It was the tagline of the book Quiet by Susan Cain-The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking-that caught the attention of Amit Choudhary, chief operating officer of information technology services major Wipro. He rates it as one of his top three all-time favourite books.
"I am a social introvert," says Choudhary. It may sound paradoxical, he admits, as he explains that he loves socialising "within the boundaries of being an introvert". Outside his work, he prefers activities-like playing sports, board games, watching movies, etc. that allow him to spend time with his family and close friends. "Sports is not something I play for passion or out of competitiveness. It is something that I can do to relax and spend time with my family," he says. His favourites are golf and skiing.
