As per his views, work-life balance is a personal choice.

Gautam Adani supports personal choice

Speaking to media persons, the businessman said, “If you enjoy what you do, then you have a work-life balance. Your work-life balance should not be imposed on me, and my work-life balance shouldn’t be imposed on you.”

Elaborating further, he said, “If someone finds joy in spending four hours with their family, or if another person enjoys spending eight hours, that is their version of work-life balance. However, if you spend eight hours with your family, biwi bhaag jayegi (wife will run away).”
