Long working hours are not new in the Indian startup world. However, when an entrepreneur based in Bengalur publicly said his team was working 12 hours a day, six days a week and often on Sunday, it ruled the debate on the bustle cult.
Mohan Kumar, co -founder of Mobile Gaming Startup Matics, shared the X post and said, “We have strict time timing from 10:00 to 22:00 and 6 days a week. Nevertheless, our team members work over 10 and Sunday.”
He watched this by dealing with the will: “People criticize it, but the reality is that if we have to build the first global product built in India, we need everyone to be everyone. Let’s move from thinking to building thinking.”
In a separate interview with Hindustan TimesKumar said that the company does not consider its employees to be employees, but as “founding members on a shared mission”.
“We don’t build anything for paychecks or survival,” he said. “Of course not everyone resonates with this approach, and that’s okay. But for those who do this, this way doesn’t feel like” work “. It looks like chasing a dream. ”
The post quickly triggered the reactions online. Some appreciated the commitment to build a product from scratch, while others marked fear of burnout, balance between work and private life and expectations of exploitative jobs.
After the will of Kumar deleted his earlier place and cleaned the air by saying: “Guys, cold, no one will come at 10:00.
The user commented: “Ragebait, they know how to get involved in their mathematical application.”
Another user commented: “I do not understand what is wrong on the fact that people want to give their own time to something, no one has been forced, everyone works voluntarily and tries to create something great. Let people match until more responsibility comes in their lives.
