Infosys Chairman Narayana Murthy attended the 5th T20I between India and England at Wankhede on a Sunday, joined by Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Bollywood superstars.
Rishi Sunak shared a picture on Twitter, congratulating India and posting a photo with Narayana Murthy. This sparked a meme war on the internet, with netizens flooding the comment section with memes and parodies.
The memes quickly turned into a debate on work-life balance, particularly focusing on the recent remarks made by L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan, who suggested employees should work 90 hours a week to boost productivity. Many netizens joked that it was a "dream for L&T Chairman to enjoy a match on Sunday."
The comments did not stop at Subrahmanyan. The meme frenzy continued as people also poked fun at executives like Narayana Murthy, questioning the rarity of seeing him enjoy a match on a Sunday. The debate over work-life balance, ignited by Narayana Murthy's earlier comments about a 70-hour workweek, resurfaced with full force.

Subrahmanyan's recent controversial statement, where he said, "I regret I am not able to make you work on Sundays. If I can make you work on Sundays, I will be happier because I work on Sundays," further fueled the debate on social media. His remarks supporting the 90-hour workweek narrative sparked frustration and led to heated discussions on the need for balance in modern corporate culture.
The debate continues to rage online, with strong opinions on both sides, highlighting the growing concern over work culture and personal time.
In conclusion, while the meme war sparked by Narayana Murthy’s Sunday match outing provided ample entertainment for netizens, it also led to critical reflection on the ongoing work-life balance debate. Many took to social media not just for humor but to voice their opinions on the growing demands of modern corporate culture and the importance of personal time.
