Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys, is a well-known business magnate and philanthropist who is often in the news for his achievements and his advocacy of the 70-hour workweek, which he believes is necessary for success in the business world. Recently, he was spotted enjoying a sweet treat with his daughter, Akshata Murty, who is married to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, at a popular ice cream parlour in Bengaluru called Corner House in Jayanagar.
The photo of Narayana and Akshata enjoying their ice cream cups went viral on social media, drawing both amusement and curiosity from netizens. Many people couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the sight of this father-daughter duo unwinding on a Monday evening, seemingly defying the very 70-hour workweek principle advocated by Mr. Murthy.
Internet Reacts
The online community, particularly among Desis, has turned such instances into witty memes whenever the topic of family or work-life balance arises. Some people joked about how they should be working instead of enjoying a sweet treat, while others were amazed at how Narayana manages to balance his work and personal life so effectively.
Akshata was recently in India along with her parents to attend the launch event of author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s latest book titled “An Uncommon Love: The Early Life of Sudha and Narayana Murthy.” The event, held at St Joseph’s College of Commerce in Bengaluru, provided a nostalgic platform for Narayana to talk about his initial encounters with his wife during the early 1970s. Sudha Murty, known for her avid love of literature, was also captivated by the extensive book collection of Mr. Murthy’s roommate, igniting the spark that would eventually lead to their enduring connection.
Narayana’s candid moment with his daughter has given us a glimpse into his personal life and how he balances his work and family responsibilities. It has also sparked a lot of conversation around the 70-hour workweek principle and how effective it really is.
