‘Single-handedly letting down L&T chairman’: Couple’s dreamy post-retirement plan goes viral
The couple decided to fulfil their dream of travelling in an unusual way by transforming their five-seater car into a Caravan-like vehicle.
Larsen & Toubro Chairman SN Subrahmanyan’s call for a 90-hour work week has created a controversy on social media. Many have shared their opinions opposing the statement. An X user did just that with a video of a couple camping in the woods. The social media user sarcastically wrote that the couple's “dreamy post-retirement plan” will displease Subrahmanyan.
“A cute retired couple is single-handedly letting down the L&T Chairman and Murthy saar with their dreamy post-retirement plans. Make marriages great again,” the X user wrote. In addition to the reference to Subrahmanyan’s latest remark, the individual also referenced a remark by Infosys co-founder who said: “Youngsters need to work for at least 70 hours a week.”
