Government not considering introducing 70-hour work week

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy's recommendation of a 70-hour work week to boost work productivity has garnered both support and criticism. The Indian government has denied considering this proposal. OpenAI investor Vinod Khosla echoed Murthy's recommendation and suggested that those who felt attacked by the idea needed mental health therapy. He emphasised that not working 70 hours a week is a valid choice with its own consequences. Some users questioned the purpose of life beyond work and earning money.
