Sharing a video that showcased her Halloween festivities with her family, Namita Thapar, the Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, took to Twitter to tag co-judge Anupam Mittal. She questioned his endorsement of Murthy's statement, expressing her concern, "Anupam Mittal, if we heed your advice and that of other experts to work 70 hours a week (along with the daunting commute time), will we ever have the time for our families, the creation of cherished memories, and, most importantly, for preserving our mental well-being?"



In response, her co-judge from Shark Tank, Anupam Mittal, chipped in and wrote, "I'm not keeping tabs, but I'm quite certain you're right up there in terms of weekly hours. It's wiser to embrace and discover a harmonious blend of work and life rather than struggling with the dichotomy of work-life balance." What are your thoughts on '70-Hour Work Week' advice? well, the two Shark Tank judges clearly hold different opinions on it.
