Murthy believes that in order to elevate India's economic growth, young workers must embrace a work ethic that demands longer hours, stating, "Once we compare ourselves with the best global companies, I can tell you we Indians have a lot to do." This comment reflects his view that economic productivity and hard work are essential for the country's development.
Further emphasizing his stance that entrepreneurship is crucial for the nation, Murthy stated, "The government has absolutely no role in entrepreneurship. I also realized entrepreneurs build a nation as they create jobs, they create wealth for their investors and they pay taxes." This highlights his belief in the importance of a free-market approach in fostering economic growth.
Murthy has been vocal against the modern trends of reduced work hours and work-life balance, asserting, "I don't believe in work-life balance... the shift from a six-day work week to five in 1986 was bad for the country." His views challenge the contemporary ideas about overall employee well-being.
In his recent statements, he has called for voluntary 12-hour workdays, claiming such commitment is necessary for India to become an economic powerhouse, while also acknowledging that these long hours should not be enforced legally.
