The lack of confidentiality and ethic was astounding to the author.

Hey,guess what,the email said,your dad has just opened a savings account with us.

He recalls that his daughter once got an email from a friend of hers working in a multinational bank. For many years in various leadership roles,Bagchi has seen many episodes of amateurish and unethical behaviour that got his mind lobbing around the core idea of the book. During one of his team-building trips outside Bangalore,where he traveled ahead in his car and his colleagues followed behind by bus,he orchestrated a surprise mob attack on the bus that put to test his colleagues confidence and leadership capabilities. The Professional details the authors affinity for nonconformity. The CEO-turned-author trained himself to observe minute human responses and gestures right from the start of his career when he was in sales. Bagchis book is a stirring example for other professionals. That is an enviable journey and provides ample material for his latest book. The political science major was formerly the chief of Wipros Global R&D. Bagchi is now the vice-chairman of the company. The co-founder of the Bangalore-based outsourcing company MindTree stepped down as its chief executive to take on the title of its chief gardener in order to tend to the emotional wellbeing of the top 100 professionals in his company. Infosys founder Narayana Murthys A Better India,A Better World,and co-founder Nandan Nilekanis Imagining India: Ideas for the New Century are among the recent handful of Indian entrepreneurs nearly as successful in writing books as in running companies.īagchis book draws from his own remarkable career as a professional. Kishore Biyani of Pantaloon Retail/Future Group whose 99-rupees-a-copy ∛ig Bazaar priced bestseller is a standout example. In India,successful entrepreneur-CEO authors are a rarity. The second,Go Kiss the World,his dying mothers last words,is based on his own life story.


His first book The High Performance Entrepreneur was about co-founding and building MindTree. Bagchi explained tongue-in-cheek recently,I dont play golf. How can a full-time top executive find the time to write so prolifically? He writes columns and management journal pieces frequently too. His prose is more appealing than that of most techies. And now with his book,the Hollywood-ishly titled The Professional his third in as many years Bagchi proves yet again that he is singular.
