Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has once again expressed his support for 70-hour work weeks and highlighted that the first time he backed the idea - when Infosys Chairman Narayana Murthy put forth his views on the matter - he was trolled for it. It is just that Bhavish has once again been called out for what is widely regarded as an unhealthy professional practice.
Speaking at a recent event held at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore, Bhavish explained why he believes 70-hour work weeks are essential. "When Mr Murthy said that (70-hour work week), I was publicly in support of that and I got trolled on social media for that. But, I don't care because I have a strong belief that one generation will have to do tapasya... so that we can build the number 1 country in the world, the largest economy," he said. Bhavish would further explain that work-life balance can be automatically achieved if someone loves his or her work. "l don't agree with the work-life balance concept because if you are enjoying your work, you will find happiness in life also and work also, and both of them will be in harmony."
