Radhika Gupta, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Edelweiss Asset Management Company spoke to Xu to emphasize how better infrastructure helps foster a more productive and efficient nation. Based on her personal experience, she pointed out how long it takes to commute to work in Mumbai and how that travel time is shorter in other parts of the world.
Radhika Gupta shares what can help with productivity.
“Regardless of how many hours we choose to work, one thing we spend disproportionately more hours on compared to many countries is commuting… in Mumbai, often 3-4 hours a day, taking up so much energy. Other parts of the world are often 15-30 minutes away, or when longer, in easier conditions. Better infrastructure will be key in making us a more productive nation,” wrote Radhika Gupta on X.

The individual wrote: “Measuring work in hours alone can be outdated and may not accurately reflect productivity or efficiency. Factors such as skills, infrastructure, education, governance, innovation and economic policies play a key role in enabling better outcomes. We rarely discuss these factors.”
Another commented: “True, three or four hours in traffic is too much and we’re just losing health in the process – infrastructure has to be key.”
A third said: “Why isn’t commuting factored in when mandating office work?
Should policies be restructured in view of multi-year road/metro/RCC/inefficient traffic management projects affecting employee productivity?”
“Absolutely, our commitment to hard work is unwavering, but the significant amount of time spent traveling on the metro, often more than 3 hours a day, drains our energy. Improved transportation can significantly increase our productivity as a nation,” said a fourth.
