I finished this book while on travel and found this to be a smooth read. This one is for the entrepreneur in you. Also, if you are on the verge of starting your professional career, like me, this book will be of immense usefulness to you too. All of us have some entrepreneurial characteristic buried in us. Mr. Bagchi had it too. But he socuted for those at an early age. His focus was clear, right from his childhood. And all his professional ventures were guided by one single motivation - 'to learn as much as possible'. His childhood in Odisha, being brought up by a modest family to his founding of MindTree is an inspiring story indeed. Filled with anecdotes and experiences, this book is worth reading and sharing!Plus, for all those from Odisha who are apprehensive about starting up something or in confusion about jobs can take some hope and courage from the pages of this book before setting out to kiss the world! "Go Kiss the world" by Subroto Bagchi is nice book to read not only for person from IT industry but for person from any other professional world. What I liked about the book is the way he has elaborated his journey from villages in Orissa to boardrooms of New Jersy / Banglore. This is not a book about how MindTree started and its journey but this book is about Subroto Bagchi's life experiences. Its interesting to read how he got such a varied experience in Operations, Sales, Marketing, General Management etc in his career and most importantly how a man who neither learn computers nor did any MBA, started India's first Venture capital funded IT company.But there is one thing which is missing from the book and that is how the MindTree "actually" started doing business. He has explained very well about his and his friends/colleagues state of mind about doing something on their own and his midlife crisis. But there is no reference to how MindTree got their first client.Best part of book is towards its end, last two chapters (Life's personal Angels & Go, Kiss the world), its like a summary of his life learning.
