Mindtree Consulting !!

Today, I went for an extremely interesting talk by Anjan Lahiri, Executive VP of MindTree Consulting. The topic of discussion was 'Managing Business in a Crisis'. He delivered a 'straight from the heart' presentation about his experience with MindTree, and how they faced the dotcom bust years very early in the company's history, and yet never slipped on their quarterly improvements.

He shared some interesting mantras for survival during the tough times. He also talked about his learnings from Ashok Soota, the Co-founder of MindTree. One of his quotes, which I can recall:

''Dont say ...... If tomorrow comes ...... tomorrow will come !!''

The only bad feature of the evening was the dismal attendance for his talk. I can oly say that those that did not come, missed a great speaker.
