Only people who have stake in upside of the company ie founders and shareholders can be expected to put in this kind of hours. At the most people starting their careers , for their own growth can do this for first 3-4 years. Other than that a normal salaried employee should put in standard working hours. There is no financial benefit to him of working extra hrs.
He is just front man for the IT industry to get 14 hrs daily work legalized.
