American businessman and angel investor Naval Ravikant, who is of Indian descent, denied a report on Tuesday that said he expected his staff at his new venture to “always 24/7 be either working or thinking about work.” Ravikant defended his new company, Impossible Computer Company, and explained that he does not have such aspirations in response to a claim that was circulated on the X platform.

“As usual, fake news,” he said, quoting another X user’s synopsis of his new startup. A more accurate synopsis of what I said… An entrepreneur named Alexander Nevedovsky sent the above graphic, which included a synopsis of Ravikant’s startup vision. Ravikant’s statements regarding the origins of his startup were included in the picture.

“Most of the time, that team came together through mutual respect. My co-founder’s technical taste is excellent. He will look for goods, studies, thoughts, articles, or code that he truly likes; this is typically very unusual and out of the norm. He claimed to be somewhat of an edge case collector.

The seasoned investor added that Ravikant wants to stay in San Francisco, where the company is primarily in-person.

Regarding expectations and work-life balance, he mentioned that he adheres to one important rule: “I don’t ask other people to do anything that I wouldn’t do myself. Therefore, I prefer that the workplace be in a place that I enjoy visiting. The offices themselves should be pleasant, quiet, and of good quality, in my opinion.

He went on to criticize conventional office layouts, describing claustrophobic cubicles as unnatural. He emphasized that creativity is enhanced in a humane setting. He thinks that genuine passion keeps burnout at bay.

“You should probably quit working on it if you’re not enjoying it or if it feels like burnout. A vacation doesn’t solve burnout. “People who love what they do and work nonstop don’t burn out,” he said.

In response to the initial story, Ravikant probably made a remark about burnout, even though he did not say which of his remarks were inaccurate. This occurs as CEOs and founders are under increased scrutiny for having “unrealistic” expectations for their employees’ work.

Recently, a number of CEOs have made it clear that they like extended workdays, requiring staff members to work six days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. or equivalent hours. According to critics, these kinds of workplaces cause stress, burnout, and a poor work-life balance.
