Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has reignited a debate by suggesting young Indians adopt a 72-hour workweek, citing China's controversial '996' (9 am to 9 pm, six days a week) model as a benchmark for accelerating growth.

The comments have sparked widespread discussion on productivity, work-life balance, and national development.
