About the Author

Utkarsh Rai is the India head of an IT MNC and a recipient of Udyog Rattan Award. After earning his degree in computer science from BITS Pilani in the late eighties, he worked in Siemens, first in Delhi and then in Germany. Later, he moved on to work with Adaptec in the US. During the late nineties, when Indians were flooding the US job market, he sensed better opportunities in India and swam against the tide to join Motorola in Bangalore. Having gained the required experience, he took another gamble in leaving a safe and successful career in Motorola to bet on a small start-up, Infinera. Since then Infinera has gone public and is growing manyfold. Utkarshs desire to share his experiences with a wide audience spurred him to write books. He is the author of Offshoring Secrets and Life in a Cubicle (e-book). Apart from writing, he enjoys globetrotting and has travelled with his family to many countries. He is interested in learning about various cultures, religions and the history of the world.
