Economic Times · 1d

Capgemini India's CEO, Ashwin Yardi, suggests a 47.5-hour workweek, sparking debate against Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy's earlier call for a 70-hour week, which stirred up discussions on corporate work conditions. Murthy and L&T's S N Subrahmanyan advocate for longer workweeks, while Wipro's Rishad Premji highlights work-life balance. The debate extends to startup founders like Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal supporting longer hours for economic growth, whereas Namita Thapar strongly opposes excessive work demands.
