First time namita has spoken and yes what a beautiful thought, just so called founders don't understand that........ My cousin sister works for lakme she works like 16-17 hours per day gets minimal 15000 since last 4 years......her qualification is 12 th, was good in studies but could not continue because of her fathers death and so dear all founders you are not hard working you are just lucky accept that and stop exploitation please 🙏you sleep on money not us
Anupam is wrong, our generation has gone through a life changing event which was Covid and we realised that work life balance is so important. It is just the family that matters with our loved ones could die at the drop of a hat and no amount of money helped.
Alright, this is a great conversation. I am still listening to this as it unfolds itself. Full disclosure - I am from an IIT, came for my master's immediately after BTech in the US, and have worked in Fintech in New York for the past 8 years. I have an excellent working culture. You can say life has worked out for me, but I want to share something plainly evident to me now. India's working culture is not comparable to that of the US. Vineeta's statement that she works 70 hours a week should not be considered reasonable. It is not at all to be thought of as a benchmark! I loved Namita's answer that founders have more reasons to work harder than employees, for an employee takes a fixed salary. Her point that parents' ought to have a life outside of work-at least for the next generation is TRUE! This was so humane and should be part of a team's culture, irrespective of how hard the founder works! A founder's stakes are higher than an employee's, and the company's culture builders should know that of 10,000 (say) people that work in a company, 9999(+-few) of them are employees, so the culture ought to represent them, and not the founder lol! For the point that Anupam raised on building character in the initial years of one's career, it does make sense from a personal perspective since I have done precisely that, and it works. Early in one's career, one has to work hard so that one can know one's own strengths. Later, one can build an online business out of those strengths if one wants to. He is spot on! However, it should not be used as a metric to derive a company's culture, for God's sake! It is a very personal ideology to push hard, but the culture should have reasonable limits closer to what Namita suggested in her answer to absentee parents! This is where the difference between India's and the US' working culture comes in. Here, too, I saw my fellow Indians (including myself) work really hard, but my American and European counterparts worked reasonable hours. Alright, we got the fucking promotion - but oh shit - look at these people's personalities, for God's sake. They go skiing in the winters in the Alps, sailing in the summers in the Caribbean, and, to be honest, are living a fucking life! But they also get a reasonable amount of work done - without forsaking themselves. This is a trait that we Indians ought to learn and then make it a part of the culture next. And this trait is called - get your work done without being a slave! I will comment more - right now, at 30 minutes of this. But I will say this - keep your physical and mental well-being intact post-30s. Vineeta's life might be great for her since she loves her work. But heck, the world is big; earn enough money initially, get a Royal Enfield Himalayan, and fucking travel the world and record your journey on UA-cam and let the algorithm Gods award you. But fucking stay away from taxing yourself for a company that thinks hustle is the norm. If you need it initially when you are just a new grad, yes, go for it, and learn every God Damn Thing, but fuck yeah - think for yourselves. You are not a fucking slave.
Alright, now at 60-minute mark. Ritesh is such a well-spoken and eloquent speaker!!! After the initial 20-minute debate, there is more information sharing and less debate. So, I have been patiently listening and absorbing. Good content HoB! 👏
Alright, I've finished the video. As someone working in the Fintech industry for 8 years for the US stock market in NY, I feel Anupam has fantastic insights to share. He understands financial markets well, maybe because he worked in New York (or was it elsewhere in the US? I'm not sure). He has seen the American Economy closely. He has seen India's low-quality, patchy stock market and the dominant force that the New York Stock Exchange has been since the 1960s! And has also seen considerable improvements in the regulatory framework of the Bombay Stock Exchange over the years. So, he has some grasp of how a healthy regulatory framework-driven stock market should function. The guy won't go for an IPO anytime soon - I am 100% sure :) Anyone who has studied the US markets knows that the Indian Financial system has much to catch up on. It still needs to be savvy. However, as a personal preference, since I am an Indian myself, I like risk-takers and encourage new founders to aim for IPOs like Ritesh. These guys will bring about change and make the regulations stricter. Anupam will only dip his toes maybe 10-15+ years later (if everything goes well with the Indian markets). Haha, that is all for today! Enough time spent on UA-cam! But India excites me now. Go India!!!
@@humansofbombay2801 Thank you for hosting this. Know that Anupam has the highest knowledge in the group - because he has seen India from the US. You can't get this vantage point by living and working alone in India, as you don't understand the world economy until you know how the US functions. Which is sad but true. I guess we, as Indians, were slow to get connected with the financial world order - primarily because of draconian soviet era policies that changed post-1991 liberalization. But I have faith in Indians! Since they have had an enterprising culture in their blood for centuries, it is just that they lost their spine in the grander scheme of things at some point and went into a cocoon. But it is changing!
It's OK for promoters to spend 16 hrs. It's their baby and they are free to give priority to work over life. But to expect same from employee, who is salaried and is on a contract is simply illegal and crime.
Dangerous Karishma :) Love how you drove the real questions and got the sharks to open up about hard facts of their own business and investments! Such an incredible interview that should be watched by everyone who sees shark tank.
Namita was bang on... In a limited salary what can you make them do do get motivated by giving peanut salary and work 16 hours just for the CEO to get richer? Neither can they take a vacation and go for long... Neither have the luxury to enjoy.. and she was so right about kids amd marriage things are getting worse the way competition goes.
