Synopsis

A young man steps out of the precincts of IIT Kanpur in 1974 with a dream in his heart-to become an entrepreneur and contribute to nation-building. Undaunted by the dearth of experience and means to capital in pre-Liberalization India, B.V.R. Mohan Reddy's enterprising spirit takes the long and winding road, never losing sight of his ambition. He gains overseas education on a scholarship and dons multiple hats for eighteen long years before embarking on his life's mission at forty. A mission that propels the company he incorporated, Cyient, to pioneer and excel in outsourced engineering services and introduce the brand 'Engineered in India'. <p/>Engineered in India takes readers on an entrepreneurial rollercoaster ride, allowing them to see human truths with tools that let them breathe life into their business aspirations and experiments. <p/> **
'Engineered in India faithfully chronicles Mohan Reddy's journey and enumerates how catalysts like him can be able partners in nation-building'
NIRMALA SITHARAMANNIRMALA SITHARAMAN, finance minister, Government of India, India <p/> 'Mohan's biography is a heart-warming story of an indomitable young man who has risen from modest beginnings to become one of India's first-generation IT billionaires'
PROFESSOR RAJ REDDY, winner of ACM A.M. Turing Award <p/> 'This book brings out the DNA of Mohan's personality-leadership, courage, determination, honesty, integrity, simplicity, conviviality and concern for the less fortunate'
