Tech Leaders Push Longer Workweeks: Brin Advocates 60-Hour Grind for AI Race Google co-founder Sergey Brin is urging employees to work 60-hour weeks, believing it's crucial for winning the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). His stance aligns with Infosys' Narayana Murthy, who suggested 70-hour workweeks for young Indians, and L&T's SN Subrahmanyan, who went even further with 90-hour weeks. In an internal memo, Brin stressed that with OpenAI and Microsoft closing in, Google must double down on effort. He encouraged engineers to use the company's AI models for coding efficiency, reinforcing the message that AI's future won't wait. But will employees embrace this relentless work culture? Adani Eyes U.S. Expansion Amid Legal Woes Despite bribery allegations, Adani Group is reviving plans to invest in U.S. infrastructure, including nuclear power, utilities, and an East Coast port. Founder Gautam Adani faces accusations of bribing Indian officials to secure power deals, while the U.S. SEC is investigating a $265 million fraud scheme involving his nephew, Sagar Adani. The group denies the charges and is exploring legal options. Adani has pledged $10 billion toward U.S. energy security, potentially creating 15,000 jobs, banking on Trump's pro-energy policies. This isn't its first U.S. venture—the group previously considered Texas petrochemical investments. However, with mounting legal scrutiny, its American ambitions face uncertainty. India's Semiconductor Push: A Slow Climb Up the Value Chain India's $10 billion semiconductor Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, launched in 2021, signals a long-term ambition to build a Silicon Valley-like ecosystem. Semiconductor manufacturing is capital-intensive, with a single fab costing up to $20 billion. Countries like Taiwan and South Korea dominate through subsidies, tech transfers, and strategic alliances—tactics India has been slower to adopt. So far, India has focused on the assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) segment, with actual payouts totaling just $2 billion since 2023. Meanwhile, semiconductor imports have shifted away from China, with Taiwan and South Korea now supplying nearly a third of India's chips. With the U.S. restricting tech transfers to China, India has a unique opportunity to move up the value chain. But will global players bet big on India? That remains the billion-dollar question. Bitcoin vs. Gold: One Soars, the Other Stumbles Bitcoin and gold, often compared as stores of value, are charting very different paths. Since peaking at $109,000 in January, Bitcoin has plunged 24%, while gold has climbed nearly 8%. The reason? Market sentiment. Bitcoin behaves like a speculative asset, swayed by AI spending trends, tariffs, and Trump's unpredictable policies, which have triggered a broader market pullback. In contrast, gold benefits from central bank purchases and geopolitical instability. Analyst Eric Wallerstein predicts gold could reach $4,000 by the decade's end. Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains volatile—BlackRock estimates its annual price swings at 50%, far above gold's 15%. As uncertainty looms, investors are opting for the stability of gold, leaving Bitcoin in pursuit of reliability.