I believe these are not the ideal people to talk about work-life balance. They have the luxury of choosing not to work on specific days. Instead, salaried individuals, particularly 9-to-5/7/9 employees, should be interviewed. Not everyone wants to work such rigid hours-they deserve reasonable working hours and the ability to enjoy a fulfilling life.
@@ishan1920 Not everyone wants to take what’s considered a "risk" in life, and that’s perfectly valid-they are people too. Generalizing what everyone should do just because someone has achieved success in the top 1% doesn’t mean they can dictate what others need or want. That’s not the right way to view things. Take yourself as an example: if you were truly focused on taking risks and building an empire, you wouldn’t be here commenting on my post-you’d be out there doing the actual work. There are people like you and me who simply want stable jobs, earn decently, and live life to the fullest. And for them, the so-called 9-to-5 jobs exist, and those people have to be interviewed. Get my point now?
@@saiekrishna I ghostwrite for Indian founders while also running my sales agency, but ok 🤣. Talk about projection man. Pls deal with your insecurities brother. Peace 🙏
@@ishan1920 People who have bigger insecurities often project them onto others. Well, ghostwriting actually reveals your insecurities too. Accept it and move on. Good luck, brother!
@@saiekrishna pls go ask your father for some forgiveness for raising you with such confidence. I'm sure your middle class family left you with a few money and ambition scars. It's okay. Poor you. Live your paycheck to paycheck life. Stay fun being avg. Peace ✌️
BUT CEO's and upper management only talk and give orders. Do they provide any hard deliverables or write amazing code ? NO. So, it is understandable how they can work for 10-11 hours each day.
People only put effort behind something and work tirelessly if they find some meaning in it or they feel some motivation to do it.....but unfortunately corporate culture aesa h ki salary hi sirf motivation hai baaki koi meaningful goal hai nhi..... culture is to be blamed if people are not putting hrs in work....and not the generation...This generation is willing to put effort.
Anupam talks about building something extraordinary but for whom… give me the stock and I will work more than you… the contract between employee and employer is to work for x hours and I give me best for that x hours. Tell me why I should work extra… if you don’t pay me overtime or give me the stock. Why should I dance in someone else’s marriage.
Why mr murthy is not in this debate. That idiot thinks all his employees should work 70 hrs a week in infosys with meagre salary he gives to them. And he keeps on getting richer through their hardwork.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
If we continue on the path of long working hours for every corporate employee in few years we will be like Japan where we will have aging population and low birth rates. Certain offices in Japan are reducing workdays to 4 days to encourage people to have babies. Why would an average employee put in extra hours (when they are not compensated for the extra hours and have no stocks offered in the compensation package) they can be fired at will even when the corporate clocking in significant profits (take for example layoffs at google, meta where the profits are in billions and layoffs are frequent)
Seems you are asking the wrong people about work life balance...ask some employees from different companies ..culture...levels....to get the real insight on the issue
All people look at work life balance from their own experience. No body talks about the employee who has no upside of working more than his contract of 40 hr work week.
Correction Anupam. When u talk about all other generations have seen something life altering, remember that this generation saw the havoc of Covid-19. This was a once-in-a-century phenomenon that changed many lives. If fact i doubt any previous generation had seen something like this. Also, when u talk about struggle, it is at an indivdual level so even if the country is in better times now not everybody is living a lavish life. In fact most indians today are still struggling to make ends meet. The problem with the work-life balance debate is that it is only asked to the big entreprenuers or CEOs which constitute less than 1% of the population. Ask this question to the 99% working population who are working in modest positions.
It’s easy to speak about working 70 hrs a week when you are earning a lakh per hour and you have equity too of the company you are working at if you want all your employees to work 70 hrs then you have to start giving equity or Monetary perks to match their efforts you will see people who wants to work will work but don’t expect your employees to work all out without any compensation.
16 hrs to office me rehte h bhai ....poore 16 hrs koi kaam nhi krta.....some days u work more and some days u work moderately ... but harr din zyada kaam can kill productivity for most people
Most of these sharks companies are shows loses and would be bankrupt in western countries, and most Indian companies' directors/owners would be behind bars .
hi karishma , I'm big fan of You'r WORK, but the sad thing is i don't understand hindi, Pls try to make a convs in English, Big big love from a TELUGU guy...😍
Anupam Mittal! Bro stop talking like Elon musk, like you’re solving for intergalactic travel. You run a frickin matrimonial site and would have been homeless if it wasn’t for your Rich dad. Sabko elon ban na hai aajkal.
Firstly founders shouldn't be asked this question cause they will obviously say work hard n have no work life balance cause they want their employees to do that and make the a shit load of money, cause it will make the founders rich not the employee. Soo it's a manipulation tactic. I've been der done that had severe mental and health issues. Nno appreciation and zero support. To d point wen i was hospitalized they put me on pip n completely disregarded my past work and achievements as d best performer cause the days i was in d hospital I wasn't working. Soo yea don't fall in dis trap they want u to work ur ass off n dont care about u cause thats what will make dem a lotta money. U need to be smart and know what works for u

What Nameeta said makes sense… people will put in 70 hours if they will get the benefit of that.. there is no motivation otherwise.
Respect for Namita Thapar 📈📈 for taking into account common people and for Anupam too as usual😉 for his level of intellact
