SUGAR Cosmetics Founder Vineeta Singh wrote on LinkedIn, "Our biggest day every year is not Valentine's Day or Black Friday. It's actually the day before Karwachauth. We sold products worth 4 cr yesterday and worth 75 cr in October! Love witnessing the action every Karwa Chauth and while I’m at it, selling some lipsticks too! This is a general trade store in Ludhiana at 6:30 pm. Peak rush hour is at 1 am and it’s all women!"
"My take on the 70 hour work week debate! - First of all, it is a personal choice; health is important, family is important, career is important, and peace of mind is important. You can’t demand 70 hours of work at 40 hours salary. I realised that productivity of one hour can vary by a factor of 10 and I would rather focus on how to be effective in each hour, rather than mindlessly putting in more hours," wrote CureFit Founder Mukesh Bansal on LinkedIn

Mahindra Group Chairperson Anand Mahindra shared some videos of Halloween celebrations in New York and wrote on X (Twitter), "Halloween. New York. It never disappoints. But I think I’d like to add the Panchatantra characters to this gang…India’s Rising, remember?"
Namita Thapar of Emcure Pharmaceuticals and a Shark Tank India judge shared photos from her Halloween celebration and used the opportunity to share her perspective on working 70 hours a week, a suggestion by Infosys Founder NR Narayana Murthy. She wrote, "Halloween shenanigans are always fun, kiddos & me made these goodies, Anupam Mittal if we listen to you & other experts about working 70 hour/ week (plus horrendous commute time) will we ever find time for family, creating precious memories & most importantly for mental health?"
Anupam Mittal responded to her saying, "Not counting but am pretty sure you are up there in terms of weekly hours. Better to embrace and find work-life harmony than to continue to be torn between work-life balance.” His response came after his earlier post on X (Twitter) that read, "After all these years, still working 70 hour weeks."
