New Delhi: A Noida startup founder has highlighted the importance of working for a concrete goal, maintain work-life balance, instead of just doing 2*7 hustle.
Deepak Bhati, Chartered Accountant and co-founder of influencer marketing agency DigiWhistle, in a LinkedIn post has shared that his company received a 200 percent revenue boost in 2 years. And the most important element behind his success is that he worked 5-6 hours a day, defying the mindless hustle culture at workplace.
“I don’t work 12–14 hours a day. Most days, I only work 5–6 hours. The rest? I’m reading. Thinking. Spconcludeing time with my daughter. Or simply doing nothing. Does that create me less ambitious? I don’t consider so,” Bhati wrote.

“If I can create you work on Sundays, I will be more happy, becautilize I work on Sundays also.”
He further questioned, “What do you do sitting at home? How long can you stare at your wife? How long can the wives stare at their husbands? Get to the office and start working.”
