Biwi Bhaag Jaegi, Aur Kaam Bhi Nahi!

Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, has shared his views on the work-life balance debate in an interview with IANS, leaving internet users in stitches. Adani emphasized that everyone’s idea of work-life balance is different and should not be imposed on others. He jokingly said that working 70 hours a week, as suggested by N.R. Narayana Murthy, would be counterproductive and result in one’s “biwi bhaag jayegi” (wife running away). Adani added that one should strive to strike a balance between work and personal pursuits, as life is short and unpredictable. His remarks come amid ongoing debate sparked by Murthy’s proposal to increase the standard work week to 70 hours to match global standards. Adani’s witty response has sparked a lighthearted tone to the conversation, differing from Murthy’s more serious and competitive approach.
