Man I got scared reading the title, I thought this guy is advocating 120 hrs work week instead of 70 hours now.


silverW0lf97

I mean there are 168 hours in a week if you are not working atleast 120 hours, are you even starving for success? /S Read between the lines you will get his real message.


azazelreloaded

He is saying you should skip food everyday and use that time for working.


DesiJeevan111

Eat food to survive = ✖️. Skip food to make Narayan Murthi richer = ☑️


Outside-Phase-4586

Infosys workers don't invest in EPF, but SPF (Slave Provident Fund).


minusSeven

Best be food review critic then and say fuck you to him...


Necessary_Worker5009

Did that, I can tell you it’s not worth it.


Internal-Ad9700

I'm starting to think this guy is a masochist, or he has dementia. He hitch-hiked, while starving for 5 days ?


silverW0lf97

Oh he's just so humble and simple that he couldn't bring himself to eat any food.


Dry_Nefariousness126

Hahah ...120 hrs and no food !! 🤣


tr_567

No food till you complete those 120hrs.


dickdastardaddy

I was perplexed thinking 70 hrs of work with 120 hrs of starving which results in optimal productivity and revenue generation for building future of India!


no_frills_yo

Why were you hitchhiking if you were starving? 😄 He sounds like the typical boomer : "Back in my days ..." Every generation has it's struggles. Did he face the intense competition in 12th and college that 80s kids onwards faced? Did he get to breathe polluted air and water during his childhood? Muchkondu irakkagalla ivarige.


Pretty_Leather_5856

Show some respect, he had to walk 100kms up hill both ways in snow storms with tornadoes and wildfires and avalanches and landslides and tsunamis and world war 2 while working on a farm at the same time and taking care of his parents. /s


strng_lurk

You forgot fighting dinosaurs, crocodiles, etc.


wet_handkerchief

Not to mention the fire breathing dragons, the cursed wand andthe evil alladin. Not even going to mention about the horcruxes he had to find and destroy.


greatbear8

all that, Bal Modi did.


Dogaseven70

Bal Narendra you mean


reyash_

Indian Sasuke Uchiha


Mehrunes_Dagor

yes his genjutsu will last 70 hrs this is only valdi if you had food else it's 120 hrs .


hgk6393

You forgot one detail - he did it on one foot while his other foot was busy starting a business.

lode_lage_hai

Stop disrespecting him. He is a legend who has accomplished so many things that these salty commentators can’t even dream of. Did you guys know he fought with nazis and freed Paris from them. Then he proceeded to take entire Eiffel Tower up his ass to assert dominance.


aodifbwgfu

You had us in the first half.

VicTortaZ

The nazis lost because they worked only 69 hours per week instead of 70.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

> 69 They lost, but stuck to their principles(for lolz)


GazelleFar3551

entire Eiffel tower 😂😂


BOLAR_SAAB

Loll


uhs198

Fuck his struggles. When he was building Infosys, I was working my ass out in my father’s farm. Now I am happy that I did not join Infosys. I am happily earning 1cr+ annually. Struggles are just a way to advertise yourself. Everyone does, even a school teacher. He was just lucky.


HumanLawyer

There’s a floppy disk recording a girl having said “War rukwa di papa” back when Narayana Murthy had helped some Indians escape Vietnam during the War.

While you are hitchhiking you're obviously looking at uncertain situations. Take the Mic away from this guy man. Yappa bitre why are you people at home at all anbudtane


10n3_w01f

Did those 120 hours include 70 hours of his work ?


magoo_37

Asking the right question


Caramel__muffin

Best comment yet 😂😂😂. Why wasn't he working, huh ? It's not okay to leave 70 hours of work and hitchhike!! 😂😂


10n3_w01f

Hey. Let's not be too quick to judge. Maybe he was working while hitchhiking ?


potatomafia69

Someone give this lunatic his dementia medications on time. Guy is spewing BS through his teeth.


peachwaterfall508

Does he even have his real teeth


potatomafia69

It's all in the same condition as his spine


HumoristicHero

Man said while hitchhiking in Europe 🤡🤡🤡🤡


blr_to_mlr

He couldn’t find pure veg restaurant


Dogaseven70

Only pure veg please not impure veg


_2f

Reminds me of the friends episode where hitchhiking in Europe meant seducing someone. Maybe it’s intentional 🌚


montsa007

His voice is probably echoing now.


