Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has been in the news for some time for pushing the 70-hour workweek and urging the youth of India to dedicate themselves to the nation's development. This was also Narayana Murthy's own work philosophy when he was in his prime and his children also noticed the same. 

Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha Murty recently published a biography titled 'An Uncommon Love: The Early Life of Sudha and Narayana Murthy' in which they spoke about the struggles they faced while raising a family while also running Infosys, India's second-biggest IT firm.

The book details how Narayana Murthy dedicated all his time to growing Infosys into the company that it is today. On the other hand, Sudha Murty raised both Rohan and Akshata Murty, missing his presence at home.

In an excerpt from the book published by The Times of India, Narayana Murthy's daughter Akshata once confronted him about work-life balance as she used to miss her father's presence at home. 

Akshata Murty, the wife of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, said years ago that her grandfather was her "real dad" and Narayana Murthy was her "bonus dad", who showed up from time to time. 

Narayana Murthy's son Rohan Murty also once confronted him, asking, "Who do you love more -- me and Akshata, or Infosys?" To this, Narayana Murthy replied, with a surprise, "Of course, I love you both the most."

Recently, a statement by Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has been facing heat from young workers online after he suggested that Indian youth should work for 70 hours a week. The 77-year-old IIT graduate said in an interview that a 70-hour work week for youth will boost the country's overall productivity.
