Harsh Goenka slams L&T chairman’s 'work on Sunday' remark (Image source: @beatsinbrief, @hvgoenka/X) Larsen & Toubro chairman SN Subrahmanyan has sparked controversy with his remarks suggesting employees should work 90 hours a week, including Sundays. His comment, shared in a now-viral video, has drawn sharp criticism, with many questioning the feasibility and fairness of such a demand. Subrahmanyan even expressed regret over not being able to make employees work on Sundays, a statement that has only added fuel to the debate.
Joining the conversation, RPG Enterprises chairman Harsh Goenka offered a pointed response to Subrahmanyan on X: “90 hours a week? Why not rename Sunday to ‘Sun-duty’ and make ‘day off’ a mythical concept!”
While acknowledging the value of hard work, Goenka emphasised the risks of pushing too far, warning against the dangers of burnout. He shared his belief in working “hard and smart,” but cautioned that turning life into a never-ending office shift is counterproductive. “Work-life balance isn’t optional, it’s essential,” he stated, adding the hashtag #WorkSmartNotSlave.
