Nilesh Shah, CEO of Kotak AMC, has said that for India to accelerate its growth, one generation should adopt the work ethic seen in countries like Korea, Japan, and China, where people consistently work 12-hour days. He was speaking during a podcast, “Invest Aaj For Kal with Anant Ladha.” Ladha posted a clip of the podcast on the social networking site X, in which Shah can be heard saying, “We need to work 12 hours per day for 365 days.” Economist and writer Sanjeev Sanyal, concurred, stating that a generation must work diligently yet also prioritize family and emphasize their role in India's progress. We are that generation and perhaps the next one," Sanjeev Sanyal wrote on X. Sanyal emphasized the current generation's dual responsibility, highlighting the need to diligently work towards sustainable practices while ensuring the human population's continued maintenance of a balanced demographic structure. Another X user, Lerrisa Fernand, expressed frustration over excessively long work hours.
