Go Kiss the World
‘Go, kiss the world’ were Subroto Bagchi’s blind mother’s last words to him. These words became the guiding principle of his life.
Subroto Bagchi grew up amidst what he calls the ‘material simplicity’ of rural and small-town Orissa, imbibing from his family a sense of contentment, constant wonder, connectedness to a larger whole and learning from unusual sources. From humble beginnings, he went on to achieve extraordinary professional success, eventually co-founding MindTree, one of India’s most admired software services companies.
Through personal anecdotes and simple words of wisdom, Subroto Bagchi brings to the young professional lessons in working and living, energizing ordinary people to lead extraordinary lives. Go Kiss the World will be an inspiration to ‘young India’, and to those who come from small-town India, urging them to recognize and develop their inner strengths, thereby helping them realize their own, unique potential.

[...] Wonderful , that is the word i would say for Subroto Bagchi’s Go Kiss the World. [...]
Dear Mr. Bagchi
Go kiss the World is so hugely inspiring for youth of today. It helps us “no frills attached managers” to be distinguished gentlemen. Set apart from the rats running today’s rat race on crutches of material advantages to reach out to even more fancy crutches…
Hats off to you to inspire the generations to come!
Dear Mr. Bagchi,
I am from Jharkhand. I am 30 years old and suffered a personal setback almost one year back. I lost all my dreams, my focus and ability to concentrate.
But I love reading books. Recently, I saw “Go Kiss The world” in my brother’s hand. I took this book from him casually without any special interest.
The more pages I read the book, the more I became aware about my own status of mind. This book is like doing meditation which increases self-awareness.
Mr. Bagchi, I have big dreams but I am lost.I was in need of reading a book like “Go Kiss The World”.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences. I know it worths a lot.
Go Kiss the world is remarkably the best book i have ever read
This book can knock the door of every mind who reads it and be a spark to ignite the minds to build a glorious India. This book helps to find the life’s real calling. This book cleared the air of doubt in my mind. Thank you sir.
Dear Mr. Subroto,
Have not read your book, but just read ur speech at IIM - Bangalore. Its really inspiring and heartening to know about people like you and your thoughts.
Thanks so much… May run out of words to praise you, once I read the complete book.
Best wishes and regards,
Saarthak
Dear Sir i became a very big fan of yours after reading(go kiss the world).
Most imp thing which i learnt is that how parents play a big role in our life and how can we became a good human being.Kindly tell me how can i contact you as I think you can help me in boosting my life.
Dear Mr. Subroto,
I read your book and it remembered me the days I spent in Wipro and our leader Mr. Ashok Soota. I was working in Field Engineering Group, 1988-1990. I also remembered you. I really loved the book, and the importance of parents in one’s making big in life. Basically relationship with our parents pays a important aspect of our life and how we appear towards others. The book is a great treasure for the young generation to learn how to respect workplace and ethics. I pray to almighty that you will bringout many more such books to lighten the lives of many.
Best of Grace, and hope to meet you in future…..

Dear Mr. Bagchi,
I bought all your three books, and have read ‘Go kiss the world’, and ‘The Professional’. I enjoyed reading them, and am now circulating them among my friends, as I want them to read these books too.
Go Kiss the world, has been a real inspiration to me. I have done my MBA, and run my own recrutiment business. After reading your book, I have been inspired to study further and do my doctorate!!
Thank you for writing such a motivating book, and sharing your own life experiences with us. I look forward to seeing more of your books on the stands.

Dear Sir.
reading your book was a treat to my mind. it explained well that “you are what you eat in your breakfast”. It was really an inspiring book and the teachings at the end of the book were really helpful too.
Dear Sir,
Recently I have gone through one of your book “Go Kiss The World” and after reading I liked it a lot. I have recommended your book even in my daily facebook updates. Now, I am going through your latest book “The Professional”.
What I have felt is that: I have found too much similarity between you & madam Sudha Murthy stories/ books. Madam & your books consist personal anecdotes, real life stories, full of hope, believe and it gave me real pleasure to read.
Thanks a lot for writing such good books, all the best and god bless you always.
Dear Sir,
First of all a humble thanks to you for sharing these through your wonderful book.
Really a valuable guide and inspirational contents to read and it refreshes our mind. I am sure it will motivate many and help to support those who never traveled such path of career.
For me it was a great book which acted as a virtual mentor.
Many many thanks and Good Wishes

Dear Mr Bagchi,
I am delighted to meet you through your inspiring book ” Go Kiss the World”. A few months ago someone sent me a fwd - an excerpt from this book and I was hooked! The very title was intriguing as well as inspiring! And when I chanced upon the book recently, I grabbed it and could not put it down till I finished it.
You have an easy style of writing and are very clear about what you wish to convey. Your experiences and the lessons you have learnt on this journey of life is an inspiration to others - even senior citizens like me, for they are lessons on how to live life! I am eager to share this book with my son and all the other young people I know so that they too are inspired and motivated.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I have become your fan for life and eagerly look fwd to read your other books and articles!