Helen Hanison is the author of “Unstuck: A Smart Guide to Purposeful Career Redesign.” Helen discusses why many professionals feel stuck in their careers, emphasizing the ingrained societal pressure to persevere even in unfulfilling roles. She highlights how individuals often ignore their values and continue along a path that no longer aligns with their sense of purpose. For leaders, Helen explores how fostering open conversations with team members about their aspirations and aligning roles with individual strengths can combat stagnation and create meaningful engagement. Helen defines "purposeful" career redesign as a structured, three-act process of alignment, ideation, and transformation. It starts with self-awareness, identifying personal values and strengths, and ends with practical experiments to test new career directions. She underscores the role of self-awareness in career transitions, advising professionals to reflect deeply on what truly matters to them. Helen also provides advice for leaders feeling stuck, advocating for small, deliberate steps toward change while maintaining authenticity and connection with their teams.     Key Takeaways [02:16] Helen shared that many of her defining career moments became clear only in hindsight. She described how pivotal experiences often go unnoticed until they are viewed in context. These moments now drive her mission to help others get unstuck. [06:07] Helen explained that Unstuck is a culmination of her experiences and learnings from navigating her career. She described it as a “roadmap” for designing purposeful careers. [09:15] Helen discussed how societal pressures, like the need to persevere, often keep people stuck in unsatisfying careers. The pandemic, she noted, became a catalyst for reassessment and gave people permission to rethink their paths. [21:09] Helen broke down her approach into three acts: Alignment, Ideation, and Transformation. She emphasized the importance of aligning strengths and values, brainstorming possibilities, and testing ideas before making big changes. [25:17] Helen stressed the value of having a coach or mentor. She highlighted that while some can navigate change alone, having a thought partner can accelerate transformation and provide accountability. [34:53] Helen addressed the challenge of being promoted into roles that may not align with one's strengths. She advised leaders to reconnect with their values and seek support to navigate transitions. [41:02] Helen encouraged listeners who feel disconnected from their careers to take action. She outlined the first steps of career redesign: understanding what you enjoy and value most, and starting small to build momentum. [43:12] And remember, "Growth is painful, change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong." - Narayana Murthy   Quotable Quotes “Perseverance is a virtue, but staying in a career that violates your values is not.” “Purposeful career redesign starts with understanding what you enjoy most and value most.” “When you align your career with your values, the fear of change starts to lose its power.” “Coping for 20 years in a career that doesn't serve you is not living—it's surviving.” “The career ladder is outdated; think of your career as a series of meaningful projects instead.” “Perseverance can be a trap when it keeps you stuck in something that violates your values.” “The first step to getting unstuck is radical self-awareness—know your strengths, values, and what fuels your purpose.” “To create meaningful change, leaders must help their teams move beyond ‘more better' to something new and exciting.”  “Aligned career transformation isn't about big leaps—it's about small, deliberate steps that reduce risk and build clarity.”  “A supportive leader creates a legacy not by holding onto people but by facilitating their growth, even if it means they move on.”  “Your career should light you up, not weigh you down. If it doesn't, it's time to reassess and realign.”  “Leaders who align their values with their actions inspire their teams and create a ripple effect of positivity.”    This is the book mentioned in this episode Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Murthy has a point. Govt can cut costs by hiring gig workers with attendant benefits. The question is, can we outsource elections, census, and disaster management? https://theprint.in/opinion/narayana-murthy-upsc-lbsnaa-dont-need-corporates/2373864/

N. R. Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, emphasizes hard work as a priority over work-life balance. He maintained a schedule of 14 hours a day, six and a half days a week for 30 years until his retirement in 2011. His workday began at 6:20 a.m. and ended at 8:30 p.m. He expressed disappointment when India shifted to a five-day workweek in 1986. Murthy has suggested that young people in India should work 70 hours a week, opposing local labor laws. Recently, at CNBC's Global Leadership Summit, he reiterated his belief against the concept of work-life balance. Infosys, founded in 1981 with $250, expanded to 56 countries and employs over 317,000 people. The company became the first Indian firm listed on NASDAQ in 1999 and reports a market capitalization of over $92 billion and $18 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2024.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy's recent comment about long working hours triggered a debate amongst internet users. In this podcast, V Nivedita from businessline is joined by Ashwini Deshpande, Head of the Department of Economics and Professor of Economics at Ashoka University, to discuss Indian work culture and productivity. Recent data from the International Labour Organisation has revealed that employed Indians work an average of approximately 47.7 hours per week, one of the highest figures worldwide. Despite these extended work hours, India's productivity rates remain comparatively low. Deshpande explains how productivity can be measured for various inputs, such as labour and capital, and how it is vital for an economy. High labour productivity means that workers' efforts contribute to increased output, potentially leading to higher GDP and economic growth. However, the professor highlights that the productivity situation in India is not uniform across all sectors. India's labour force predominantly engages in the informal sector, which varies in terms of conditions, technology, and capital. Consequently, making sweeping judgments about India's labour productivity across all sectors is inaccurate. She also explains how increasing work hours may enhance output but emphasizes the importance of considering broader consequences. The podcast also addresses the predicament that many recent graduates face when they enter the workforce unprepared. Employers often discover that these young professionals lack the technical skills necessary for their roles, further impacting productivity. In conclusion, the discussion acknowledges the existing job availability crisis in India. It iterates that the challenge is not solely about working hard but represents a more extensive issue encompassing productivity, employment opportunities, and social infrastructure. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message

