Dear Reader,

It is a pleasure for me to introduce to you this edition of the MindTree newsletter. In this
newsletter, among other articles, we cover an article on ‘Human Centricity, Social Media and the Knowledge Enterprise’ by Raj Datta, MindTree’s head of Knowledge Management.

In a fascinating interview with celebrated author and Forbes columnist Sramana Mitra, Krishnakumar Natarajan (KK), MindTree’s CEO rapidly traces his early years, his first job, his being the eighth employee of Wipro, the genesis of MindTree, and India’s own transformation from a closed economy to a global outsourcing powerhouse. 

We exist because of our customers and through this mail I want to convey my personal thanks to our customers and well wishers for all the support we have received over the years.  With our CLASS (Caring Learning Achieving Sharing Social Responsibility) values as the core, we look forward to the opportunity of serving you for many years in the future.

As I sign off may I take this opportunity to wish all of you a Wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.
Warm Regards,

Anjan Lahiri
President and Co-CEO
