Overview

Infosys founder N. R. Narayana Murthy is once again emphasizing the need for longer working hours in India to accelerate national progress. Referencing China's past "9-9-6" work culture (9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week), he suggests young Indians should prioritize hard work and career building over immediate work-life balance to help India catch up with rapidly growing economies like China. He believes extraordinary commitment from all sections of society is required for India to achieve similar economic strides.