Narayana Murthy, a pioneer in the IT industry, recently said that youngsters in India should work 70 hours a week. This statement has led to many debates and discussions. In this podcast, Anjana PV talks to Dr Milu Maria Anto, Clinical psychologist, Assistant professor and Head of the Department of Psychology, Prajyoti Niketan College, Pudukad, about the consequences of working for 70 hours on an employee's mental health. Dr Milu begins by highlighting that the discussion of working 12 to 14 hours per day is a complex issue and cannot be evaluated based on the number of hours worked. She emphasises the importance of considering various factors such as physical health, mental health, cognitive abilities, socioeconomic status, workplace environment, and gender when discussing work hours. She mentions that European Commission guidelines suggest a 48-hour work-week, but each country has its own regulations. The conversation delves into the impact of long working hours on mental and physical well-being. She points out that working such long hours can lead to anxiety, depression, reduced personal time, and decreased socialisation. Dr Milu also discusses how work stress and burnout can contribute to physical health issues and even suicide. Long hours can affect cognitive functions, attention, concentration, memory, and emotional well-being. When asked about the ideal timing for work to achieve a proper work-life balance, she suggests that 5 to 6 hours per day would be ideal for employee well-being, considering an average of 40 hours per week. Dr Milu also mentions the importance of flexible work hours and schedules to accommodate individual preferences. The discussion extends to who bears responsibility for achieving a better work-life balance. Dr Milu believes that both employers and employees share this responsibility. A balance should be struck through effective communication, flexible work environments, and mutual respect for personal space and self-worth. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, as different industries, geographical locations, and cultural contexts in India require varied approaches. Regarding productivity, Dr Milu emphasises that quality of work and efficiency are more important than the quantity of hours worked. Each person has a unique way of performing, and recognising this individuality can enhance productivity. She advises that the focus should be on the quality of time spent working. The podcast concludes by addressing how employers can foster better mental health for their employees. Dr Milu suggests that employers should create a supportive environment, led by example, communicate effectively, and reward performance. They should also recognise and utilise the strengths of each employee. Employees, on the other hand, should take care of themselves, respect their personal space, and maintain their self-esteem. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message

Narayana Murthy, a pioneer in the IT industry, recently said that youngsters in India should work 70 hours a week. This statement has led to many debates and discussions. In this podcast, Anjana PV talks to Dr Deepak Krishnamurthy, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru, about the consequences of working for 70 hours on an individual's physical health. Krishnamurthy suggests that, breaking down a 70-hour work week, it translates to 14 hours a day for a five-day workweek or 12 hours a day for a six-day workweek. While it might be possible for someone to sustain this level of work intensity for a day or two, expecting it to be a regular practice is not just unrealistic but also harmful. The effects on an individual's physical and mental health can be profound. He explained that studies conducted worldwide have shown that consistently working more than 55 hours per week increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, cardiac arrests, strokes, high blood pressure, and diabetes. These health consequences are not immediate but accumulate over time, leading to severe conditions in the long run. Many countries, including European nations and the United States, have recognised the detrimental impact of excessive working hours on health and have implemented limits on work hours, typically ranging from 30 to 45 hours per week, with a maximum cap at 55 hours. These regulations are in place to protect the well-being of employees and ensure a reasonable work-life balance. The misconception that young individuals should be able to endure such long work weeks is also misplaced. While some may be able to cope with it for a few years in their twenties, the health effects become increasingly apparent as they enter their thirties and forties. Cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, disturbed sleep, anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders are just a few of the consequences that can manifest as a result of prolonged and excessive working hours. Furthermore, the notion that people over the age of 40 should take it easy while those below 40 can handle the workload is flawed. The risk of health issues, especially cardiovascular diseases, sets in before the age of 40 due to cumulative damage that occurs over the years. Once these changes occur in the circulatory system, they are challenging to reverse, making it vital to promote healthier work practices from an early stage in one's career. Krishnamurthy also suggested that the rise in heart-related issues is not solely due to a 70-hour work week but is a multifaceted problem. It's a reflection of our changing lifestyles, including the stress levels we experience, the long working hours, a lack of physical activity, unhealthy dietary choices, and the increased prevalence of risk factors such as smoking. These factors have become more pronounced in recent years, contributing to the surge in heart attacks among younger individuals. COVID-19 has also played a role in increasing the risk of heart-related issues. People who have recovered from moderate or severe cases of COVID-19 may have a higher risk of developing cardiac arrest and heart attacks. However, it's essential to note that while COVID-19 may be a contributing factor, lifestyle and other risk factors play a more significant role in the increased incidence of heart attacks. While hard work and dedication are important, they should not come at the cost of an individual's physical and mental health. It is crucial to implement stricter labour laws and regulations that limit working hours to ensure that employees are healthy, productive, and capable of sustaining their careers without compromising their well-being. Achieving this balance is essential for the overall well-being of the workforce and the long-term success of any nation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message

