New Delhi: Shark Tank India judge and Emcure Pharmaceuticals' Executive Director Namita Thapar expressed her views on how employees are currently always working and spending no time with their loved ones. Taking it to the microblogging platform Twitter, Thapar urged people to stop wearing ‘I work long hours, I travel a lot, I have no time for family’ as a badge of honour. She also urged fellow entrepreneurs to take steps to fix the work-life balance of employees at all the companies. Fixing the work-life balance will ensure that “we have a mentally fit and more productive generation”. 

"Stop wearing ‘I work long hours, I travel a lot, I have no time for family’ as a badge of honour. Let’s fix work life balance at all companies so we have a mentally fit and more productive generation next that get quality time and involvement from both parents," Thapar said in her Tweet.
