The 90-Hour Workweek Debate: Success or Sacrifice?90 hours a week. Let that sink in.That’s what the L&T Chairman thinks it takes to achieve extraordinary success. But let’s be real—what does that even mean?In this episode, I’m sharing my unfiltered take on this whole debate. Is this the price we pay for ambition, or are we losing sight of what truly matters? What happens to our relationships, our health, our sanity when work takes over everything else?

No corporate jargon. No generic productivity talk. Just a raw, honest conversation about hustle culture, balance (or the lack of it), and why staring at your loved ones instead of your laptop might not be such a bad idea after all.

What You’ll Get from This Episode:

The Reality of a 90-Hour Workweek

Let’s break this down—90 hours a week means working almost 13 hours a day, seven days a week. That’s not just “grinding.” That’s giving up your personal life, sleep, and probably your health.

But here’s the bigger question—does working insane hours actually guarantee success? Or does it just burn people out faster than ever?

Hustle Culture: Motivation or Manipulation?

Some call it dedication. Others call it exploitation.

Hustle culture has convinced us that working more equals achieving more. But let’s be real—if long hours were the only secret to success, every factory worker and cab driver would be a millionaire.

So who really benefits from this mindset? And at what point does hard work turn into self-destruction?

What’s the Cost of Always Being On?

You can chase titles, money, and recognition, but what’s left when you finally look up?

Do you still have time for family?
When was the last time you had a real conversation with someone you love?
Are you actually enjoying life or just surviving between deadlines?

Is Balance Even Possible?

People say work-life balance like it’s a checklist. But in today’s world, is it even a real thing?

Instead of blindly following what success should look like, maybe it’s time to define it for ourselves. What if success isn’t just about hours worked but about freedom, control, and fulfillment?
