Respected Madam, I respect you from the bottom of my heart. I request you to not to upload videos on such topic. You are unnecessary giving importance to a daily wage labour, who thinks like an OX 🐂. No need to counter him. Basically, such videos becomes a talking point for common people. He is a political man & gives political statements. THIS PARTICULAR STATEMENT WAS JUST TO DIVERT THE EYESIGHT OF THE NATION FROM "HUGE UNEMPLOYMENT", WHICH INDIA IS FACING!
If a person is building his own house he/she will definitely put blood and sweat efforts. But why would someone give their life for someone else to become rich.. Specially if wages are low.

Almost everyone agrees this culture is bad and it has negative affect on mental health and family life, but no one wants to change it. Success of Japan is not due to its long working hours, but due to *honest approach to work, and attention to detail of Japanese people* . I urge you to go to Japan and experience it first hand.
All these billionaires wants the employees to work 70-80 hrs so that they can use the profits to host 5000 Crore Shaadis and private jets and mansions for themselves giving employees peanuts with major part of it going in taxes.
Agree with you 100%. One must not forget that Narayan Murthy, Narendra Modi or Elon Musk, worked for themselves, not for someone. In my opinion Narayan Murthy is now senile and should now enjoy his wealth at a retirement island maybe and let the workforce find its own work life balance.
They all are telling lie. No one can work for 100 hrs or evn 60 hours productively and efficiently. Only rare no. Of people on this earth have that capability for certain period of life only.
What everyone conveniently sweeps under the rug is this: you can’t measure an employee on the same scale as a founder. An employee signs up for a job-agreed salary, fixed hours, and deliverables. A founder? They’re on a self-inflicted, high-risk-high-reward rollercoaster. If they’re clocking 200 hours a week, that’s a personal choice. No one’s holding a gun to their head. The health risks? Their problem. The monetary rewards if they hit unicorn status? All theirs too. Fair and square. But if you’re expecting employees to grind like a founder, you better back it up with founder-level perks. Equity? Massive rewards? A piece of that unicorn pie? Otherwise, you can’t have your cake, eat it too, and then demand employees bake you another one.
Do u know even after 20+ years of the company running their basic salary/m is 22k can u live in that & payback ur education loan don't think of enjoying on it
Much of the valuation of a company comes from output and creativity of the employees. Why should the monetary awards go only to the founder or shareholders?
This kind of toxic work culture has led to a massive brain drain in the country. What kind of nation building can you expect when you lose your best and brightest every year? You live one life people should have full right to enjoy life outside of work. I feel this country is being run down by a bunch of old out of touch people at every level, be it government or private establishments, can’t wait for most of these people to eventually run their course and hopefully some younger people will take things forward positively, wealth of India’s youth is wasted in the hands of the old.
Peop[e like Ashneer Grover are not "old, out of touch people". Some of the crappiest slave drivers are brat "founders" in their 20's and 30's. Get your facts right.
N M is used to doing twice the work. He has 2 desktops on his office table, with 2 pairs of keyboards and mouses. And he works simultaneous 8 hours with right eye and 8 hours with his left eye. His ancestors from andromeda Galaxy, also did so.
Zero, and guess what his grandson will go on to live an luxury life, study abroad and come back to india, start a business with already built up money and ask indians to work 84hrs a week 🤣
Murthy is useless in this aspect. Don't they have family life Going and returning itself takes 2 to 3 hours then eating and sleeping. How will their productive improve Already work at home culture is teasing and torcher.What Mam has said is correct. Bjp
Salute to you mam for speaking straight to the point. It takes lot of courage to counter the thoughts of influential/powerful people. Respect for you mam.
Very rightly said... We are not addressing the real issue of our India. The real issue is not about how many hours we work rather right skills are given to our students, good infrastructure, good logistics etc. We have the most committed youth workers in the world but paid the least...
