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/> **
