Devina Mehra, the founder of First Global, offered a strong critique of the idea of working long hours, such as 90 hours a week, saying in a social media post, “This type of recommendation of working for ‘nation-building’ or ‘company-building’ is bunkum.”
Her comments came following a statement by Larsen and Toubro (L&T) top boss SN Subrahmanyan, who was seen advocating working on Sundays.
She challenged the common notion that working more hours equates to higher productivity and greater contribution to the economy. In a post on the social media platform X, Mehra shared arguments delving into several important areas, like productivity, work culture, gender equality, and the broader social implications of such work expectations.
