Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has sparked a nationwide debate with his recent candid discussion on work culture in India. He emphasized the urgent need to address India's work productivity, which currently ranks among the lowest globally.
Speaking on the inaugural episode of 3one4 Capital's podcast 'The Record,' Murthy made a strong case for the youth of India to be prepared to work up to 70 hours a week in order to elevate the nation's work culture and effectively compete on the global stage.
In the discussion, Murthy compared India's work culture to that of countries like China, Japan, and Germany. He noted that Japan and Germany managed remarkable post-World War II economic recoveries by fostering a culture of extended working hours and dedication.
