Hard work without a sense of direction and focus is futile waste of water.

But, it is money income for the employers who do not share their success with their employees. Azim Premji is still hold 80%+ of Wipro shares. So also all other IT companies. Even, American Companies like IBM, HP, Accenture have learnt this dirty tricks of not giving Stick Options to employees. Only, European Companies are giving to each & every employees.
Another reality is that Rural students are not having any idea to join the courses in Engineering colleges. The farmers are taking education loan to educate their wards but not knowing whether the Stream they join are going to add to their skill which may come handy with them through their life.
Not everyone who studies gets employed.
@@VenugopalanV-v5x Of course they are holding all the shares. You should have had the guts to take their clients and start your own company. Who told you to keep slogging for low pay? Safety and surety => stagnation and poverty.
Murthy says work like slaves. He does not understand the concept of work life balance. Beyond 40 hours, it’s all personal time. From 41st onwards workout in gym, watch movies, go jogging etc etc. If at all you need to work for your employer beyond that 40 hours threshold, then let company compensate with 1.5x wage loading for every extra hour which is very common in west.
Make it 24 hrs personal time. 😀. Personal time is not d point of discussion. Money oriented lifestyle development process is d issue. More u work , more u get wages. Idle for labour base culture. Simple point .but stupid point in case of development of a nation .
What Murthy said is right. What work life balance are you speaking about..?? When I look at marwari shop.. he opens at 6 am and works till 11 pm.. he earns in 3 days what Infosys guys earns in a whole month. So we need to work more and also we should be equally compensated. Meaning... If Murthy is asking to work 12 hours.. fine.. but salary should be doubled coz lot more sacrifices go in.
Mr! First work properly for 8 hours and then talk 😅
No wonder India is diabetic capital of the world. I know how most Indian IT services companies win the bids. Bid cheaper rates, pay peanuts to the workers, make them work 12 hours a day, pay them for 8 hrs that too very sub standard rates. That’s why when their employees go abroad and get a chance they give no second thought to join a local company of that country and never come back. And we cry big of brain drain. Funny 😄
@@vishwajeetbanerjee3295 your theory is absolutely nonsense. We work in IT and we are handsomely paid. Can you even imagine a 8 year experience guy taking home 1.5 lakhs..?? Any other jobs..?? But IT pays you handsomely and also when we go abroad we make hell lot of money.. our savings will itself be around 2.5 lakhs per month. So if anyone is stressed then they are not managing their day properly. First do exercise, run for 20 mins, stop junk food, stop browsing insta, fb till late night... Everything will be fine. Wake up bro.
Seems he does not know how many hours young people work today, it’s definitely more than 10 hrs and that’s how we are progressing..
The HR hides everything from top management
They manipulated companies with top managers
Hiding lacunae of management abd focusing on employees productivity based on vague methods
Not just Infosys, all India companies are doing that. They are charging huge to their clients (while that huge amount is very less for those clients) and they are paying very less to their employees with that the employers are already indirectly forcing their employees to work beyond 10hrs a day. It's time that Indian employees should demand a strong labor law, companies have already exploited enough, even that 40hrs a week is not followed by anyone. This how companies keep earning billions and employees earn lakhs and go to hospitals. BTW why don't they employ more people instead of doubling their working hours? Doesn't it boost the economy in the same way or doesn't it create more employment or does not India have so much unemployed graduates? Work productivity is low because you are already paying them less and making them work for longer hours already which is already an imbalance of work-life balance, will lead to demotivation. Maybe he wants Indians to become slaves of his son in law! Lol
Exactly! We need strong labor laws for salaried people...this is what I strongly feel after working in corporate myself.

@@angrybird0987 Come to reality Mr boomer! Am not low in thinking the above statement said by Infosys employees itself 😂 Am already an entrepreneur and not a corporate slaves ! Go consult a psychiatrist who advises not to work for more than 8 hrs. Youth of this nation are ready to work for above 10 hrs only if they increase their salary hike and not for peanuts in this highly inflated economy !! Infosys increased CEO remuneration from 42 crores to 79 crores after laying off 1000's of employees last year! Such a great company slowly dying. Each year nearly 1.50 lakhs people leaving India one of the reason is this great exploitation
Within 70 hours, breaks for lunch, breakfast, snacks and idle chit chat, pointless meetings is also counted so this can also be minimised. Most people do around 3 - 4 hours of real focussed work per day. If you can increase this to 7 - 8 hours it's good.