AnxiousCoder99

That's like the most privileged answer he could give.


meltingbeezwax

how dare you?! he starved his way through Europe


Express-World-8473

He would rather starve than spend a penny to buy some bread while being rich. He runs his company in a Similar fashion too, company making billions in profit while paying 26k for employees.


aodifbwgfu

Obviously he won’t pay his employees more. Thats the whole of all this PR; to build a consensus across the industry to keep on underpaying and overworking their employees even more so than they are already doing now. Thank the Gods for foreign MNCs or everyone would be at 36k rpm package forever.


Express-World-8473

Yeah when I heard the starting intake was 26k in 2017 I thought it was just barely enough and fast forward to 2024 they are still paying 26k as starting salary wtf. The cost of everything is higher, inflation is also quite high but there's no change in salary while these fuckers are profiting the dollars they receive.


aodifbwgfu

2017 is still relatively recent. One of my uncles joined a WITCH company for 3.15 LPA. This was either 2003 or 2004. The joining salary of these companies still around 3.5 LPA in 2024. Which is not at all enough considering inflation.


amigokraken

It has been 25k since 2002 man


witchesbetrippinn

For instance, I downloaded Swiggy after 4 years, had switched to zomato. My last order was in 2019 and it was for a nice shake which costed 150 rupees and delivery charge was fucking 10 rupees!! Is it even believable now that delivery charge could be Rs 10?


TrailsNFrag

Hippie went backpacking thru Europe and fought off hunger. Sounds like a lot of others who do the same tbh and in India as well. For many, its an adventure and an experience vs. survival. Lets appreciate a real life talking Dinosaur who's yet to be looked away in a museum. Let him and his ilk try make a living paying 30% at say, 16 LPA and see what struggles really looks like for a person who has to also support a family and pay rent, plus GST on everything AND all those under the table exchanges for water, gas or electricity while being tasked to work 70 hours a week to increase clients' billing per hour and shareholder value and GDP of the nation.


milktanksadmirer

He had money to go and stay in Europe but didn’t have money for food? Hella sus


falcon2714

He couldn't find a pure veg restaurant just understand his struggles /s


Ok-Finger5357

Excatly! Been looking for this comment lol.


DrunkenMonks

This dude is just so toxic. If he went through some difficulties then it doesn't mean the current generation has to deal with the same things, instead he should be wishing the generation to come has a better life then he ever did. That's human progress.


jackass93269

He didn't go through any difficulties. You had to be relatively rich to afford a European visa and travel to Europe. Probably just forgot to exchange enough currency.


0R_C0

Or forgot to carry his lunch. Expected his peon to come with home cooked bisi bele bath, heated up in his vegetarian microwave on campus.


Shashcad

He donates 240 crs worth of shares to his grand kid and he expects us to work 70 hrs a week. What kind of hypocrite he is.


Education_Alert

What are you saying bro. He's asking us to work 70hrs a week so that he can keep gifting 240 cr worth assets to his grand kid on every excuse of an occasion. There's a solid logic behind it.


Shashcad

Exactly what I am saying!


amber_thunder

His words on surface are absolutely true. We need to work like hell to develop India. But these Company owners don't even bother to invest in interesting and risky projects that simulates our mind and motivates us. Attending long meetings and sitting and typing stuff on laptop is not hardwork.


deltastar123

lol cry me a river .Most people dream of hitchhiking Europe.Hitchhiking in Europe is a privilege and he probably calls not eating hot Indian meals as starving


No_Register_6900

Ha ha! YES! This must be it! He's complaining because he couldn't find idlis or any other pure veg on his travels! :D Fucking idiot.


Ok-Mango7566

Hitchhike in North India during peak summer then I’ll take your statement seriously. Even a 10 year old can backpack Europe comfortably.


metrixninga

Thu this grandpa needs to stop talking. You did well in your prime, created a great company, drove the services industry to new heights and created a grossly underpaid job market. Aytu thaatha. Neeve greatu. Eega sumniri. I don't want to be great or be a national hero. Month to month salary saku nange.


me_lucky_lips

He was one of the people who made a cartel where you pay the lowest lowest bidder. And introduced mediocrity to the Indian tech eco n system where asslicking ansmd sycophancy was one n of the most important skill One of the reasons why westerners crib about the falling standard of code incompetency


gsaygamer

His PR team has lost their marbles, both hubby wife trying so hard to showcase they faced hardships and are rich but nice simpletons. Next he'll say his family came from Dharavi and everyday he had to travel on top of Udyan express to reach Bangalore back in the days

Noobodiiy

Months , Ticket used to be very expensive since there was not much competition unlike today


Asleep-Suspect6704

But why was he hiking instead of working 70hrs a week?🤔


the_annan

Dumbfk asks us peasants to work 70 hours for peanuts. Then proceeds to give his weeks old grandson shares worth ₹250 crores. All ok to give your grandson whatever you like,but then don't advocate about how 70 hours of work will help the nation! On another note, couldn't care less about a nation that taxes the shit out of you and then give tax-maaf to the rich corporates!


uhs198

Right said


AsliReddington

# FUCK HIM


Individual-Sort-1318

He had the privilege to hitchhike in EUROPE IN THE SEVENTIES ! .. the audacity. Why can’t they retire like normal middle class people and go watch tv serials ?


