Pandavas (eBook, ePUB)

The Tech Warriors

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A bomb blast. A booze party. A statistics quiz. Three chance meetings bring together five very different people with only one thing in common: their future friendship. Set against the rise, fall, and resurgence of the IT industry, Pandavas follows the fortunes of these 21st century tech warriors.

Bindaas Kalpu effortlessly straddles East and West, and yet finds something missing. Village boy Goky turns corporate bigwig and global citizen, but leaves behind more than he bargained for. Brilliant Sri finds his true calling, but what about his true love? Pantu's scruples may not be as sparse as they seem, and his easygoing feet are planted more firmly on the ground than anyone expects. Ambitious Sammy scales ever greater heights, until the only way to go is down.

As the Pandavas grapple with right and wrong, love and loss, and the quest for success, happiness and home, they show us that some friendships really do last a lifetime.

Autorenporträt

Anil Chawla is Head of Human Resources for TCS-North. His 40-year professional career has imbibed a cocktail of disparate streams.

After a master's degree in physics from Banaras Hindu University, he flirted with business for some time but soon got fed up. His next job was at the State Bank group where working with diverse people excited him much more than balance-sheets and ledgers. In 1994, he completed the Fellow Programme in Management at IIM Ahmedabad with a specialization in organizational behaviour.

He joined Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as a management consultant where he advised companies in different industries on strategy, restructuring, HR, BPR, MIS and IT. In his 20+ years with TCS, he moved across functions and domains a few times before finally landing in human resources, where he found his true calling. He has a strong penchant for understanding business landscape, strategy, organizational design, organizational effectiveness, creativity, and innovation. He likes learning and teaching through stories, anecdotes and case studies. He coaches thousands of employees each year using provocative and experiential learning paradigms.

His multi-faceted professional experience has helped him come up with many story ideas of which this book is an outcome. His reading interests include fiction and management. He likes to watch tennis, cricket and his favourite movies-sometimes on fast-forward.