I think the employees of Infosys will be more than willing to work for 70 hours, if Mr. Murthy is willing to share the profits and the stock of the company with his employees. Where is the growth, when the employee is exploited to gain more profit for the company and the profit is passed on to his children of the employer. The talent of the young India is exploited by the corporate world, paying peanuts. The corporate colossal Mr. Murthy wants to exploit them more.
U r free to leave and join more lucrative charity organization.
I would assume that the employees of Infosys ARE more than willing to work 70 hours. And good for them!

@@narenmenon6906infosys should hire more people to increase productivity. Narayan Murthy has given more money to his daughter than what British queen has
Mohandas psi, the number of times you said I don’t care I don’t care shows how much your engagement in infosys HR has impacted your life😂
Indian IT companies essentially are bodyshopping i-e providing resources (bodies) and charging overseas clients ($25, 30, 35 per hour). They don't care about any productivity. All they want to see is their resources putting in more hours so they can charge their overseas clients. This serves the IT business owners in boosting their profits. Indian IT companies are hiring substandard engineers (what you pay is what you get), and their billionaire owners are asking them to work more without compensating accordingly, which is absurd and shameful. Of course, I agree that working harder will eventually benefit anyone no matter how productive they are. However, not those people who work in IT companies. Pai is talking utter nonsense just look at his attitude how impolite he is with the anchor.
The greedy corporates should be punished for what they done for the working class in the past …
A person's life has many dimensions - he has to devote time to all of them. First and foremost is the spiritual dimension - prayer and mediation etc. Next comes work and family. Then his personal needs such as rest, relaxation, food and sleep. The advice given by these business stalwarts to devote 42% of the week to work is totally out of tune with reality. Their hidden purpose behind this advice is to create a gang of slaves who will toil for these magnates so that the magnates can add to their already swollen bank balances. Narayana Murthy has admitted that he could devote hardly any time to the upbringing of his daughter because he was so busy with work, As a result his daughter Akshata was brought up virtually by her mother and never received the care due from a father to his child. All these people who advocate such slavish work hours are those who have sold themselves to the pursuit of wealth at the expense of other areas of living.

It is not about how many hours you put in. It is how to work smart. People need to be disciplined at work, learn new skills, work efficiently and produce quality work. Also employees have to bear in mind the company's values, mission and goals.
I have observed people working slow with no enthusiasm and stretching hours of work to look good in the eyes of management. Not a good sign.
Can't fool the boss. eh?
If you work 70 hours a week, you will become cross-eyed like Narayana Murty.
To Chetan Bhagat's point: yes, working 7 hrs with focus is probably better than working 14 hrs without focus. But working 14 hrs with focus is better than working 7 hrs with focus. I believe that is what Murthy meant.
Try 14 hours with focus scientifically proven hae human utna focus ho hae nahi skta.
Different people have different goals in life. For someone who wants to be financially successful, his words makes sense. For people who want work life balance or pursue their own interests, they wouldn't want to spend so much time in office.
Inhuman attitude .....no wonder youth are having heart attacks in their 40s...😢
It's high time we demand 30 work hrs week. This should become main elecoral topic. We should vote only that party which promised to implement 30 hr week.
Work is part of life. It is not one's whole life. There are other equally & more important and varied dimensions in life. I have worked for 12 hours a day in my young days as a bachelor.
I just couldn't put up with the physical & mental stress. My energy & personal aspirations in life were sapped. I kept sleeping after work hours.
This is what is happening exactly in Japan. Overworked youngsters are reticent to get married & found sleeping in metro while in travel. Its effect on family dynamics would be incomprehensible & deleterious.
Why is the onus only on “Youngsters” to work 70 hours to build the economy of the nation? I ll tell you why . Because they want to get a lot of work done and earn shitt loads of money for peanuts(literally nothing)! Youngsters don’t know their value, can be easily exploited, don’t yet know the office politics etc etc .
Dear Youngsters, Work hard for yourself NOT for these greedy bastards !
Give the salary for 70 hour.we are ready to work
Mohandas brought in iRace which impacted employees adversely. He made money for him and left silently when ignored for CEO role.
In most IT companies, employees work more than 70 hours. They don't count the travel time, overtime, phone calls from home, work that is done from home on Saturday & Sunday.
He has no work now. Murthy made his money. At his senile age, wonder why he did not say 100 hours a week.
Smart work is better than just Hard work..
I need to show this video to my dad who used to sleep only for 4 hrs during his struggling days.
Narayan Murthy sir even youngsters have to rest they have depressions anxiety stress in it companies have family to look after
I agree with Mr. Murthy,
I work 84 hrs a week, and I don't feel stress. It's only possible because I love my job.
I think those who are against Mr. Murthy are "lazy employees" who does job only for money not for interest.
job should be done with interest, without interest every minute is stressful.
Shut up kid
The youth must not burn out. They must work on improving themselves, do their best, enhance their creativity, upgrade their skills, passionately follow their dreams. and lead a quality life with family and friends. This is that will improve productivity but not slog for a few ppl'sl profits. Balance is very important otherwise the country will deal with health issues. But at the same time youth must not waste their time on unnecessary things , self gratification, and become lazy.. Narayan Murthy should have said that today's youth must find a purpose for themselves and devote to it and think big. Whether employed or entrepreneur. That would be more inspiring to the youth. He should've worded himself better, having so much of experience. If you want to connect with the youth, speak in a manner that resonates with them,.
Exactly. ❤

