He worked for 80-90 hours and built Infosys. What does the common man working for Infosys get on working for 70 hours. Is he getting compensated well for it, is he getting bonus more than his colleagues for the dedication. Is he getting any guarantee that when the time comes for his retirement or suspension his dedication to the company would be considered.
If not then then stop modern slavery.
Infosys is one of the mass recruiting companies in India, meaning they hire freshers on a large scale and soon many of them are churned out of the system. It is not a company the brightest here aspire for.
Also, just because he worked for 70 hours, doesn't mean the next generation should as well. By that logic, one could say hey, in our days, child Labour was common, why abolish it?. The days of working that many hours should become the exception rather than the norm. And no one, should be working, more than 40 hrs a week in any case, especially when working on someone else's vision. Narayan Murthy built a decent company and is(or should I use 'was' because his statements seem to become stupider by the day) considered a business leader by many in India. Maybe if he shut up his mouth instead of axing his own foot it would be better.
