He is indirectly saying he doesn't want to pay his employees and wants them to work like donkies.
He is the only one who has managed to scale from a react app to a present size . Somebody will have to sacrifice . We are not America
@@mohitanand1844 Please see the ground reality of USA. So many people work 2-3 jobs to try to make ends meet. Please don't assume that America is some heavenly realm. So many people are struggling and are living paycheck to paycheck and on food stamps.
@@19chiru it's a heaven compared to india .
@@19chiru atleast they have jobs, not like India where there is massive unemployment.
@@mohitanand1844 lol. See the crime rate and the racism still faced by many.
Also FYI, in Canada and the US, a new hatred is being brewed towards Asian people, especially Indians because of the jobs we are taking from the local people.
I don't know what he does working 20 hours a day, ola is still a pathetic app.
😂😂😂😂good one
With a pathetic electric scooter. He increases prices randomly for every cancellation for 20 hours I guess.
1000cr loss even after working 20 hours a day 😂😂😂
20 hours a day and seven days a week … bhai thora to socha hota bolne se pahle … and what kind of news reporter is she.. even though it is a casual podcast .. still she should have countered him with some facts.
Exactly..that means in remaining 4 hours he'll sleep, take bath, have food, give interviews... Seriously? Koyi sense hai iska.... A bare minimum of 6 hours of sleep is required for man to be healthy....
Bhai why do you think she got roasted by Kapil Sibal? Because she speaks without thinking
He means to say he watches movies in his office 20 hours a day while his employees work
Crony capitalism has made its base strong in India. Thanks to the government. 😅
Then why are you using a smartphone sir ?? All these things are products of that only
@@mohitanand1844 your question is baseless.
@@IndianKumar584not baseless you would have been using keypad phones with BSNL sim with crony capitalism
@@mohitanand1844 andhbhakt justifying his masters, as usual 🤣🤣👍👍
@@IndianKumar584I dont even vote .that's the truth irrespective of party in power
And one day you got cardiac arrest.and every thing left.so be pratical guys.work and enjoy both are the needed in our life
Don't Try this at home or work
😂😂😂😂 true
Working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week is humanely impossible.
Exactly... Kitna feku hai... I guess in his dictionary... Giving interviews is also considered work...
Feku ne ek nayi prajati paida Kari hai, fennel aur shoot bolne waalon ki.
he dont work only meetings and followup
@@badshag8289 even doing that for 20 hours consistently is next to impossible😊
He thinks meeting and just overlooking the company is his work.
At his level, work is quite easy.
The employees at the base of the company are squeezed.
He works for his own money generation but employees work for their family.
When will the CEO/ Upper mngmt people realize that they work 20 hr a day because the pay/rewards structure for the risks they took is paying rich dividends. People have different priorities. Most never get a chance and other choose not to take huge risks in life because they have too many people depending on them. Perhaps, one failure could derail a family. Many could be trying to make ends meet by working for an employer because their priorities are different. Their priorities mean that they cannot and will not work for you 24x7.
Absolutely, the comment about priorities resonates. A 70-hour workweek isn't feasible for everyone, and it's frustrating when it's presented as the only option.
Funfact: They don't work 20 hrs a day. :)
bruh. What are you guys even smoking at this point? Why are everyone riding narayana murthy's no life concept?
Why a normal person shouldn't focus on his personal hobbies or spend quality time with their family when they're back from office?
The irony of this whole situation is you guys want the entry level freshers work for some 140hrs but don't pay for the time they dedicated. You gonna still pay peanuts to him, while you keep the money earnt from their hardwork and increase your networth.
Please don't expect or even preach to people they need to work more hours while paying less money to them. THEY OWN NOTHING TO YOU.
Absolutely, the comment about priorities resonates. A 70-hour workweek isn't feasible for everyone, and it's frustrating when it's presented as the only option.
LoL, right wing ideology stands for crony capitalism, stories like look Modiji works 20 hrs a day, that capitalist works 22 hours a day
Exactly. If you pay in Lacs for entry level people ..then they will also work long hours... But na na... You guys want to implement modern day slavery system to whole new level....
Also this particular guy is faku... 20 hrs 7 days humanely impossible.... He would die in few years...kya baat kar hai yeh...
That means he sleeps eats bathe give interview.... All in those remaining 4 hrs...
Absolutely correct, they think about the employees as if they are bloody slaves.
Narayan Murthy salary increased to 80 Crore per month from 80 Lakh per month in Last 10 Years
& what about Employees Salary Increment
AAP tapasya karo coz it’s ur business, but u won’t say it if u are an employee under me . Period
Don't take it seriously,its PR
What is PR?
