Orry Awatramani, popularly known as 'Orry,' has become an internet sensation, often seen socializing with Bollywood celebrities. Despite his opposition to the idea of working tirelessly, Orry shared his commitment to personal development. In an interview with Cosmopolitan India, he explained, "I am working on myself. I am going to the gym, I am doing a lot of self-reflection, sometimes I do Yoga, I go for a massage, I am working, but I am working on myself."

Orry, who coined the term "Liver" by stating, "I live, therefore, I am a liver," created a buzz on social media, inspiring a wave of memes.

Reflecting on the 70-hour workweek, another netizen shared, "Work 70 hours a week, you're WEAKER." A third user suggested, "New economy vs Old economy? That's the perfect headline for the debate." As the anticipation builds, the prospect of a lively discussion between these two influential figures promises entertainment and enlightenment for social media enthusiasts.
