‘Biwi Bhag Jayegi…’ Gautam Adani's Hilarious Counter On 70-Hour Work Week - Video

After Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy suggested that young people should work at least 70 hours a week or 12 hours every day to succeed and boost the country’s economy, the topic of work-life balance became a hot debate. While most people criticised Murthy’s statement, a few supported him. 

Recently, Gautam Adani, the founder and chairman of Adani Group, shared his views on the subject. The billionaire said that if a person enjoys their work, they’ll naturally be able to achieve balance in life. 

Adani said, "If you enjoy what you do, then you have a work-life balance. Your work-life balance should not be imposed on me, and my work-life balance shouldn't be imposed on you. One must ensure that they spend at least four hours with their family."

The billionaire businessmen also said that one needs to spend time with the family and enjoy one’s time and the amount of time spent could differ for each individual. 

With a hilarious remark, Adani said, “You only need to see if I spend four hours with my family and find joy in it, or if someone else spends eight hours and enjoys it, that's their balance. But if someone spends eight hours and their spouse leaves, that's another story."

Narayana Murthy’s Comment On Work-Life Balance

Previously Narayana Murthy sparked a debate by saying that youngsters in the country should work for at least 70 hours a week or 12 hours everyday to drive India’s growth story and build a successful career. 

 “I used to work 85-90 hours a week till I retired. I received a scholarship from my pre-university days in 1961, and many of my peers benefited from government-subsidised education. Those of us who have reaped such benefits owe it to the country to work hard for the betterment of society."
