Working from home
has made many across the world spend their days and even nights tied to their
laptops and mobile phones. So, when Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma posted on
Twitter about a seven-hour-long Zoom meeting, the internet could only strongly
relate. The Paytm CEO runs an organisation of over 13,000 people, and understandably
remains busy through the day. But this seven-hour Zoom call had him trip.

“Just finished my
probably, the longest Zoom call(sic),” Vijay Shekhar Sharma wrote on Twitter
Monday. He said that the call went on for 7 hours and 45 minutes. While many
Twitter users related to Sharma’s ordeal, many others scoffed at the feat
saying that they had spent many an hour more talking to their school or college
crushes.

“…Still you didn’t
break my record. I used to talk to my gf 10 hours continuously,” one Twitter
user said.

“Sounds like the
honeymoon stage in dating,” said another Twitter user.

Yet another
quipped that one could have watched Sholay and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, both
Bollywood films that ran beyond three hours, within the time.

Yet others were
worried about the condition of the person responsible for taking down the
minutes of the meeting.

Meanwhile, there
were others who said glorifying marathon meetings of the sort affect work-life
balance.

In the time Vijay
Shekhar Sharma took to finish one Zoom call, one could have flown from Delhi to
Dubai and back.

Paytm, India’s
leading digital payments service, has recently filed its preliminary offering
documents, with an aim to raise $2.2 billion, according to a Bloomberg report.
If the target is met, Paytm’s IPO will be India’s largest-ever debut. Paytm
Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) recently announced that it has enabled India’s first
metro parking facility in association with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
(DMRC).
