Sajjan Jindal, Anup Mittal (Shaadi.com founder), Bhavish Agarwal (Ola founder) and CP Gurnani (Tech Mahindra CEO) have thus far supported Murthy. Now Manish Tewary has said:
"I do not understand the brouhaha around @Infosys_nmurthy statement on a 70 hour work week . What is wrong with it ?...If India has to truly become a great power one or even two generations have to make 70 hours a week their work ethic. 70 hours a week with one day off & 15 days of vacations in one year must become the norm."
Let's start with his own generation and the one before it. Since only one or two gens will have to make that sacrifice. In addition, they must lower their own wages and income to ensure greater good.
70 hours is fine as long as they pay for 70 hours and there’s minimal travelling. Travelling to Bombay High Court from the suburbs takes 2.5-3 hours a day, which makes 70hr/week more like 100hr/week and that’s the problem.
