Go Kiss the World
'Go, kiss the world' were Subroto Bagchi's blind mother’s last words to him. These words became the guiding principle of his life.
‘Go, kiss the world’ were Subroto Bagchi’s blind mother’s last words to him. These words became the guiding principle of his life.
Subroto Bagchi grew up amidst what he calls the ‘material simplicity’ of rural and small-town Orissa, imbibing from his family a sense of contentment, constant wonder, connectedness to a larger whole and learning from unusual sources. From humble beginnings, he went on to achieve extraordinary professional success, eventually co-founding MindTree, one of India’s most admired software services companies.
Through personal anecdotes and simple words of wisdom, Subroto Bagchi brings to the young professional lessons in working and living, energizing ordinary people to lead extraordinary lives. Go Kiss the World will be an inspiration to ‘young India’, and to those who come from small-town India, urging them to recognize and develop their inner strengths, thereby helping them realize their own, unique potential.
[...] Wonderful , that is the word i would say for Subroto Bagchi’s Go Kiss the World. [...]
Sir, ur book of[GO,KISS THE WORLD]inspiring me.
Dear Mr. Bagchi
Go kiss the World is so hugely inspiring for youth of today. It helps us “no frills attached managers” to be distinguished gentlemen. Set apart from the rats running today’s rat race on crutches of material advantages to reach out to even more fancy crutches…
Hats off to you to inspire the generations to come!
Dear Mr. Bagchi,
I am from Jharkhand. I am 30 years old and suffered a personal setback almost one year back. I lost all my dreams, my focus and ability to concentrate.
But I love reading books. Recently, I saw “Go Kiss The world” in my brother’s hand. I took this book from him casually without any special interest.
The more pages I read the book, the more I became aware about my own status of mind. This book is like doing meditation which increases self-awareness.
Mr. Bagchi, I have big dreams but I am lost.I was in need of reading a book like “Go Kiss The World”.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences. I know it worths a lot.
Go Kiss the world is remarkably the best book i have ever read
This book can knock the door of every mind who reads it and be a spark to ignite the minds to build a glorious India. This book helps to find the life’s real calling. This book cleared the air of doubt in my mind. Thank you sir.
Dear Mr. Subroto,
Have not read your book, but just read ur speech at IIM – Bangalore. Its really inspiring and heartening to know about people like you and your thoughts.
Thanks so much… May run out of words to praise you, once I read the complete book.
Best wishes and regards,
Saarthak
Dear Sir i became a very big fan of yours after reading(go kiss the world).
Most imp thing which i learnt is that how parents play a big role in our life and how can we became a good human being.Kindly tell me how can i contact you as I think you can help me in boosting my life.
Dear Mr. Subroto,
I read your book and it remembered me the days I spent in Wipro and our leader Mr. Ashok Soota. I was working in Field Engineering Group, 1988-1990. I also remembered you. I really loved the book, and the importance of parents in one’s making big in life. Basically relationship with our parents pays a important aspect of our life and how we appear towards others. The book is a great treasure for the young generation to learn how to respect workplace and ethics. I pray to almighty that you will bringout many more such books to lighten the lives of many.
Best of Grace, and hope to meet you in future…..

Dear Mr. Bagchi,

Dear Sir,
Recently I have gone through one of your book “Go Kiss The World” and after reading I liked it a lot. I have recommended your book even in my daily facebook updates. Now, I am going through your latest book “The Professional”.

Dear Mr Bagchi,
I am delighted to meet you through your inspiring book ” Go Kiss the World”. A few months ago someone sent me a fwd – an excerpt from this book and I was hooked! The very title was intriguing as well as inspiring! And when I chanced upon the book recently, I grabbed it and could not put it down till I finished it.
You have an easy style of writing and are very clear about what you wish to convey. Your experiences and the lessons you have learnt on this journey of life is an inspiration to others – even senior citizens like me, for they are lessons on how to live life! I am eager to share this book with my son and all the other young people I know so that they too are inspired and motivated.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I have become your fan for life and eagerly look fwd to read your other books and articles!

Have put in a few points of yours in my webpage which inspired the most.

