70-Hour Work Week? Internet Applauds Bengaluru Start-Up's Take on Narayana Murthy's Model

The post generated several comments and likes from LinkedIn users for its unique concept. “Looks like someone from social media team of Zomato has switched to wakefit,” wrote one of the users

Narayana Murthy's recent comment on the 70-hour workweek sparked strong reactions online, dividing opinions on work-life balance and effective contribution to the nation's progress. Now, Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, co-founder of Bengaluru-based startup Wakefit, has reignited the debate on the 70-hour workweek with a unique perspective. In a new video from the startup, he suggests that employees should prioritise sleep, aiming for at least 70 hours per week, to enhance productivity in their roles.

In a video shared on LinkedIn by the founder, the brand emphasised the importance of taking proper rest to be more productive at work. In the video's caption, he wrote, “70 hours a week. We at Wakefit have been following this debate for a while now. With the start of a new financial year and appraisal season in top gear, today seems to be a good time to share our views. Yes, we sincerely believe we should all put in 70 hours every week for maximum productivity.”

“A growing economy like ours needs the 70 hour contribution from every team member year after year. Honestly, it is not asking for much. Our strong stand on 70-hour-weeks is elaborated in this video. Hope more organisations make this a stringent requirement for growth,” he added.

The post generated several comments and likes from LinkedIn users for its unique concept. “Looks like someone from social media team of Zomato has switched to wakefit,” wrote one of the users.

“Bang on, chaaa gaye tussi, Wakefit and team. And for all the corporates a good message to be incorporated during your meets, wait a second I am talking about 70 hrs of sleep output. Start focusing on the health and mental peace of employees, else others will make it, added another user.

A third user added: “This is lovely, Chaitanya! Hilarious and gets the message across with a beautiful brand connect. My only request - please consider subtitling in English rather than repeating what’s being said in Hindi so that you can be accessible to non-Hindi speakers.”
