Quality of work matters more than hours spent daily—Akash Ambani
What's the story
Reliance Jio Infocomm Chairman, Akash Ambani, has said that the quality of daily work matters more than the number of hours spent in office.
He shared the opinion during a conversation with Harsh Jain, CEO of Dream 11 at the Mumbai Tech Week event.
Ambani's remarks come amid the ongoing debate over ideal weekly work hours among top executives.
Priorities
View on work-life balance
Ambani, the son of India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, stressed that work and family are his top priorities.
He said, "I don't think about it (timing at work) in terms of timings and the amount of hours. It's about the quality of work that you do on a daily basis."
This highlights his belief in keeping a balance between work and personal life.
Growth mantra
Perspective on personal growth
Further elaborating on his approach to work and life, Ambani said, "Growth is life is a motto of Reliance, but it also applies to your personal life. So you have to grow with every single day that is passing."
He urged people to step out of their comfort zones and embrace growth opportunities.
This perspective shows his commitment not just to business expansion, but personal development too.
Technological advancements
Reliance Jio's strides in AI and data science
Under Ambani's leadership, Reliance Jio has also brought together a team of over 1,000 data scientists, researchers, and engineers to spearhead its AI efforts.
The company is constructing a 1GW capacity data center at Jamnagar to power India's AI journey.
All these developments highlight Ambani's commitment to tech and his vision for the future of the company.
Legacy
Ambani's views on leadership and legacy
Ambani, who heads India's largest telecom company, said titles mean little to him.
He stressed on the importance of legacy, saying it's about creating impact for the country and the company.
This is a sentiment that reflects Ambani's focus on making a difference through his work at Reliance Jio Infocomm, rather than seeking recognition through formal titles or positions.
