Another engineer at a firm in Bengaluru also reported grueling hours. “At times, I have [gone to sleep] at 6:30 a.m. after working through the night and reported back at 10:30 a.m.,” he said. He has suffered from low blood pressure and been diagnosed with a fatty liver disease. He comes from a small village and sends money home monthly to help his parents. “This model isn’t sustainable,” he said. “It is exploitative, and drives workers towards breakdown.”
Yeah. I’ve never met an Indian who worked more than a couple of hours without sleeping at his desk or in the bathroom stall. Laziest bunch of stankasses ever.

The “great philanthropist” Andrew Carnegie set a 72-hour workweek for the laborers in his mills. No days off. No day of rest.
When it comes to heartlessness, it looks like this Subrahmanyan guy has Carnegie beat.
