Narayana Murthy's suggestion to work longer hours for increased productivity and GDP ranking has sparked discussions. However, concerns have been raised about the compensation and wage growth in the industry. Employees note the lack of significant salary progression, particularly for entry-level positions. Ashok Khemka highlights the income disparity between CEOs and newcomers, questioning the fairness of such gaps. This debate sheds light on broader issues of income inequality and stagnation in high-growth sectors like IT. Achieving a balance between productivity, compensation, and work-life balance requires a comprehensive approach.
