This prompted comparisons to Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, who previously suggested a 70-hour work week for young professionals. Social media users humorously responded to Subrahmanyan's comments, with one meme depicting him as “Narayana Murthy on steroids.” Following the uproar, L&T defended its stance, emphasizing its commitment to nation-building and the need for collective effort to advance India's development.