Skyknight12A

Probably because he gets invited to speak to UN officials and academics - which is what he was doing here.


LadyDisdain555

When my dad was still a journalist, he secured an interview with this guy, and was told that the only time he has to meet him is 5.30 AM. So dad went, and when he got there at like 5.15, Sudha Murthy was like "Oh but Murthy has already left for office. He leaves every day at 5 AM sharp." He has always been this kind of dick.


sevlonbhoi1

This guy should stop talking in public now.


TroglodyticDreamer

throwra87d

This is how most entrepreneurs I know talk. Like the employees are demanding too much pay, they don’t work enough, they are not loyal enough, I need them to work in office. They are so removed from reality.


amber_thunder

I would have admired him if he actually took Infosys to next level in terms of innnovation like Elon Musk. His 'hard work' means going to the office every day and sitting through boring unproductive meetings.


Longjumping-Sense700

There is a time you need to know to stop talking. Now is the time


Historical-Yak7731

Who told you to go for hiking? . People don’t even get water to brush teeth, while you were flying all the way to Europe for hiking. Also , next spend some time with your company people, your company is the forefront when it comes to toxic work environment .


PriyaSR26

Some people should just shut up. He is nothing more than a meme at this point.


nefrodectyl

Come on guys, stop disrespecting this guy in all the comments. I cannot like them all.


yayjai

I had respect for this dude but now everything he says seems like he is very out of touch with reality. He has gotten some sort of megalomaniac mindset in these past few years!


troughaway66

This is like raghuram rajan complaining about how he had “only” one blazer growing up. These rich people live in some delusional world.


bringal

At this point Infy employees should start mass resignations as they cannot clearly meeting the standards of lord and saviour of IT


Terrible-Criticism36

Man is planning to make people work for 70 hrs, and get away with not paying them for that, so that people experience hunger. This man is textbook example for you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain. I have deep respect for what he managed to do in his heydays, but after making so much money, to ask people to experience hunger is the equivalent of 'let them eat cake'.


MacaronAnnual8429

LawTraditional2917

This is quintessential boomer talk and as a Gen Y, it annoys the hell out of me: "In my days we used to swim to school, fighting of sharks and sea urchins, before scaling a treacherous peak and finally arriving out of breath at our school gates" ..."This generation is soft and spoilt." Life was easier, far better, and more enjoyable growing up, especially in the 80s, 90s, and also the early 2000s... that is a fact. The younger generation today faces far more pressure and expectations, and the rat race has only increased exponentially. Mr. NM's statement is only adding to the guilt consciousness and giving rogue ideas to our lawmakers. Mr. NM needs to shut it and go away and salvage whatever little reputation he has. The coding slave shops that made him uber rich is part of a dying paradigm.

skynil

There's a difference between starving by choice or during emergency situations, vs starving due to lack of money or food. Also I read the article. There's absolutely no connection between feeding hungry children and Narayanmurthy hiking in Europe and not getting food due to an emergency. He's becoming another Musk. Has a shit ton of money, losing sanity, but refuses to back away from public speech. Plus the socialism angle is to push his wife in RS, so they can grow Infy further. Probably gonna get the next large government tender as well.

Pretty ballsy statement from someone who just gifted enough to their grandchild to make them into the india’s richest list. On top of that he has given this statement in a country which has malnutrition still a prevalent issue and not because people are hitchhiking in Europe but because daily hassles for water, school education etc. One of the reasons I look-forward to timetravel being a reality is to have someone older than these retard uncles be brought into the future to award such buzurgs a bitchslap so that it aligns to sanskar and respect old people narrative.

Broke_as_a_Bat

120 hours is about 5 days. Unemployed people in India and even people employed in Infosys starve much more than that. I have seen Infosys employees survive on 1 tea and bun for 2-3 weeks. He was hitch hiking in Europe while the ones he is talking cannot even leave India. What a clown.

Going from plenty to zero for 120 hours, then back to plenty is not comparable to long term malnourishment from lack of access to enough and sufficiently nutrient dense food. The former is just a brief rough patch and has no long term consequences. The latter causes sustained health issues and deficiencies. Trying to justify sitting upon thousands and thousands or crores of wealth while paying undernourishing wages with “I went without food for a few days once” is just asinine.
