Narayan Murthy Suggests 3-Shift Work For Infrastructure Sector Employees, Sparks Debate

Mr Murthy urged the infrastructure industry to move beyond traditional one-shift, "They should not work just one shift, come 11 am and go at 5 pm."

Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy has said that the government needs to complete infrastructure projects on priority and emphasised the need for three working shifts instead of one. Mr Murthy's comment came while discussing the requirement for Bengaluru's development in the next 5-10 years. 

"Completing the Electronics City Metro and expanding to other areas, where there are a lot of companies located, must be prioritised," Mr Murthy said during a fireside chat with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath at the Bengaluru Tech Summit held on November 29. 

He urged the infrastructure industry to move beyond the traditional one-shift, "They should not work just one shift, come 11 am and go at 5 pm."
