is the idea that you are working, but also the people that build it. And if the people require
00:06
a certain amount of flexibility in today's work culture, that is something that you need to
00:15
strike a balance with, with the company. Otherwise, you know, you are not building
00:20
a good work culture in your company. What is your view or opinion on entire
00:26
L&T chairman's controversy that has erupted on social media?
00:32
So, I would not say that it's a controversy. I think it's a matter of opinion. Everybody has
00:38
got a different opinion. Everybody has got different priorities. If I think in my case,
00:44
if I know that I have a schedule wherein I need to work for 13-14 hours a day because
00:50
that much work is required for me to achieve my end goal, I don't mind working for 13-14 hours.
00:56
But honestly, if you expect me or if people think that I need to work for 13-14 hours every day,
01:04
and for that matter, anybody. I think for every day, we are not machines. At the end of the day,
01:09
work-life balance is equally important. You need to give time to your family. You need to give
01:13
time to your parents, kids, everybody. And I think eventually, once, you know, you become
01:20
like a machine if you will work like 13-14 hours every day. So, it is very important to make sure
01:26
that you're working but simultaneously, you're giving time to yourself. You need to give time
01:30
to your body. You need to give time to your parents. So, it is equally important because
01:36
if you keep on working every day for 13-14 hours, eventually, for the rest of the time,
01:41
you're sleeping, right? And you're not able to give time to yourself or to your family. So,
01:45
it becomes difficult working 13-14 hours a day. How should businesses approach the work-life
01:54
balance of employees? So, I think for employees, every employee has got a different skill set.
02:02
There are few people who can get their job done within 4-5 productive hours, right? So, it's like,
02:08
you know, as an employer, I would never ask my employees to work for 13-14 hours. I would
02:14
always just give them a task. If they can complete it in 4-5, 6-7 hours, I'm absolutely fine with it.
02:21
And if they think, no, that, you know, probably, we're a little slow in our work and we have to
02:26
work for 12-13 hours, it's up to them. For me, I'm going to give them a task and they need to achieve
02:31
that particular goal within the time frame as per, you know, their schedule.
02:37
What is your reaction on L&T chairman's remark?
02:43
Yeah, I think there is a lot of glamour around the 90-hour work week and, you know,
02:50
one can get bored looking at the face of your wife. So, personally, I feel, I think this comment
02:56
could have been structured differently and probably would have come across as insensitive
03:01
to many. But my take on this is that I think what he meant to say is that to achieve something
03:07
extraordinary, sometimes you have to put some extraordinary input as well to get an extraordinary
03:11
output. Having said that, I personally fundamentally believe that in the day and age in which we are
03:16
living today, where we are using a lot of technology to solve problems and there's a lot
03:21
of use of artificial intelligence and process efficiencies have become much better. I think
03:27
a lot of technology-driven decisions can simplify how humans operate and you don't need to necessarily
03:34
spend 90 hours or x number of hours. So, one does not need to be a clock watcher
03:41
to accomplish something extraordinary and which means that you have to back your process, you have
03:45
to back your intent, intensity. Sometimes you can accomplish the, you know, the job of 10 hours
03:51
probably in five if you have the right process. So, personally, I fundamentally believe in this
03:56
day and age everybody wants a well-balanced output. Having said that, I do understand that
04:03
some differentiated input is required. So, that is my personal view about this comment. It could
04:09
have been definitely structured much better and I think the people of today realize that.
04:14
I think it is often argued that typically founders or people who are in the position
04:20
of creating something afresh or starting something from scratch, they have to probably put
04:27
an inordinate amount of effort upfront and their own work life possibly requires them to go the
04:33
extra mile and which is why people who build companies from scratch or are labeled as founders,
04:39
they have to be prepared, mentally prepared to go the extra mile. Having said that, it may not
04:44
be feasible to expect the same from every single employee in that company. So, I think organizations
04:50
need to create well-defined structures. Organizations need to ensure that people who
04:55
are working towards achieving the goal that that organization envisions to achieve
