Adani Group’s founder and chairman, Gautam Adani, on Thursday, December 26, expressed his opinion about the work-life balance debate. The executive highlighted the importance of someone to be happy in what they do in order to maintain the work-life balance properly.
“Your work-life is balanced when you do things which you like doing,” said Gautam Adani, in the video shared by the news agency ANI.
The Adani conglomerate head also highlighted the importance of avoiding the mistake of imposing one person’s work-life balance method on someone else.
“Your work-life balance should not impose on me or vice versa,” said Adani, focusing on someone else’s work-life balance strategy, which might not work for a third person.
People on social media agreed with Adani’s take on the work-life balance debate. In response to the agency’s post, Kajal Mishra said, “You are absolutely right, everyone should do their job.”
Infrastructure front
In the same interaction, Adani also spoke about the company’s contribution to the infrastructure of the country. Highlighting that building infrastructure is one of the “toughest” jobs, Adani said, “if it was easy everyone would have done it.”
Adani focused on other firms being large in terms of industry size but not contribution to infrastructure.
“On infrastructure, the companies which are bigger than the Adani group, they are not doing even 25% work (on infrastructure), which Adani is doing…They are larger on the basis of industry but not on infrastructure,” said the chairman, according to another video shared by the news agency.
Adani Group’s flagship company, Adani Enterprises Ltd shares closed 1.23 per cent higher at ₹2,401.85 after Thursday’s trading session, compared to ₹2,372.55 at the previous market close. Adani Group stocks saw a decent rally on Thursday, with shares rising up to 5 per cent amid strong buying momentum in the market.
