There was a lot of debate in the country to work for 70 hours a week and work for 90 hours in the country. The big businessman and chairman of the country advocated it. But in the meantime, there is a company that made the employees happy with its decision. He won his heart. In fact, the chairman of the company has reduced the limit of working in the week to 40 hours. Yes, a company named Viba has done the same.
Viba is a sauce making company, its founder and managing director Viraj Bahl has reduced the hours of working hours to 40 hours per week. He has described more work as injustice for employees. A few days ago, in a podcast, Viraj Bahl said that it is not right to get the employees so much work. If the work is to be done, then it is necessary to give the right honorarium for it. The founders of the company are fine to do more work, but it is not right to take so much work from the employees.
Burnout Culture is not good
Viraj Bahl also talked about burnout culture i.e. Husler culture. He said that once the company runs properly, the founder needs to keep it located. To pursue it, one should focus on making a better strategy than hard work. The trend of burnout culture is going on a lot among the people starting a new startup, in which people do not work on themselves, by not paying attention to their mental health.
Debate started from Narayan Murthy
Infosys co-founder Narayan Murthy said last year that its youth should work 70 hours a week. After that L&T Chairman SN Subramanian had said that people should work 90 hours a week. Sunday should also work, someone will sit in the house and see how long. Ever since the statement of these businessmen, discussions about the work life balance in the country gained momentum, people started throwing their statements on social media platforms. The matter is serious, so this debate also reached the Parliament of the country. This was also talked about in the Economic Survey conducted before the presentation of Budget 2025.
