I spent most of my tenure with this team

4 years in one company is a long time – at least for people from my generation. Amongst the people who joined Infosys with me; most of them have left Infosys to make a career of their own choice. But from day one of my career at Infosys I got a lot of opportunity to meet several people. I learnt new things from their acts – either good or not so good.



I learnt from my own mistakes, I learnt from my managers, got their guidance at the right time to do right things. I learnt things from others mistakes, I learnt from others success, I learnt to take a decision in a wise way watching my managers taking decisions. I reported to 4 managers (only!?) till date in my 4 years journey.

All the 4 had their own good’s and bad’s. All 4 of them have always tried grooming me, making
me a great professional. Sometimes I failed and most of the times I got succeeded. Some looked arrogant, some looked cool, some looked lazy, some looked foolish – but every decision they made were intelligent and smart enough to make the team stronger, bigger and built THE TEAM.

My colleagues – some became good friends – some are life time friends – some opportunistic – some were never friends but good colleague to work with. Met my best of critics here and they always tried to find good person in me. Majority of the times, in my life, I was always called – the Khadoos and people still call me that. And I agree to it. That is how I was born, that is how I was grown and that is how I made my identity. But my friends, critics and especially the team I was handling (Field Sales West and Cross Market) taught me to be Khadoos only when it is needed. They brought a lot of maturity in me.

Infosys – the founders – especially NRN who had always inspired me, his one thought out of the box and bring a social reform in India made me join Infosys and lean things in this management school. Now I am confident enough to bring the awareness among the young India (who is accessible to me at least).

This blog is an effort to reach out to people and share my experiences with people I met in Infosys and their experiences which they shared with me. Majority of my writing will be around the professional life of these people and not personal, some personal aspects which I feel can be shared I will share it you all after I get a consent from the related person.

Most of the experiences are been already inked on paper. But not getting sufficient time to publish them online and I am struggling a lot to put them in an order. So there would be some delay in publishing these experiences. Please bear with me!! But never hesitate to comment on my thoughts.