Half hour is spent every day planning for demonetisation, GST implantation, attacking Pakistan evading radar through clouds, buying MP's and MLA's with PM-Care, quid pro quo for money in Electoral Bond, new Hindu-Muslim agenda, divide and rule, unplanned Covid lock down, and acting in front of camera.
The strong writing of this 9 minute video, blew my mind. So clearly put and explained. Ironic how capitalists be talking about national development while paying pennies on the name of salaries to the people of that "nation"
Narayana Murthy is often accused of exploiting Indian youth with Infosys' crazy work culture. People feel it’s all about making profits without caring about work-life balance. But he has no choice but to support BJP's propaganda because if he doesn’t, he might have to give up his business.
As he mentioned in an interview, he may have worked for 61/2 days a week as he was building a company but telling his employees to do the same for the meagre salary he's paying is not adding up and if he still wants them to work for such long hours, will he share the profits of Infosys with his own colleagues for building a better nation? He won't and that's technically a modern slavery. "Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live" - Oscar Wilde
On one side countries like Japan and Korea are implementing sleep break between school/work hours for students/employees to improve the human life quality as well as the productivity. But here's this old man Narayan Murthy paying 3.5LPA for 75 hours/week work.
That's exactly how that works. Self less dedicated grinders create companies that their viewpoints are so skewed and won't represent the majority. They are just successful anomalies.
Narayan Muthy's reiteration about 70 hours work a week: Is it to reduce the number of workers/employees, thus to reduce the overall pay bill of the organidation evrey month, so that more money saved for the corporate bosses? What India needs is less number of working hours, engaging more unemployed, but qualified youth, so that overall unemployment problem is resolved to some extent, if not fully. Thus, more people will be able to work in India, feeding their families families in an honest and dignified manner. In the process, freebies from the power-mongering politicians can be refused and the people can elect politicians who are sincere to serve them. Pocketing of the wealth of the nation by a few greedy politicians and corporates, cheating the people for votes, can be put an end to by showing them the door, way out.
I think that he has lost his marbles...on the one hand that we hear of people committing suicides because they were overworked..on the other we hear this man say that we common citizens need to work more so that we build the nation...what about him...why not part with some of that wealth and contribute to nation building..
8 - 8 - 8 assumes only 8 hours work. However in many cities, there's travel time of around 2 hours to/from office, which goes out of 'personal' or 'rest' time. In a few like Mumbai, NCR and Bangalore this travel time can be as much as 4-4.5 hours. The fact also is today, there is significant 'mobile' time during the work hours, which adversely affects productivity If the employees are allowed to participate in the risks and rewards of the founders as co-owners, there will be a significant growth in productivity, without having to even discuss work hours. The key is to democratise employment and turn employees into co-owners and entrepreneurs. Keep fixed payment low and provide a significant opportunity to increase variable pay and wealth.
The timing to call this statements are peculiar, if you observe. These 70 hour work week statement comes when there is a news on highest retail inflation. Distraction tactics. So, that the conversation of salary hike goes out of the window.
People are busy making Hindutva Nation successful.. No time for Nation building talked in the video.. divide and rule is working successfully again in India.. don’t know when India will again get its freedom from divide and Rule. No one is working towards making India strong from its roots. freedom fighters dream of free India, we have crushed it. Nowadays people are busy digging for their own grave.
If we were to convert monthly salaries to hourly rates, doubling the rate for hours exceeding 9 or 10, I believe a significant portion of India's workforce would be willing to work more than 50 hours a week.
He lost his respect by taking PM Modi as example for hard working .. who never worked in his life time.. and the one who begged to survive himself.. shame on u mister Narayan swamy..
In Bangalore people waste an average of 2 hours in traveling, we have the worst infrastructure in India (I think all Indian cities has similar kind of worst Infrastructure). Did he even bothered to point it out? did he ever questioned state administration? Bangalore metro is already 3 years behind schedule, any question? Personally we loose so much to earn salary, run family, pay bills/EMI . . . above all we pay 30% Income tax . . . What we get? Worst Infrastructure (Entire India is a slum, with some exceptions), performance pressure. I am looking for job in middle east.
