“My fervent desire and humble desire to youngsters is please don’t fall into this trap of I will moonlight, I will do work from home, I will come to office three days in a week,” he said while speaking at the Asia Economic Dialogue organised by the Ministry of External Affairs.
It is believed that the work from home culture, which became “a new normal”, during Covid-19 pandemic, is the reason why people took secondary jobs.
While companies like CRED and Swiggy supported its employees taking another job (under certain conditions), most of the IT companies opposed the concept saying it can affect their employees’ productivity and data confidentiality.
‘India needs culture of honesty’
Murthy further said that India needs a culture of honesty, no favouritism, quicker decision making and hassle less transactions to prosper as a country. He pointed out that only a small section works hard in the country and a majority of people have not imbibed the culture.
“We need to build a culture of quick decision making, quick implementation, hassle less transactions, honesty in transactions, no favouritism,” Murthy said, highlighting that such cultural attributes will help India join all the developed countries.
“If we want the business people to stay only in India and do everything in India, I think they will be very happy to do. All that we are respectfully requesting is that quick decisions must be taken, they must be implemented quickly and they should be no harassment, no unnecessary hurdle,” he added.
Murthy drew a comparison between India and China saying that both countries were of the same size in the late 1940s, but the neighbour has grown to be six times the size of India due to the culture it has imbibed.
