BVR debuts as author

Hyderabad: BVR Mohan Reddy, an Indian entrepreneur and Founder-Chairman of Cyient, a city-based global technology solutions company, has debuted as an author with the release of his new book, Engineered in India: from dreams to billion-dollar Cyient. Penguin India is the publisher of this book.

The publisher said that this book is the story of a young man who steps out of the precincts of IIT Kanpur in 1974 with a dream in his heart – to become an entrepreneur and contribute to nation-building. Undaunted by the dearth of experience and means to capital in pre-liberalisation India, Mohan Reddy's enterprising spirit takes the long road, never losing sight of his ambition. He gains overseas education on scholarship and dons multiple hats for eighteen years before embarking on his life's mission at forty. A mission that propels the company he incorporated, Cyient, to pioneer and excel in outsourced engineering services and introduce the brand 'Engineered in India,' the publisher added.

Mohan Reddy has served as the Chairman of Nasscom and Chairman of CII, Southern Region. He is also the founding Director of T-Hub, India's largest startup incubation centre. He is the chairman of the Board of Governors of IIT Hyderabad and IIT Roorkee, a member of the Leadership Advisory Board (LAB) at the University of Michigan College of Engineering, the USA, and a member of the Court of Governors of Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).

Announcing the release, BVR said, "Engineered in India gives experiential evidence of what it takes to ideate and scale a global enterprise. It also addresses the intangible dimensions of being an entrepreneur in India as well as offers practical lessons in customer centricity, people management and crisis management. My hope is to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs to learn from my journey, dream even bigger and engineer their own success."
