Amitabh Kant, former CEO of NITI Aayog, weighed in on this debate by emphasizing the importance of productivity over merely extending work hours. Kant highlighted that India's productivity is significantly lower compared to countries like China and the US, suggesting that the focus should be on enhancing efficiency and output rather than just increasing the number of hours worked.
