UNSUNG HEROES AND MAVERICKS WHO MADE THE INDIAN IT MAGIC

Hearing the word 'Maverick' may remind you of Tom Cruise before you think of the equally adventurous firmament of the Indian software industry. But reading some lines from the book called 'The Maverick Effect' will tell you, without doubt, that Harish Mehta has flown into every tricky and exciting corner that the pilots of Indian IT trajectory struggled with, enjoyed and blazed a trail with. Mehta, a prominent angel investor, the founder and executive chairperson of Onward Technologies Ltd. and the founding member and the first elected chairman of NASSCOM, has a lot to recount, and interpret, as he flies back into the memory lane of the last few pivotal decades. Like legends like Dewang Mehta and FC Kohli. Like facing turning points of the scale that the Satyam Crisis or Outsourcing business was. Like the equation between Nasscom and MAIT, work-life balance, IP and much more that adds substance to the gloss of this industry.
