Hard work a personal choice, no one can demand long hours: Narayana Murthy

Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy, who recently drew attention for suggesting that young professionals should work 70 hours a week, clarified on Monday that such a workload should never be imposed. Instead, he urged individuals to “introspect” and consider the importance of dedication in achieving progress.

Speaking at the Kilachand Memorial Lecture on ‘Compassionate Capitalism,’ organised by the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Mumbai, Murthy shared his personal experience of working long hours throughout his career.
