Infosys’ Narayan Murthy Urges Indians To Adopt China’s 9-9-6 Work Model, Sparks Backlash | Spotlight | N18G

Infosys founder Narayan Murthy has reignited the debate on work culture after invoking China’s “996” model while reiterating his push for longer working hours. In a recent interview, he said people must prioritise seriousness in life before thinking of work-life balance. Murthy defended his stance by citing China’s 9 am to 9 pm, six-day work schedule and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 100-hour work week. He has made similar arguments earlier, including urging youngsters to work 70 hours and referencing Japan and Germany’s post-war productivity. His comments have drawn strong online reactions, with many highlighting burnout, low wages and lack of overtime pay.
