'My wife is wonderful; I love staring at her': Anand Mahindra’s jibe at 90-hour workweek suggestion
“My wife is wonderful; I love staring at her,” said Anand Mahindra , giving a sharp and humorous counter to the controversial call for a ‘ 90-hour workweek ’ made by L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan .
At the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 , speaking to journalist Palki Sharma, the chairman of Mahindra Group emphasized the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to work.
When asked how many hours he works in a week, Mahindra said, “This is what I wanted to avoid. I don’t want it to be about time. I don’t want it to be about quantity. Ask me about the quality of my work. Don’t ask me how many hours I have worked.”
Speaking directly to the youth, Mahindra clarified his position on the matter, saying, “I have huge respect for Narayana Murthy and others. So let me not get this wrong, of course. But I have to say something, I think this debate is in the wrong direction.” He added, “My point is we have to focus on the quality of work, not on the quantity of work. So it's not about 48, 40 hours, it's not about 70 hours, it's not about 90 hours.”
Taking a dig at Subrahmanyan’s remark—where he questioned, “How long can you stare at your wife?”—Mahindra said, “I want to tell people that I am on X or social media not because I am lonely. My wife is wonderful; I love staring at her. So, I am not here to make friends. I am here because social media is an amazing business tool. How in one platform, I get feedback from 11 million people.”
Mahindra stressed that balance fuels better decision-making.
If you are not spending time at home or with friends and if you are not reading and don’t have time to reflect, how will you bring the inputs into making the right decisions?” he asked.
