After Narayana Murthy’s lead, L&T chairman asks employees to sacrifice Sundays for 90-hour work week.

L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyam has made a controversial comment suggesting that employees should work 90 hours a week. He made this statement during a town hall meeting in response to a question about why employees are still expected to work on Saturdays. He expressed regret that he couldn’t make them work on Sundays as well, and cited the example of China where people allegedly work 90 hours a week. He also made some off-color comments about what people do at home, such as “staring at their wives”. Social media users were quick to condemn his remarks, comparing him to Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, who also advocated for long work hours. Many users called out the L&T chairman’s lack of understanding of the work-life balance and the country’s labor laws, with some jokingly asking if they were expected to “stare at someone else’s wife”. The incident has sparked a heated online debate about the work culture and expectations in India.