"I work 20 hours a day!" That's CAP!
How is it possible to work 20 hours a day ? A human being can’t function below 5 hrs of sleep and this person sleeps 4 hours only every single day ? Lol why work soo much when you can’t even be alive to live with the money you made ( yes this goes for those people as well who deem work as life as well).
Feku se inspired hai
Bro put him in debate with foreign company's owner then he would come to know. I never heard big foreign companies CEO saying to work more hours even if you don't get paid for it.
Bro, I had worked 24 hours in my company on two-three instances
I came at 9 am and went home by walking 6 km by road at 9 am the next day.
I left the company.
2 hours for podcast + 2 hours travel for this. Now, when would you sleep sarr?
Saar probably sleeps in his Business class airline seats
He probably works in his dreams too while sleeping, that's how he comes up with the bullshit 20 hours a day
Sick and tired of hearing all these bull shit..They don't even think before speaking...
Exactly
I always support "made in india" but there is a reason that i use uber/ rapido over ola.
Podcast with smita prakash definitely make him worst.
Even robots don’t work 20hours a day wtf
You guys don't understand. He counts even breathing and sleeping as working! My question is where are 4 hours? Perhaps his clock is skewed and it counts 20 hours in a day.
your skin looks shiny, no puffy eyes, no dark circles, i wish even i had that kind of energy
Speaks about how inefficient and indisciplined a CEO and his company is that he needs to work 20 hours 7 days. Good thing I uninstalled Ola long back😅
Copy Uber, steal Bezo’s words and then say that we have different ‘ethos’ than the west. What a sham😂
Tapasya!
Start paying by the hours and then we'll see if you still don't believe in work - life balance. Capitalist CEOs have gotten quite comfortable with having their employees slog for hours at the negligible expense to their company. The expectation of having your employees work as hard as you are should come at similar compensations as well buddy. Remember it's a two way street.
There is a difference between working 20hrs for yourself and 20hrs for someone else. He wants others to work hard for him to reap maximum rewards. If he is that firm believer why can't he work similar jobs to that offered in his company or elsewhere company puri hekdi nikal jayegi , he wont even get any compensation for working 20hrs and 7 days a week.
Shits like him are the reason people want to leave india and settle in the same western culture in spite of so many opportunities in startup here. They respect our time work life balance and health. And these assholes expect us to work for them and reap the rewards themselves. Then not give hike. Aur ake yeh sab gyanbazi. Tapasya my foot.
It's easy to preach when you have an entire army of house that helps to take care of daily chores required to run the house.
He works for himself not for his boss
Anyone in this world can work 20 hours a day for himself unless an opportunity
Thank God the comment section is uniformly calling out this bullshit of dissing work-life balance. These rich pricks need to understand that the zero work life balance is for their own business. Why 20 hours, work for 23 hours and keep 30 minutes for sleeping and 30 for one meal a day. I pray Ola reach new heights thanks to the extra 3 hours that you get due to my idea of the extra 3 hours that you can get lmao
Give your employees same salary as yours. Then they will work for same time.
Try picking 80 back to back calls in a call centre. It’s impossible to enjoy that work.
no wonder Ola scooters are an unpredictable time Bombs.. the employees must have been overworked and couldn't do it perfectly..!!
My father was workaholic he said il spend entire time with family after retirement and last month he died 😢 frds pls give time to ur family hm thode me b kam chla lenge
That's why I stopped using Ola
Kya fayada 20hr kaam krne ka jb tumhari company loss me chal rahi hai toh. Tu dusre ke company me 20hr kaam kr ke dikha.
I used to work 12 hours, with just an hour break in between. I have anxiety, high bp, migraine, brain fog and memory issues so intense that I keep losing important stuff all the time. One time i fell asleep behind the wheel at a drive-through. Do not ruin your health people, some of these damages are not reversible.
in this concept of work life balance, i think the situation in india is shit because majority people sacrifice their passion for family security, thaat is why they take these shit ass jobs which lacks theit interest
Sir aap tapasya karo coz it’s ur business, but u won’t say it if u are an employee under me .
tu agr sachme 20hrs work krta na, to tere aakhon k niche dark circles ajate.. tu thik se baat v nhi kar pata...tu kya humko Chu samajhta hai kya?? tu jyada kaam krta hi nhi hai, tera huliya hi sab bata deta hai..
Bro worked 24/7 and people still uses UBER
These types of employers are a disgrace. Are u ready to pay your employee on an hour basis?
