'No Need To Work Till 3 Am': Swiggy CEO Bats For Work-Life Balance: 'Mar Jaoge Kisi Din Ye...' Leaves Internet Impressed


(MENAFN- Live Mint) Amid the constant eulogization of the 'hustle-culture ', several Indian CEOs, including Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy , have asked people to work overtime to excel at the office. Rejecting the idea as 'complete nonsense', Swiggy CEO Rohit Kapoor, has highlighted the importance of 'hustle-culture' and questioned the unnecessary need to 'burn midnight oil' at office.

“Kyu burn kar rahe ho midnight oil, kisne bola hai? Ghar jao, dog hai, biwi hai, girlfriend hai, Bache hain, Kuch toh karo...” Kapoor said at an event organised by YourStory. His video from the event has gone viral on social media with several netizens praising him for acting“normal”.

In the viral video, Kapoor spat some fard facts and rejected the culture based on the principle“to give everything to build something great.”
