Mr. Subroto Bagchi MindTree Interview
This video features an interview with Mr. Subroto Bagchi, the Chief Gardener of MindTree. In this interview, Mr. Bagchi discusses his childhood and early influences, sharing that he grew up in tribal districts and was homeschooled, which instilled in him a sense of earthiness and simplicity. He also highlights the significant influence of his eldest brother, who taught him ambition and fostered self-confidence. Mr. Bagchi defines success in two ways: leaving everything you touch better than it was before ("building legacy") and being able to achieve extraordinary things with ordinary people. He addresses the challenge of maintaining integrity in business, especially when faced with conflicting company goals, providing a concrete example involving Azim Premji of Wipro and a joint venture with GE, where Premji refused a transaction due to an unethical commission. This example illustrates that integrity is about individual choice rather than environmental circumstances.
