"I was labelled a super-achiever at MindTree. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Yet, of late, I had doubts that I was doing something worthwhile in the company. And it was then that I got a call from this company which offered me a very good role at nearly four times my current salary. Just to test my market value, I went for the interviews (12-13 rounds of them), and finally got selected. I would be lying if I said the offer was not tempting. I could have retired in peace," says Radha.
She chose not to. She remains with MindTree and hopes to be there for many more years. "Bagchi gave me a whole new perspective. Not once did he tell me to stay back. But the interactive sessions helped me realise that my ties with MindTree were too strong to sever. I have now also learnt to connect with my 400-odd subordinates in a better way," says Radha.
Shanmugam and Radha are two of the 35 "Top 100" leaders that Bagchi has identified for Gardening since he moved from being the chief operating officer to Gardener in April this year. The top 20 Leaders of Aztecsoft, recently acquired by MindTree, are also part of this.
