Giving 90 a new lease on life: A laudable defense of SN Subrahmanyan and Narayana Murthy!

The article “90 is the New 70: Defending SN Subrahmanyan and Narayana Murthy” from The Quint challenges the notion that the age of 70 is the new benchmark for retirement. The article argues that successful entrepreneurs like S.N. Subrahmanyan (co-founder of Infosys) and N.R. Narayana Murthy (co-founder of Infosys) have continued to be productive and effective in their roles well beyond the age of 70. The article cites examples of their continued involvement in various initiatives, including philanthropic work, governance, and mentorship. The author suggests that the age of 70 is not a cap on one’s potential or contribution, and that experience, wisdom, and energy can be maintained and leveraged well into one’s 80s and beyond. The article is a defense of Subrahmanyan and Murthy, as well as a broader challenge to the ageist notion that there is a fixed limit to what individuals can accomplish based solely on their age.