Worked in a bank for thirty four years- except for four years, was in branches and we worked an average of about nine hours a day and five hours or more on saturdays. This does not include working from ten AM to three AM AND going back to work at ten AM for a few days during annual closing (pre-computer) I put this much work for my salary and from a loyalry to our Founder. Hypothetically, would NaMu have done it for his salary alone?
Haaa haaa murty is a crazy fellow, I wish Sudha Murthy should make some statement otherwise they will look hand in glove together, & will hurt her prestige of a sensitive woman.
If you've heard her talk before - she has been open about making sure the home environment is good for him - because he cannot handle it. So, this is why he doesn't understand work life balance - because he never had to do the 'life' part
Dear News Minute editors. Please make a video about delimitation in the parliament and how badly it will affect South Indian states. Because if nothing changes, it is bound to happen.
Mr Narayan Murthy should consider this : most people would be happy enough to have a good job for 40 hours. 70 hours may be necessary for persons with people who feel driven to achieve high.
8:47, Unfortunately we have a feudal culture in India where "workers" are seen as inferior and hence don't deserve any facilities that could make their lives comfortable cause they will cause the worker to be "distracted"... Hence absolutely no investment targeted at giving workers better tools or better working conditions ever happens... Eg: Pretty much every office or factory which has AC in the work spaces has only installed them to protect the equipments and not for employee/worker comfort...
Wow what an amazing coverage on this topic... plain straight simple yet to a great depth .. who is Narayana Murthy.... Just an entrepreneur but not an labour movement leader. ignore him or let him work in factories than he will know the pain. He can't release irresponsible statements He got money and power but He is not Gandhi to respect his words
Listen guys, many are talking about the low wages.. even if you get lakhs and lakhs of amount as salary for working more hours, you'll end up in spending all those money for your hospital bills in future and there is nothing called a family to look after you since you didn't spend valuable time with then... Indian labor law already has many loop holes in it.. now with a corporate friendly government anything can happen 💀
Tell him to talk to a psychiatrist first! He is turning India into a mentally exhausted country. Someone, please tell him not to give unsolicited advice-it's our life. If India really wants to progress, hire more employees instead of making one person work double shifts. We don’t need that kind of money.
Ignore people who made India back office hub and killed value of science and engineering education.....move on... ignoring is more powerful than reacting
In 86 if you just stare at an excel sheet for a Month(320 Hours) and edit it for an hour you can walk home with a decent salary, Not like today where every week there is a new release in Technology (security, cloud, patches, new features, distributed computing) not like in 86 where you have to save an excel sheet to C drive :-)
His daughter does nothing. Just raid the dividends and then avoids paying any tax. The guy is a crook, that’s how he made his money. Used the well educated engineer from India at a farthing of the cost abroad. Pure and pure sweat shop runner
Incredible narration and it's a lesson too to our capitalist entrepreneur, burdening workers with less payments and more hours of work never serve nation building, but enhance exploitation. Thanks Puja for such a unique presentation. ❤
After a very long time, a TNM story I can fully agree with. 😊 Please focus on real issues like inflation, crony capitalism, wealth inequality, etc. instead of identity issues that aggravate human insecurities.
You are very correct Pooja mam. 70hours a week is too long. Work is important to reach greater heights in the corporate industry. But work life balance and health is very important. Honourable Narayana Murthy the iconic IT legend is certainly wrong in this regard. We are very hard working.
Narayan Murthy should think before making any comments. The West and US are far ahead of us despite working for less hours. The amount of work and productivity matters not the hours we spend in the office. Narayan Murthy is from old school where the only thing that mattered was amount of time spent in the office. We Indians will remain behind unless we change the way we think and work.
