Tech pioneer Narayana Murthy warned about the impact of climate change over the weekend. The Infosys co-founder said that if the phenomenon of climate change is not looked into promptly, it could result in mass migration to cities such as Pune, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru from areas that might become uninhabitable due to changing temperatures and weather patterns.

What Did Murthy Say?

Speaking at an event in Pune, the businessman urged for more focus on the matter. He said, “We in India, particularly the corporate sector, have to cooperate with politicians and bureaucrats and ensure that there is no mass migration. That is the challenge,” reported The Times of India.

He further said that he was confident about the ability of the corporate sector, bureaucrats, and politicians to come together to resolve the issue. He also acknowledged that there might not be an intense action being taken on the matter yet as Indians tend to work at the last minute, major progress in the issue is expected by the end of the decade.

Acknowledging the problems these cities are going through, Murthy said they are also facing more difficulties on a daily basis due to issues such as pollution and traffic.

Murthy On Work-Life Balance

Notably, Murthy has been in the news recently for doubling down on his statement about work-life balance. The businessman urged Indians to aim for a 70-hour workweek, stating that this is needed for the country to develop. "At Infosys, I said we will go to the best and compare ourselves with the best global companies. Once we compare ourselves with the best global companies, I can tell you we Indians have a lot to do. We have to set our aspirations high because 800 million Indians get free ration. That means 800 million Indians are in poverty. If we are not in a position to work hard, then who will work hard?," he said.
