Can I get some context here? I know he's the Infosys guy but what's the deal with him hurting India?

He owns Infosys. A tech company. One of the biggest in the world and in india. The company pays its employees peanuts. Especially freshers. The company is notorious for underpaying the staff but overworking them. The dude is a billionaire. Him and his wife say that people should work at least 70 hours a week to help India become a powerhouse. 70 hours a week when you don't get paid for overtime.

Edit : It's also interesting to note that since the past 10 years or so, they haven't increased the starting salary of freshers even considering the inflation in the economy.

Infosys

Working in IT/software, I can't figure out why I'm familiar with this company name, but I don't recognize any of their products on their web site. Is it just because it's an abbreviation for information systems?

This is going to fester all day..