Shame on the fourth pillar of democracy for not questioning this.
Bro eating is not working lol
What is the purpose of working 20hrs a day when you produce a shitty app and service?
If you pay your employees well enough and not give them any mental pressure they'll work happily for more than 8-9 hours,
I started my career as a assistant technician at a 4 wheeler showroom, the timing was 9 to 6:30 some times 7:30 and the salary was 6000, my senior's salary was 12000 and the experienced technician's 14000. Even some times we had to come on sunday's.
We used to work non-stop, still we were not getting any appreciation nor leaves easily. Nobody thinks about automobile service industry because there's less demand because the supply is more.
Just for experience we had to work like slaves.
And you casually say you don't agree with work life balance.
Am I the one who is wondering ye kya fhuk ke aya??😂
He is founder of a company and he owns shares so he will work as much as he can but employees get fixed amount so cant compare founder and employee
Work: 20 hours a day, 7 days a week! Hmm… Do you eat, sleep, read, learn, spend time with family etc.. etc.. within 4 hours? 🤷🏽♂️
Lies, lies and more lies!
So he wants india to be No.1 so that his company tops the lists in the world. What a selfish goal I would say.
Bhai save the words and spare the cash and then see the happiness with which people would work for 140 hours
He said he works 20 hrs a day 7 days a week and doesn't believe in work life balance !
How come his companies miss deadlines ?
Either he really believes he is brought to this earth to make electric scooters, or he is working hard to escape from whatever insecurities and demons he’s running from.
If public decides to boycott Ola, he would work 24 hours even.
Just because some people are crazy and achieved something, don't expect the entire world to become like you.
8hours sleep is necessary. Either he is lying or he has become mad .
Disclaimer: Soon, Ola is raising funding
Still the company is in loss damn
Only some visionaries understand why he is saying this. For some people like Bhavish work is life and life is work, because they enjoy it.
Work 24x7, because 20hrs haven't made your company debt free nor it has solved problems with your app, electric scooter and after sales service.
He can't work for 20 hours a day, if he does then how does he manage to eat, shit, sleep etc. within the remaining 4 hours??
It's not proper WL Balance. It doesn't mean whoever works long hours are more productive or whoever works less hours are not productive!
There are people who focus well and finish work quickly and some diverts and works slowly longer.
Everything is about priority amd whatever one finds it priority, will give time and attention to it!!
This is nonsensical. Companies remain silent when it comes to paying decent salaries to their employees. Such a wasteful culture is being imposed on our society, where overworking oneself is portrayed as a virtue. All of this is done to enable capitalists to profit more and exploit government subsidies and trade benefits.
So he is doing his fancy interviews outside of his 20 hours a day, seven days a week?
Who manages his household chores? Does he have a housewife or does he expect his working wife to also take care of the household chores? Or maybe he doesn't go home because he only has 4 hours left after work to eat, shit and sleep.
“I work 20 hours a day”
My Ola vehicle is still in service centre for 30 days and yet to receive it for a small issue. Please don’t purchase this vehicle, this guy is a big fraudster and should be behind the bars for scamming people
You'd enjoy 20 hours a day when you can make half the descisions from home and stacking money. But you wouldn't enjoy it if you're driving through traffic and air pollution for 20 hours
but work passion bhi toh hona chahiye, many of the employees are just frustated from their work and thats why They cant overwork, If u have passion for something, u can invest ur whole day into it
20 hours a day mtlb bhai hamare nhaana, sona, khaana, gym, ghoomna sub 4 hours me krr lete. Talent 👍🏻
Never watch Never listen to this thing called "Smita prakash"
Boundaries blur when you love what you do.
After 48 hours pay for each hour then everyone will work. You expect to work 140 hour and pay for 48 hour and rest is only your profit. So please don't give gyan like this
His wive is working 24 hours a day in GB road
I feel sad for those who are working at OLA😮
If i enjoy work , qnd ill be happy in family too ,but where is a time too enjoy it with family ?
so this interview comes in his 20hr work routine🙃?
If you are working for long hours means you are incapable to complete job in right time. In Europe there is work life balance, it is not a concept but a way of life, they are happy and healthy
Who is gonna taken him seriously.
Ola Electric's net loss widened 7.6% to INR 1,584.4 Cr in the financial year 2023-24 (FY24) from INR 1,472.1 Cr in the previous year
Ola scooter is a scam....
Thousands of scooter in service center and no one to reply
It's not about being no 1 economy. It's about being a happy lot ! Yes everyone should work, but for that ? To make the already rich capitalists and investors already rich ?