Murthy says we need to work like post-war Germany or China’s 996(9 am to 9 pm 6 days week). But let’s be real-half of us can’t survive one extra hour past 5 p.m., let alone 70 hours a week. Germany rebuilt, we reboot Netflix.
Good topic. If Murthy works for 70 hours, the benefit goes to him in terms of higher profits. What does the poor techie get. Murthy travels back home in a chauffeur driven AC car and reaches home in may be 20 to 30 minutes. And the poor techie has to commute 2 hours or more to reach home. What about the time spent on commute. A techie spends 20 to 25 hours per week on the road. Should we not add this also to the weekly hours. In a place like Mumbai, the top guys live in Nariman Point, Cuffe Parade etc which are minutes away from the work place. Poor mumbaikar has to travel to Borivali and beyond in overcrowded trains. Who accounts for that?

Worked in a bank for thirty four years- except for four years, was in branches and we worked an average of about nine hours a day and five hours or more on saturdays. This does not include working from ten AM to three AM AND going back to work at ten AM for a few days during annual closing (pre-computer) I put this much work for my salary and from a loyalry to our Founder. Hypothetically, would NaMu have done it for his salary alone?
Mr. Murthy is an idiot. I don't think 8 hrs should be the norm 5 hour work for 4 days a week is sufficient given the lack of infrastructure.
He is chakna narayan not Mr Murthy
He is not an idiot..he is a capitalist who wants to exploit the youth to make him and his family richer in the name of nationalism
Take a pay cut also voluntarily.
With all due respect, lok 60 ke baad sathiya jate hai. No offence.
Haaa haaa murty is a crazy fellow, I wish Sudha Murthy should make some statement otherwise they will look hand in glove together, & will hurt her prestige of a sensitive woman.
If you've heard her talk before - she has been open about making sure the home environment is good for him - because he cannot handle it.
So, this is why he doesn't understand work life balance - because he never had to do the 'life' part
Kudos to you lady.. Thanks for standing up
Perfect....he feels as if he is "working"....but he is doing nothing when compared to any normal or common man who is serving the nation.
Dear News Minute editors.
Please make a video about delimitation in the parliament and how badly it will affect South Indian states. Because if nothing changes, it is bound to happen.
It's an important subject. Please consider.
As a fresher, I am willing to work 70 hours per week if the institute offers a salary of ₹2 lakh per month (in hand) along with all other benefits.
Mr Narayan Murthy should consider this : most people would be happy enough to have a good job for 40 hours. 70 hours may be necessary for persons with people who feel driven to achieve high.
He has never said .... let us distribute our excess wealth as bonuses
8:47, Unfortunately we have a feudal culture in India where "workers" are seen as inferior and hence don't deserve any facilities that could make their lives comfortable cause they will cause the worker to be "distracted"... Hence absolutely no investment targeted at giving workers better tools or better working conditions ever happens... Eg: Pretty much every office or factory which has AC in the work spaces has only installed them to protect the equipments and not for employee/worker comfort...
Wow what an amazing coverage on this topic...
plain straight simple yet to a great depth ..
who is Narayana Murthy....
Just an entrepreneur but not an labour movement leader.
ignore him or let him work in factories than he will know the pain.
He can't release irresponsible statements
He got money and power
but He is not Gandhi to respect his words
Thank you
I like this channel's content....
What work are they doing when the country is going down day by day
Sustainability is something, nobody thinks about. Neither in terms of society nor in terms of exploitation of nature.
True we gotta think in long term.
Listen guys, many are talking about the low wages.. even if you get lakhs and lakhs of amount as salary for working more hours, you'll end up in spending all those money for your hospital bills in future and there is nothing called a family to look after you since you didn't spend valuable time with then...
Indian labor law already has many loop holes in it.. now with a corporate friendly government anything can happen 💀
I travel 3 hours for work. sometimes 4
Yes, work-life balance always should be there. No one has to compromise their life because of their work.
