New Delhi – Narayan Murthy of the world-famous Indian Business house Infosys advised Indian youth to work for at least 70 hours per week; that is, 10 hours daily. In this context, Murthy gave the example of German citizens who, after World War 2, worked for long hours. It is necessary that Indian youth should also work in this same manner. Assignments should be completed as soon as possible without procrastinating.

Narayan Murthy says that those who work a 5-day week should work for 14 hours per day. Moreover, those working a 6-day week should work for 12 hours per day.

Many successful businessmen have from time to time said exactly what Narayan Murthy said as given below –

2. Jack Ma founder of the Chinese Business Alibaba : The employees of my company have to work for 12 hours per day. They have to work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., they will get recompensed for their extra labour. One should be prepared to work for 12 hours per day if a new business or start-up has to be established.
