Infosys co-founder N.R.
Narayana Murthy sparked debate by endorsing a 72-hour workweek modeled on China’s banned 996 system, citing national progress and Prime Minister Modi’s long hours.
His remarks drew widespread criticism in India, with workers highlighting unsustainable conditions, burnout, and inadequate pay.
Critics stressed that productivity requires fair compensation and work-life balance, not excessive hours, especially given India’s infrastructure challenges and rising living costs.
China has since outlawed the 996 practice, calling it a labor violation, undermining Murthy’s argument.