Whether Mohandas Pai himself ever worked for 70 hrs a week?! Imperialism!!
A very balanced view from Chetan, appreciated👏….in this modern era we can be productive and work on building nation at the same time can have work life balance
Mohandas Pai acted like a bully. Was in the defensive right from go. And his 'I don't care...' showed that he wasn't willing to listen to any other points of view. Full of himself. No leadership qualities. Just wondering what a bully he must have been as a leader. Also showed no respect for the anchor. Really appreciate her for how well she handled him. For all his rant against youngsters, here the youngster came out on top. Chetan Bhagat was on point. Very thoughtful and well reasoned arguments. Would have been a much more capable and empathetic leader.
He just behaved like old school budha traditional enforcer
For some time am seeing lots of views expressed by the two highly respected gentlemen on many topics or issues. There should be no problem for young to work 70 hour weeks so long as the company pays them as per the no of hours put in.
you are not understanding the cause and effect by such no of hours applied..
Just 8 hours a day with proper plan is more than enough for anyone. Adding more hours could decrease productivity. If we want to work for 80 hours then add another batch and provide employment for indians.
Being from IT consulting industry implemented over 35+ projects, I can say hours is way over rated. Projects are carelessly executed, especially at requirement stage in the USA, so most work is just corrections and design changes though they could have been fixed earlier at design stage. Also, poor source control, overwrites and deployment issues leading to long hours. Only small amount productive. Very poor advise. Instead stronger physically and active individuals turn out more work in shorter time. A disciplined persona ne society healthy in all aspects is what's needed, not long hours. Also, most project have very little work 70% of the time. And huge load at the end of the project. This will punish efficiency and promote poor performance.

The younger generation may not be lazy but definitely they are distracted. Internet is one of the culprits. Working hard will not kill anyone. Young people should work hard. Number of hours, I do not know. But people who put in many hours at work will be successful.
After Engineering I worked day and night on a job where managers didn’t care about my health or improving my skill sets. They utilised my by giving hopes at I worked at salary of 15000 rs per month. And then I project went away and I went on bench. Nobody cared what I did. Then I resigned.
Perfect advice for those whose revenue is based on man hour billing. For the rest of us we work when motivated and when we have an objective or goal. Then it does not matter how many hours are needed. But is your job motivational? There has to be a sense of ownership and sense of belonging.

Fully agree with you. Dr. Man Singh, the Executive VP in Cisco, who hold many Patents, once said that Innovation does not happen between 9 to 5. But, we all know that Mr. NRN is not talking about this aspect when he says 70 hours work a week. Infosys is a Land Mafia apart from being exploitative. Had US did not impose any Visa restrictions in the late 90s, Indian Companies like Infosys would still be a Body-shopping companies.
There is something called work/ life balance .
If the wages in india were hourly , no employer would ask for 70 hour work shifts.

I think the youth are more than willing to put in 70+ hours a week. What's lacking is the direction from the senior workforce and management to properly channel the youth's enthusiasm such that it produces the right results. You can't expect a fresher to know the right things to do to achieve this, it has to come from senior management and administration. Murthy and others of his kind should focus on this aspect, rather that dumping all the blame and responsibility on the shoulders of the youth. They have enough troubles to deal with, largely thanks to systems and processes that were put in place by the previous generations. Blaming it all on laziness is just a very lazy thing to do.

Mr Pai, with all due respect, I'm not sure if you are looking at younger generation today. They are far more intellectual, interesting and think things out of the box. At 20,I remember working gor more than usual hour as I wanted to learn more and progress, that said my situation isn't the same as someone who's 21 today. Organisations have incentivise productivity instead of asking someone to put in 70 hours of effort to which they wont reap any benefit. What is so Unfortunate is that this comes from the most revered NM sir. I feel things are either taken out of context or something seems to be misplaced here... working 70 hours a week will decrease productivity in 2023. Please, you are living in 2023 not in 1990.
I absolutely agree with NarayanMurthy , MohanDas Pai and Chetan Bhagat too. If the current Gen don’t realise that the reason that they are talking about a work life balance today is because their parents have worked their butt off to put food , shelter, education and clothes on them. It’s irony of life that they are complaining about a work line balance
True our parents worked real hard and I’m sure this generation look up to them. But please don’t dismiss the young generation to say that they are complaining about long hours of work.