Wtff exactly do these people do 20 hours a day, 7 days a week? Seriously, send us a complete routine. We want a video showing no breaks for at least 10 days straight. Hire someone and upload a minimum of 16 hours of footage per day. Let's see it. Even the necessary tasks can be completed in 13 to 16 hours max. Human brains need rest; if you're working 20 hours a day, the task probably isn't that mentally demanding. It's impossible to work productively and effectively for 20 hours a day over a long period. These people just market themselves for the next funding round. lmao
Guys please don't be rude to him..
I can't like everyone's comment yr 😂
Purpose-driven work fuels round-the-clock dedication.
Any team consists of different personalities and not everyone in a team can be a team leader. It’s good to have leadership qualities for eveyone in the team, but to make a team work not everyone can be a team leader or an entrepreneur. If I’m a founder of a company even I would probably spend all my time working but please don’t expect employees who work for you to fill in varied roles and responsibilities to invest the same amount of time a Founder would be motivated to put in. You are setting yourself for a rude awakening! Focus on motivating younger generation to improve productivity in the minimum working hours possible! Would you be okay if an individual spend 70 hours a week without any productivity? long hours ≠ productivity. If Bhavish Agarwal had to work for someone else, I bet he wouldn’t endorse what he said in the video by any chance!
No wonder why riding an ola has become a struggle
Do your "tapasya" as it is your company but dont expect others to do this for you that you have on a salary. Be a responsible employer, build sustainable employment, care for their well being and only then you will contribute towards nation building.
First be able to pay the cist of 24*7 of our time then... talk about that.
Can Investors trust Bhavish Agarwal? He started Ola by copying Uber's model. Then he used started Ola Electric and kept the shares for himself instead of keeping it in the parent companies name and now he is listing Ola Electric where he is the majority shareholder and letting Ola Cabs die. The person who used VC investors, will he think about small shareholders? And till today the man has not generated a single rupee of profit in any of the companies 😂
Working 20 hours including sleeping, eating, exercising, etc
Building something great knows no timetable.
Is that why your drivers abuse you always?
Works 20hrs a week, but still cant fix his burnng scooters
Cheap rated Elon Musk wannabe clone
Owner apni property ko surakshit rakhne k liye din raat ek karta hai . Agar har ek employee admi ko salary k badle property k profit ka barabar hissa doge, company k andar tumhare jaisa he uski puri family k liye flat,khana,gym, swimming pool,bar, restaurant, hospital , theatre, school, college park dedoge toh wo b din raat udar he pada rahega. Admi ko family surakahit chahiye.. family matlab maa baap b included hone chahiye. Tab uska pura dhyan kaam pe lagega. Varna bimar ma baap.. unsatisfied patni ,nakhush bacche uska focus lete rahenge
Will you pay your employees for 20 hrs and also you need rest as you need to think, if you would realize this ola scooters wouldn't have be burning on the streets.
Give them shares they will automatically work for 20 hrs
Goals don't keep office hours.
"If" you enjoy your work. If you respect your employees then you will pay them overtime as well. You will see their enjoyment
Jaise pehle khet k bagal me ghar hote the .din raat rakhwali mazduri sab usi me lage rehte. Waise agar app worker ko company area me maa baap biwi bacho k sath rehne doge . Aur unke bacho ko bhi education training n job gaurantee karwa doge. Jaise farming me hota tha. Aur maa baap k full equipped hospital doge .aur khane ka canteen pure family k liye din raat khana .. n profit ka barabar hissa .. toh pura din worker company me pada rahega. Kyuki baki kuch k liye time dene k jarurat he nahi ..
Relax everyone, he probably wanted to say 20 hours a week, he said 20 hours a day accidentally. Lets give him some benefit of doubt.
Ha chaat le uski ja
Watching this video reminds me of Dr Vikas Divyakirti's speech regarding sleeping hrs 😂😂😂
You will still pay people peanuts. Tapasya for what? To fill your pockets! Ja ke aapka app fix kijiye pehle. Wahi nahi chalta theek se despite you end up working 20 hours a day.
You can build country, I will enjoy my life while working smart.
If u like so much your work then work for 10k monthly salary only 20hours a day😊 no dividend and shares just love for work
He won't be motivated to work for even 1 hour a day for Murty
He literally said he works 20 hrs seven day. Mfer do3snt even work half of the stated hours. If you dont have family or dont want to spend time with family doesnt mean others dont. Want employees to work 3xtra pay overtime. Moreover employees have no stake in business. They are not going to earn more when business is more profitable. Employees will work as you pay them.
