In a recent podcast, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal reiterated his support for Narayana Murthy’s controversial advice advocating a 70-hour work week, despite facing criticism on social media. Aggarwal expressed his belief that such dedication is necessary to propel India towards becoming a global leader in economic stature.
“When Mr. Murthy said that (70-hour work week), I was publicly in support of that and I got trolled on social media for that. But, I don’t care because I have a strong belief that one generation will have to do tapasya… so that we can build the number 1 country in the world, the largest economy,” Aggarwal stated during the podcast.
Dismissing the notion of work-life balance, Aggarwal argued that true happiness arises from enjoying one’s work, thereby achieving harmony between personal satisfaction and professional success.
Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys, initially sparked debate with his assertion that young Indians need to dedicate long hours of work to compete effectively on the global stage. Defending his stance, Murthy emphasized his own rigorous work ethic throughout his career, citing his commitment to public service and societal improvement as motivations.
“I used to work 85-90 hours a week till I retired. Therefore, my view has always been that those of us in India who have received so much benefit from the country have an enormous responsibility to work very hard to bring a chance for the betterment of life of the poorer sections of the society,” Murthy explained.