New generation people want 3 bedroom Indepdent house and BMW car and foreign tour before 30 years -- Their Parents got own house in their 50s.. When the question of productivity comes , every one says WORK LIFE balance as bogie .. Is there any need to go to Mall every week end ?. Is there any need to celebrate every FRIDAY as if Saturday and Sunday world will come to a Halt and restarting on Monday morning ?. This TGIF culture came from West is too bad .. I personally worked even on Sunday as our weekly one day off was on Monday ( Power outage on Monday in the Industrial area I worked) .. I am celebrated engineer having 33 years of solid productive work experience ( I am not so called labor class ) .. Hence this WORK LIFE balance is stretched too far by present generation people ..
ALL OF YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND MURTHY Ji did NOT TELL YOU WORK 70 hrs in your office . He mentioned you work 40 hrs for your office and do 30 hrs for start up innovative work . And add value to country .
Indians need to be creative, innovative and skilled as also self-employable and hard working to move forward otherwise nothing but downfalls everywhere - this is happening all over the world.
This is a simple logic. India's population is so high => Competetion is high => Job security is less => Therefore you need to ascend to a better post in the company and provide a lot. One way to do this is what Narayana Murthy says. There are other ways also.
True.but Nmurty is misguiding. Lots of jobs hv no future. Murti is dinosours for today's world. Less he speaks sounds better.
China had bigger population than us. But they heavily invested in infrastructure and manufacturing and export. Almost 90% of walmart stuff is from China. Only fruits from are from Thailand, Brazil, US amd Canada. So population is not a factor. Buy a nike 200 dollar shoes. It will say made in veitnam. Wont say india. But buy a bathtowel it will say Made in India or Made in Bangladesh or Egyptian cotton. Rest u will see made in China. This is the reality when you go and purchase something in some Canadian stores. When I was in school I used to get made in USA pencils. I hardly see that today. Its not 70 or 40 that matters but we do with that hrs. And electing qualified people was ministers to rule the nation
For a company whose business is renting out people is obviously going to say they work more so his pocket gets overfilled

Work for 70 hours. But in Google. Or in Amazon. Or somewhere it's rewarding. Not in Infosys or TCS.
Before even gaining knowledge and experience, some want to have work life balance. So much sense of entitlement many suffer from. This happens because of Rights based interests rather than responsibility based interests. Everyone wants their rights to be fulfilled but do not want to take the associated responsibility.
Exactly .. 👍👍,
Mr.Bhagat is correct. The 70 hrs Mr.Murthy says is not a hard number at work (get real) but a suggestion which can be spent at work/ self improvement by doing professional development/ personal growth-physical,mental,emotional, supporting family etc.
When a person after reaching height of success, telling our youths to work hard makes sense & now its up to them. Whether to take it or leave it. Moreover no one is forcing.
Youngsters should volunteer, but the company execs should gobble up all the money.
😀This is precisely what was expected. The handful who understand Mr. Murthy are the ones who have/will change the world. Others like us will be watching the news and debating in comments. However, one thing where he contradicts himself (West vs India) is that the productivity would increase from the youngsters. It won't. There's so much clutter that it's just old school to expect youngsters to suddenly stand and have clarity. The productivity will come from the experienced workforce. Start daycare centers and schools in offices, Reward employees with a secure retirement, and Provide new tech learning opportunities... Basically, let the employees bother less bout their personal commitments and focus on work productivity.

You are a man and must have a wife who did most of housework and childcare. She must have been happy you were gone 12 hours. Good riddance
Those who are supporting 70 hours work should start working 70 hours instead of just discussing it.
No wonder he co founded a company which earned the dubious distinction of Indian IT professionals referred as cyber coolies Where muscles matter more than talent.
I still remember childhood statement:
Dont work hard instead work smart.
Extending: Increase employment, reduce bribing politicians.
People whose rewards are proportional to work put in will automatically agree with this. Like cab drivers, gig workers, small business men. But people who are being exploited for low wages will disagree with this. I think the reward mechanism in places like Infosys for hardwork is very low.
Why people choose to work just 40 hours is because they don't get vacation when the family needs it.
Mr Pai is correct about putting in hard work. But that generalisation about Government servants don't have to work hard doesn't behove his stature.
