Why is there no work life balance in Indian corporate setup?

When you have a population of a billion, it isnt easy to chill 4 days a week. While europeans cos are contemplating on moving to a 4 day work week, there would be an indian out there working all 7 days.

I work in corporate in India and have amazing WLB

We have more people manager than doer.

Doer are half skilled. People manager do micromanagement to get things done.

In my organisation (an MNC) our peers leave after 8-9 hours of work and have a life outside of work (hobbies, fitness etc). In the Indian arm, < 10 hours of work would get you a stinker from the head saying “we need to be prompt with our deliverables, please try not to leave this early”

Because we are a country where the employer still has a majority of the power and not the employee. But the sale is starting to shift, slowly

We have been tuned to such circumstances from Day1 since 1990s when IT companies come to India. This didnt occur all of a sudden and things are going in right path as more employees knows this game. It won't take much time till such cruel companies doom to failure.

European companies are also laying off their clients because the economy is struggling to pick itself up from volatility of past 2-3 years. And the guidance is still looking quite bleak there. Tread that path carefully my friend. Just saying.
