01:21Your view on

01:24Entire controversy of L&T chairman and his 90-hour work-life balance

01:31Yeah, I think

01:33First I would say a little bit has been maybe it's taken a little out of context

01:38maybe he wanted to suggest that he would

01:41Want people to work more, but I think that has been extended that he would want people to work on weekends

01:48I don't know why he mentioned about wife and all

01:51But I think in our personal

01:54Capacity what I have seen at Mulder X. We have been really successful with a five

01:59one day

02:01week as well and

02:04No, I think personally I feel that it's really important to have the off time as well

02:12along with

02:13When you are working very hard on the five days, you need some more time need some family time and that

02:20Refreshes you for the next week and you can work

02:23Back again, so I personally don't agree with the 90-hour work

02:27I would rather ask my people to work even lesser hours at being more productive

02:33Do you think working hours really matter

02:39In today's

02:42Technology scenario I would say it will

02:44The kind of roles that people are getting into when we talk about modern companies coming out of Silicon Valley in San Francisco

02:52And in New York all around the world

02:56You would find where people are working

02:59Sometimes out of you know different places in during COVID we saw

03:04Hybrid work culture emerge and a lot of successful companies were built around that. So I think giving flexibility

03:12To people in this today's generation and the new era of work is important and if we try to

03:20You know challenge or try to restrict people from doing innovative work in their own space

03:27You actually as a business will get hurt and you might actually I would say it might be a competitive loss to you

03:33Compared to others who are getting a better work culture in other places

03:37I

03:38Would say if we see the rankings of best places to work probably we will find that people

03:43who have good work-life balance other companies which

03:48Get better results and make better success in markets as well

03:55Do you think there is a gap between the young

04:00entrepreneurs and those who are

04:03Little you know around 50s 60s. So is there do you think this is also a factor?

04:12I think definitely it is a factor because see every generation has seen their own

04:18You know struggle and we should respect

04:20Whatever the scenarios were of that time and whatever the situation was of the Indian market or of the companies of how you know

04:28What was the ease of doing business in India at that point of time?

04:33so we should respect the learnings and experiences that people have had before and you know, they are masters of their

04:41craft and they have

04:43Seen the challenges before so there is some insights that is helpful

04:48But I think somewhere you need to meet the newer generations and the newer trend newer people's expectations of work as well

04:55And people see companies are not just the product and not just
