Loading ...“Go Kiss the World”
This is the latest book by Subroto Bagchi (co-founder of MindTree) and the book I read non-stop last weekend. The book is very interesting and inspiring to say the least. This is one of those typical-weekend read or a travel read book which you can finish in few hours in a single read. Definitely good read especially for budding entrepreneurs and IT guys as well.
Subroto takes the reader through his life right from his birth to his school/college days to his career growth including his experiences with MindTree as a co-founder to his recent title “The Gardener”. He touches upon each of his experiences with a lesson learnt and how that experience in the hindsight made him a better person and an entrepreneur. There are lots of things to learn for us from his experiences that he narrates in the book.
He has divided the book into3 parts and from what I remember, part 1 deals with his birth and early days, part 2 deals with his earlier career and dilemmas and part 3 deals with the Wipro experience and his experience at MindTree. Part 1 is bit a drag, part 2 is ok but part 3 is very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed that part where he talks in his experience with WIPRO and how they grew the company from a small firm to what we know of WIPRO today. Overall a good book to read but I would strongly suggest entrepreneurs to read his earlier book “The High performance Entrepreneur” which I consider a Bible (or a Blue book) for Indian software companies.
Whenever I read Bagchi’s books, always wonder why NRN (or other Infy co-founders) is not writing such a book – alas none has come out so far and I remember reading once that all the founders have made a promise that they would not pen a book about their Infy experiences – what a shame that we never get to read the real experience of a truly global Indian company’s birth, rise and rise.

as the guy above me said.. writing is that important to indians, YET!
may be in future we may see more writers.
Really Mr.Bagchi is not just like an enterprenu but also a good writer. i got an opportunity to see him during his visit to Orissa and i felt my dream came in to reality. Apart from his busy schedule and work pressure he is giving time in Writing and helping worlds to think about the reality , its a tipical task. i would like to thank Mr.Bagchi for his contribution towards making young entreprenures and Knwoledge based suggestions.

One must hear Mr. Bagchi speak. He is such a good speaker. He is a good story teller too and it is a treat to listen to his experiences. I have had the privelege to listen to his experiences and it was a memorable one. I must mention that he is so humble and approachble. That is what has made him such a success.
I am glad that he has written this book.
I am reading this book presently, found the story of Mr. Bagchi’s life as a journey spanning from childhood, to struggler and a entrepreneur. Few months back, i was not knowing Mr. Subroto Bagchi, but after reading his book, i am quite suprised to learn about his achievements.
Wish him a long life, good health and success as Entrepreneur.

I second your review of the book. It is indeed interesting to read a autobiography of an industry pioneer
Great that you have reminded all of us….
But then writing is not often seen as important by indian IT professionals anyway…..no programmer wants to read, grasp or write a 100-400 word high level word docs…They like coding rather than grasping high level design and work delivery docs at all
But sr people must be world class leaders and excellent themselves …..they must help the IT community with their experience as that will be valid to many of us
