Defining Success

Shrikant Patil quotes from the welcome address by Subroto Bagchi, COO of MindTree Consulting, to the Class of 2006 at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore: “Success to me is about Vision. It is the ability to rise above the immediacy of pain. It is about imagination. It is about sensitivity to small people. It is about building inclusion. It is about connectedness to a larger world existence. It is about personal tenacity. It is about giving back more to life than you take out of it. It is about creating extra-ordinary success with ordinary lives.”
