New Delhi. Wipro Executive Chairman Rishad Premji said that work-life balance is ‘extremely important’ and he believes that the hybrid work model is very helpful for the employees. This comment of Rashid has come at a time when this issue has become a topic of discussion in India after the statement given by Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy on work life balance. Recently, Narayan Murthy once again reiterated his old statement and said that Indians should pay more attention to work instead of work life balance. He also questioned the tradition of working only five days a week instead of six.
Wipro Executive Chairman Rishad Premji does not agree with Narayana Murthy’s views on work-life balance and considers it very important. Rishad Premji said that the concept of work-life balance has now completely changed. Earlier this meant only the time of arrival and departure from office, but today, it can also mean not limiting “Instagram access”.

The employee will have to set limits
“I learned this very quickly in my early days, even before Covid,” Rishad Premji said in a fireside chat on the first day of Bengaluru Tech Summit 2024. You have to define work-life balance yourself, organizations will never ensure it for you. He said that therefore, you have to decide what it means and draw your own boundaries.
That’s why there is an uproar
In fact, the discussion on this topic has been in full swing since Infosys founder Narayana Murthy reiterated his belief in a 70-hour work week and said that he does not believe in the idea of ’work-life balance’. Till said he was disappointed by India’s change from a six-day work week to a five-day work week in 1986. Many people are criticizing the views of Narayana Murthy. Many people say that along with work, it is very important to take out time for family and yourself. The management and owners of companies want their employees to work day and night so that their profits increase.
