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.

      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.

            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.
