Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s suggestion for young Indians to work a 70-hour week to boost productivity and growth is questioned, with evidence showing no direct link between working hours and productivity. Murthy’s comparisons, including post-war Germany, are considered flawed, as they don’t align with historical trends. India already records longer working hours compared to many countries, and the focus should be on improving education and skill development rather than advocating for longer workweeks. The culture of long hours in corporate India is challenged, emphasizing the need for smarter, more efficient work rather than extended hours.
