Narayana Murthy calls for 70-hour workweek: But how long should you really work?

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s latest remarks urging young Indians to work for 70 hours a week have renewed a debate on how long should employees work. Back at home, Bombay Shaving Company’s CEO Shantanu Deshpande had also asked freshers to prioritise work for ‘18 hours a day for at least four-five years’ last year, attracting much criticism from the workforce. Lesser hours, more productivity While Narayana Murthy may ask youngsters to work longer, science doesn’t support him. May be it’s time entrepreneurs like the Infosys founder and others – Elon Musk – follow the science and let staff work five hours.