Narayana Murthy recently joined the list of global tech leaders like Elon Musk and Jack Ma who want workers to commit long working hours. Murthy wants young Indians to work 70 hours a week to catch up with the better performing countries. His suggestion has ignited a debate. While some agree with Murthy, others don't. Infosys chairman's suggestion also stood in sharp contrast to India's labour laws which have proposed to cap weekly working hours at 48. And also against the call for four-day a week work. So is Murthy's 70-hour-work-week a fair ask?  Unlike the western countries, workers in India face a lot of challenges on their way to work. One of them is pollution, which sometimes borders hazardous levels in metros. In Delhi, the skyline permanently disappears behind the haze during winter as farmers in neighbouring Haryana and Punjab start burning crop residues. This October too is no different. In our ongoing two-part series on pollution --where we covered Mumbai yesterday – we now find out why Delhi is choking? And what is the way out?  Hope we find a solution to this recurring phenomenon which is taking a big toll on people's health. Let us now move on to the financial markets. The IPO market is seeing a flush of new offers, defying the weakness in the secondary market. The recent offer of beauty and personal care brand Mamaearth is the talk of the town. So with two more days left for subscription, is the IPO really worth it?  Moving on, the Reserve Bank of India has directed private sector banks and wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign banks to have at least two whole-time directors in addition to the MD and CEO. But who are these whole-time directors? Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers.

8 Indian navy veterans handed a death sentence in Qatar, No difference between India, Bharat: Union education minister amid NCERT row, Narayana Murthy's ‘70-hour work week' advice for youngsters divides internet and other top news bulletin here

Infosys expects to achieve its revenue growth target of 4-7 percent in constant currency terms for the financial year 2024, company executives told investors in a conference with Morgan Stanley yesterday in Mumbai, CNBC TV18 reports. Also in this report, Germany's Thyssenkrupp is close to a multi-billion-dollar deal to build six submarines for the Indian Navy, offering the engineering and tech knowhow for India's Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders to execute the construction; Meta Verified comes to India; And US based Digibee, a low-code software integration platform provider, has raised $60 million Notes Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, has launched its verification program, Meta Verified, in India, replacing its earlier verified badge system on Facebook and Instagram, TechCrunch reports. Meta Verified aims to provide a mark of authenticity and credibility to prominent individuals, ensuring that users can trust their accounts.   The program will allow eligible users to apply for verification, which will be evaluated based on various criteria such as account completeness, adherence to community guidelines, and authenticity.   Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced on June 6 in New Delhi that the German company Thyssenkrupp AG is likely to bid for a project to supply six submarines to the Indian Navy, Reuters reports. The move comes as India seeks to bolster its domestic defence manufacturing to counter China's increasing presence in the Indian Ocean, Reuters notes.   In a separate report, Bloomberg pegged the value of the deal – seen as a move by Germany to help India reduce its dependence on Russia – at $5.2 billion.   Thyssenkrupp's marine arm is expected to sign the deal with India's Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, with the agreement's value estimated at around 7 billion euros. India's navy, which currently has 16 conventional submarines, approved a budget of $6.8 billion in March to replace its aging fleet.   Infosys expects to achieve its revenue growth target of 4-7 percent in constant currency terms for the financial year 2024, company executives told investors in a conference with Morgan Stanley yesterday in Mumbai, CNBC TV18 reports.   However, reaching the upper end of the range will depend on closing mega deals at a faster pace. Improving margins would be a tall task, company executives said in the conference. The external environment has remained unchanged since Infosys' last earnings announcement, and the lower end of the revenue growth guidance has already accounted for macro uncertainty, they said.   Meanwhile, Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy's investment firm, Catamaran Ventures, is reportedly in advanced discussions to invest between $100 million and $150 million in Ola Electric, the electric vehicle arm of ride-hailing services provider Ola, Economic Times reports.   The potential investment is part of Ola Electric's ongoing funding round, which aims to raise $300-500 million to support its expansion plans. Ola Electric has emerged as the top electric scooter seller in India, selling 35,000 units in May, Business Standard reported on June 4.   Digibee, a low code software application integration platform provider, has raised $60 million in a recent funding round, TechCrunch reports. The investment was led by VC firm Felicis Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Wing Venture Capital and GFC.