Tell him to talk to a psychiatrist first! He is turning India into a mentally exhausted country. Someone, please tell him not to give unsolicited advice-it's our life. If India really wants to progress, hire more employees instead of making one person work double shifts. We don’t need that kind of money.
Ignore people who made India back office hub and killed value of science and engineering education.....move on... ignoring is more powerful than reacting
In 86 if you just stare at an excel sheet for a Month(320 Hours) and edit it for an hour you can walk home with a decent salary,
Not like today where every week there is a new release in Technology (security, cloud, patches, new features, distributed computing) not like in 86 where you have to save an excel sheet to C drive :-)
His daughter does nothing. Just raid the dividends and then avoids paying any tax. The guy is a crook, that’s how he made his money. Used the well educated engineer from India at a farthing of the cost abroad. Pure and pure sweat shop runner
Let Narayana Murthy travel by bus and local train, instead of air-conditioned car and survive on Rs 12,000 a month salary.
Incredible narration and it's a lesson too to our capitalist entrepreneur, burdening workers with less payments and more hours of work never serve nation building, but enhance exploitation. Thanks Puja for such a unique presentation. ❤
Tell him to tell his son Rohan and daughter Akshata to work 70 hours a week.
To build nation, that too 😂
As always ... very insightful
Excellent video on this subject! Good job calling him out.
After a very long time, a TNM story I can fully agree with. 😊
Please focus on real issues like inflation, crony capitalism, wealth inequality, etc. instead of identity issues that aggravate human insecurities.
Thank you Pooja Prasanna for your "Let me explain"
You are very correct Pooja mam. 70hours a week is too long. Work is important to reach greater heights in the corporate industry. But work life balance and health is very important. Honourable Narayana Murthy the iconic IT legend is certainly wrong in this regard. We are very hard working.
Indians need to work more in the 48 hours not more hours
We just not working efficiently
He forgot that he worked as owner of the company nit as employee with minimum salary.. everybody is not bound to do it
IT Sweatshops and Narayanamurthy is obviously doubling down so he can extract more labor for pennies on the dollar. Shame on him.
Narayan Murthy should think before making any comments. The West and US are far ahead of us despite working for less hours. The amount of work and productivity matters not the hours we spend in the office. Narayan Murthy is from old school where the only thing that mattered was amount of time spent in the office. We Indians will remain behind unless we change the way we think and work.
You have clearly explained, kudos. Great going !!
Well argued and well articulated. Its a perspective which perhaps has not been presented before.👍
Even an hour above the peak working hours of 7-8 per day will lead to a decrease in productivity.
Working harder and longer is a personal choice. But our honourable PM wouldn't be an inspiration for me. Because the output quality counts.
Let Narayana Murthy give 55% of his company share to his company employee then they will also work 90hours
Sleep.- 8 hours
Work - 8 hours
Others - 8 hours
Noone wants employees to go into cardiac arrest in their 40s
Next they will demand 98 hours a week
Murthy says we need to work like post-war Germany or China’s 996(9 am to 9 pm 6 days week). But let’s be real-half of us can’t survive one extra hour past 5 p.m., let alone 70 hours a week. Germany rebuilt, we reboot Netflix.
The quality of work needs more importance. Number of hours cannot be the criterion.
how much of his money went to lobbying his unqualified son in law to the UK parliment?
Good topic. If Murthy works for 70 hours, the benefit goes to him in terms of higher profits. What does the poor techie get.
Murthy travels back home in a chauffeur driven AC car and reaches home in may be 20 to 30 minutes. And the poor techie has to commute 2 hours or more to reach home. What about the time spent on commute. A techie spends 20 to 25 hours per week on the road. Should we not add this also to the weekly hours.
In a place like Mumbai, the top guys live in Nariman Point, Cuffe Parade etc which are minutes away from the work place.
Poor mumbaikar has to travel to Borivali and beyond in overcrowded trains. Who accounts for that?
He’s one of the rich Kanjusis in India.
