One miracle a week: I’m lucky I get to stare at my wife for 90 hours!

Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, responded to Larsons & Tibbets chief SN Subrahmanyan, who advocated for a 90-hour workweek, saying his employees should stop staring at their wives and stay at the office more. The remark sparked outrage, with criticisms of work-life balance and even mental health emerging. Mahindra, witty and tongue-in-cheek, responded by expressing his love and admiration for his wife, rejecting the idea of quantity over quality of work and emphasizing the business benefits of managing his social media presence. Contrasting his leadership style with the L&T executive’s, he said he has 11 million followers on Xia and values high-quality work life.
