After Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy suggested that young people should work at least 70 hours a week or 12 hours every day to succeed and boost the country’s economy, the topic of work-life balance became a hot debate. While most people criticised Murthy’s statement, a few supported him. Recently, Gautam Adani, the founder and chairman of Adani Group, shared his views on the subject. The billionaire said that if a person enjoys their work, they’ll naturally be able to achieve balance in life. He also mentioned that everyone has their way of working and living life, and no one should try to impose their ideas on others.
As per ANI, in a recent press conference, Adani said, “If you do what makes you happy, that’s your work-life balance. Don’t impose your work-life balance on me and I shouldn’t impose my work-life balance on you. All you need to focus on is whether you’re spending four hours with your family and enjoying it. If someone else spends eight hours and enjoys it, that’s their balance. If someone spends eight hours at work, their wife might run away. The key is to see how much time you can take out for your family and if you’re happy with it and your family is happy, then it’s fine.”
While appearing on Mohandas Pai’s The Record podcast in 2023, Narayana Murthy said, “In the last 300 years, India has received some respect in the eyes of the committee of nations. It is the responsibility of every Indian but more, so the youth to consolidate that respect and to enhance that respect. I have said many times before, that the only way the world will respect anybody is performance. That’s where I often used to say performance leads to recognition, recognition leads to respect and respect leads to power. China is a great example. Therefore, my request to all the wonderful youth of this country is that realize this and work 12-hour days for the next 20 years, 50 years, so that India becomes a number one nation or number two nation. There is an urgent need for our youth to focus on this.”
People, including Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal, have supported Narayana Murthy’s perspective.
