Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma tweeted about a Zoom call that went on for over 7 hours.
Running an organisation of over 13,000 employees can't be easy, so it's not surprising that Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma often finds himself attending long work meetings. But recently, even he was surprised by the length of a Zoom call that went on for almost the entire duration of a typical work day. In the time that it took Mr Sharma to wrap up that one call, you can fly from Delhi to Dubai - and back. It was, in his own words, "probably the longest Zoom call" that ran for a staggering seven hours and 45 minutes.
"Just finished my probably, the longest Zoom call [sic]," he wrote on Twitter Monday, revealing the duration of the call to be "7 hours 45 minutes."
His tweet has racked up nearly 3,500 'likes' and a ton of amused comments.
Many Twitter users were unimpressed - remembering the time they used to spend hours talking to their crushes on the phone.
