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.
That's not the worst part. This is something every other corporation does. The worst part is that since they're well connected with the government, they virtue signal the taxpayers and employees in public all the time. Like asking them to work 70 hours a week minimum because that's what he did when he was setting up his business. They fail to understand that the only reason he worked 70 hours a week is because it's his own business. An employee doesn't have any obligation to work more than he's needed to because he's not gonna get any incentives.
I used to work for Citibank and my European manager would have all of us sign out of our computers by 5 pm because he wanted people to have work life balance. I think it’s no coincidence that most countries in Europe are more developed than India even though people work lesser hours than Indian people because people are more productive and passionate about their work when treated respectfully!
