Narayana Murthy

Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, encouraged attendees to give back to society after using government services at reduced costs

Can the profession be given priority over other important things in life? Rather question is this: Should it be so? Will that do justice to life en toto? Is earning or boosting economy is the only vital thing in life for an individual?

This statement sparked a national debate, with some harsh criticism and others in agreement. Notable business leaders also weighed in on the issue, while the internet buzzed with jokes and memes.

Social media users shared their perspectives on the issue, with some fearing that such suggestions might normalize excessively long work hours.

During a podcast appearance, Mr. Narayana Murthy highlighted India's low work productivity on a global scale and urged the youth to contribute to cultivating a culture that would enable India to compete effectively worldwide.
