<p>Some of the top Indian corporate titans have locked horns amid raging debate over a healthy work-life balance. The row started when Larsen &amp; Toubro (L&amp;T) Chairman SN Subrahmanyan recommended a 90-hour workweek, including working Sundays.

<p>Subrahmanyan&rsquo;s outrageous call sparked a series of condemnations on social media, and now the debate has been joined by top Indian entrepreneurs.</p>
<h2><strong>Radhika Gupta</strong></h2>
<p>The CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Radhika Gupta, was among the first ones to respond to Subrahmanyan&rsquo;s 90-hour workweek call. In a message posted on social media, she wrote, &ldquo;I worked 100 hours a week for four months on my first project.

<p>It was a Twitter talk over croissant !&nbsp;A croissant picture post by Anand Mahindra was an ice breaker between the Indian billionaire and Twitterati. Apparently, Anand Mahindra on Twitter shared the pic of croissant, a flaky pastry made with French yeast-leavened laminated dough. The picture was from some India eatery where the outlet incorrectly spelt the 'Croissant' as "Crocin." Poking fun at it and sharing his French son-in-law's love for Croissant, Mahindra writes on Twitter, "Well, at least my French son-in-law agrees that the Croissant is an effective remedy for all sorts of aches and pains….And we Indians have mastered abbreviated software programming language.. So why not?"</p>

<p>After the post by Anand Mahindra, Twitterati came up with an interesting question to pose to the business tycoon. A Twitter user asked, “None of my business But why not an Indian son-in-law?” Anand Mahindra tackled the question with sheer grace. He wrote, “Because that’s none of my business either. My daughters, on their own, chose their life partners. And I’m proud of them for that."&nbsp;</p>

Croissant talks: See how Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra reacts as Twitter asks ‘why not Indian son-in-law’

<p>On Monday (August 22),&nbsp;India's young&nbsp;Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa made heads turn once again and produced a superb performance, winning three straight games including two in the blitz tie-breaks to move past world champion Magnus Carlsen 4-2 in the final round of the FTX Crypto Cup. Despite the impressive win, the 17-year-old settled for the second spot in the final rankings as the No. 1 ranked Norwegian clinched the top prize by a whisker.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the unversed, Carlsen returned&nbsp;with 16 match points as compared to the Indian prodigy's tally of 15. Thus, there was not much separating the two before Carlsen ended with the top honours. After the match, he stated,&nbsp;"I've been playing badly all day, but now I'm getting the results I deserve... It's never good to lose, but this is as good a time as any!"</p>

<p>Impressed with Rameshbabu, business tycoon Anand&nbsp;Mahindra lavished huge praise on the young chess prodigy and took to Twitter to laud him. He tweeted saying, "Take a good look at that young, but intense face. If Chess is a Game of Thrones then there may be a new occupier of the throne soon...(And we should all learn how to spell his name correctly!)"</p>

Chess: Learn to pronounce his name - Indian tycoon after Praggnanandhaa defeats Carlsen

<p>Prominent Indian businessman Anand Mahindra is know for his witty tweets and regular presence on the social media platform. He is again in news for one of his latest tweet that pokes fun over race to become next UK PM. On Tuesday (July 12) Mahindra posted an edited image of 10 Downing Street, the official residence of British prime minister.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The thing that strikes most is the Indian religious adornment on the front door and windows. The door proudly flaunts a 'toran', an auspicious garland made from Mango leaves. There are 'Swastikas' on the door as well.</p>

<p>In European context, though Swastikas represent Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, the symbol is one of the holiest in Hindu religion completely separate from any connotations of atrocities caused in Nazi Germany.</p>

<p>Superstar Amitabh Bachchan and industrialist Anand Mahindra are known to be active on Twitter. The two influential celebrities enjoy a huge following on social media and during the lockdown, they have been very actively sharing posts- in an attempt to create awareness around coronavirus. Mostly.<br />
<br />
The two, in the recent past, have shared posts- which many have pointed stem out of the infamous 'Whats App University'. On Monday, #UninstallWhatsApp began trending on Twitter after a user created a petition requesting Mark Zuckerberg to disable WhatsApp from Amitabh Bachchan and Anand Mahindra's phones.<br />

<p>The petition comes at a time when WhatsApp has tightened message forwarding limits earlier in April. The move has restricted users to sharing forwarded content one chat at a time after the app witnessed a jump in messages touting bogus medical advice since the start of the coronavirus crisis.<br />
<br />
The pandemic has been accompanied by what the World Health Organization (WHO) has called an "infodemic" of misinformation.<br />
<br />
Both Bachchan and Mahindra have in the recent past shared posts that many feel were acquired from Whats App.<br />

Big B in fact has been called out several times for sharing misinformation on social media in April,&nbsp; the 77-year-old actor was criticised for retweeting a post on Twitter that falsely showed an illuminated India on the world map. In March he was called out for a tweet which claimed vibrations from clapping and blowing conch shells as part of the Janata curfew (public curfew) would have reduced or destroyed coronavirus potency as it was 'Amavasya' on that day. The superstar had eventually deleted the tweet.</p>