The city of Bengaluru in southern India, previously called Bangalore, is renowned for its huge technology companies and buzzy start-up culture. But, 50 years ago it was a technological backwater. Entrepreneurs like Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys, which is one of India's biggest tech companies, were right at the heart of the city's remarkable transformation into India's Silicon Valley. He tells his story to Ben Henderson. (Photo: Narayana Murthy and Infosys colleagues in 2004. Credit: INDRANIL MUKHERJEE/AFP via Getty Images)

Founder - Infosys, Mr.Narayana Murthy

Hi, I'm Fitriawati (205111042). This podcast is about the importance of personal development. In one's life there needs to be a change for the better every time. Of course, it takes a will in oneself to step towards these changes. So, do not feel complacent or proud, keep trying to explore the potential within yourself even though it is full of challenges. As said by N.R. Narayana Murthy “growth is painful. Change is painful. However, nothing hurts like staying stuck in a place you don't belong."

For Indians who know what Narayana Murthy and Infosys have stood for, the tax row involving UK chancellor's wife will be no more than a lynching of a high-flying brown person. ----more---- https://theprint.in/opinion/akshata-murtys-financial-impropriety-case-is-a-white-tax-on-brown-successful-rishi-sunak/915147/

Sudha Murty, Chairperson Murty Foundation, wife of Infosys founder, Narayana Murthy. She shares her experience and Mantra of leading a happy life on IndiaPodcasts with Anku Goyal

Hello, Sudha Murthy is an Indian engineering teacher and Kannada and English author as well as a Social worker. She is also the Chairperson of the Infosys Foundation. She is the wife of co-founder of Infosys, N. R. Narayana Murthy. Sudha Murthy began her professional career in computer science and engineering. "What you should worry about is what you like to do, as long as what you like to do is morally and ethically right,” she said. As Chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, where Sudha Murty works with people from different walks of life, she believes she has found her purpose in life in serving people. At Infosys Foundation, the non-profit arm of the IT company, Sudha Murty has dedicated her life to serving the underprivileged by empowering them through education, poverty alleviation, healthcare, public hygiene, education, and art and culture. “Serving people has bought me a tremendous amount of calmness. Nothing else matters to me now,” says Sudha Murty, who credits her daughter for waking her up from her slumber, and forcing her to reflect on the purpose of her life over two decades ago. At the time, Sudha Murty was the Head of Department of Computer Science at Bangalore University. “My daughter asked me: ‘A person like you who is well-read and well-traveled, what do you expect in life? Do you want to be glamorous? Do you want to spend your time in technology? Or do you want to spend your time with your large family? What do you want to do in life?” This made Sudha Murty, who was around 45 years old at the time, question her purpose in life. She found herself asking herself at the time, “What is there to do with my life? I thought I could enjoy the fruits of my labour, but what does ‘enjoy' mean? Was it to make money, win awards, have children, or get more doctorates?” Shortly thereafter, Sudha Murty resigned from her full-time position in the University, choosing to take up a consulting professor role instead, and became one of the first trustees of Infosys Foundation, which was established in 1996. Since then, Sudha Murty has led various initiatives by the Infosys Foundation to build hospitals, schools, orphanages, rehabilitation centres, as well as more than 14,000 toilets and over 60,000 libraries for the underprivileged sections of the society “It was hard, but I always thought I was on a mission. And this attitude (I had, where I believed) ‘let everyone say everything as long as I am morally and ethically right,' has helped me throughout.” The podcast story will make you feel what is important in life and helping people can lead in the place you want to go #SudhaMurty#Philanthropy#Wayoflife Please do share with your family and friends You Tube :https://bit.ly/ytriseofinspiration Facebook https://www.facebook.com/riseofinspiration Instagram https://www.instagram.com/riseofinspiration/ Listen now from Castbox too https://castbox.fm/vc/2998329 Listen on Spotify https://bit.ly/riseofinspiration Listen to Apple Podcast https://bit.ly/riseofinspirationwithsangeeta And many platform...