Dear Mr. Bagchi,
Books like “GO KISS THE WORLD,THE PROFESSIONAL,The High Performance EntrepreneuR,are superb and a guide to youngsters.I am a Program Executive working in the field of media for a prominent Television Channel in Bangalore. The experience of your life where you state that to treat each and everyone with due respect is somewhat many managers have to learn today. There are many youngsters who are in high profile jobs and managerial positions where they feel that they have succeded and theytake it to their heads. I am awaiting your new book.
Hi Subroto Sir,
I just read the addressed you had given to IIM, Bangalure on 2006.I am thankful to my Boss for forwarding me that email.
While reading your whole speach,my eyes were full of tear and got imotional. And also, its really gives encouragement and immense morale strength for a successful life.
I wish you a very best.
Regards,
Arun
Hi Subrato
I just completed your book “Go kiss the world”. Initially I didn’t found it very exciting but as the book proceed, I simply loved it. And then I understood why you had taken so much time in initial chapters so that readers can find themselves connected with rest of the book.
I loved it and there is lot to learn from it. Truly inspirational. I have also fallen in love with mindtree organisation and I hope will work with it in future. After reading book, I visited several times mindtree website and I only hope you read my these comment.
thank you
an inspiring book. we slould respect each and every one we come across. and it seems that adversity gives our life a much needed boost.
Hello Sir,
I am quite motivated with your book. It was gifted by my dear friend and now the book has become dear to me.
We are a young technology company and going through some tough times, seeing a meek future and would have to put down our weapons. Your experiences has surely given me courage to walk few more miles and take it beyond the brick wall.
We are still hopeful to make a difference in our lives with this project.
Its nice to know we were never alone and will never be alone in all the struggles. people have suffered similarly and come out of it coz they believed they will.
Thank you for the thought.
Dear sir,
I am reading the book with inspiring interest. whne yoiu tell the story you are touching the hearts of millions.It is not an inellectual journey to be with the book you are navigating us through. “we have four houses and also we have four transistors” Can it be more power ful touching and inspiring for the ones like me.But that is the reality. we are five brothers and two sisters.Our lives have broad similarity to that of you. Our mother always said her jewels are her children when she had to be with out the gold chain for years for reasons of the chain went into sale as it could not be taken back from pledging to meet our educational needs.
Your observations regarding MBAs and IITians finding difficult to pursue payment collection is equally a fact.after all for every job there is a cader most fit for it. We have a cases where in engineers of of the best talent miserably fail to recognise the need for focusing their attention to minor things like the welding slag and welding spatter while inspecting apart fromthe high teck areas like the NDT and the mirostructure.But they find them insignificant. result is customer complaints.
Your noting that the every fall is the opportunity for break through rise is equally striking.
It is equally true to run an enterprise with engineering prodiucts a back ground in engineering is not a must provided the entrepreneurial competence is in abundance
with best wishes

Sir
Your books have been inspiring me
thank you
Dear Sir,
Your books are really Very Good and Inseparable Which helps us with the way thinking of our Up coming Life.
Thank you.
Dear sir,
All your books are very inspiring books
and this one is the very inspiring
Dear Sir,
Your books are extremely inspiring and eye opening . You came from such a rural place where people are not able to get two square meals even if today. I have spent some years in that area (Sunabeda, Koraput).Sometimes I get surprised to think that how could a person from that area go to such a great height. That is all because of your exemplary disciplined and austere life .
Your books tell the actual story of life , business and success. It inspires many broken hearted people to recollect their strength and go ahead.. At this age of shortcut and bypass , where people are ready do everything for the sake of mere maternal gain ,your books focus on the real face of gain ,loss and maternal simplicity. Corporate people like me (I am a software professional at Bangalore) can always get ways of inspiration from your books.
Specially your speech at IIM can motivate any hopeless person and can give rays of hope for living a better life. Your books are like philosophical books tested with time and they express the truth in a practical manner. I am a voracious reader and have read many books. So I can tell that your books have definitely a different flavor.
My humble request would be , if you have not allowed anyone to translate “Go Kiss the World” to Odia language, then please allow me to do so. I will feel myself fortunate to do so.
May God bless you and give you better thoughts to write these types of inspiring books in the time to come
go kiss the world
What a book Sir !!
Dear Sir,
Your books have been inspiring me.
thank you
Dear Sir,
I am recently gone thorugh your speech “to the Class of 2006 at the IIM, Bangalore on defining success” i.e. the preamble of “Go and Kiss the World”
This speech made me shaken inside, made my journey back to my childhood where I brought up in humble way in a family of six. Above all, I confess here that I could not hold my tears intact going though your speech Sir! Thanks a lot for sharing such a great value. Presently I am 45 working as AGM in a PSU.
Few books written by the author on his own life experiences inspire you as “Go Kiss the World”. That family values have a great impact on one’s success is vividly expressed in this magnificent book. You feel like reading a novel. As you go on and on you get charmed with the simplicity of the author, his phenomenal rise and the invalubale lessons you learn in the pages. A must read.
Go Kiss the World is a fantastic book that can inspire every section of the people, young or old. It not only shows Mr.Bagchi as a successful entrepreneur, but reflects his mind as a person too. I am extremely fascinated by the book. It has shown us the path of success and at the same time works as a motivation for the coming young entrepreneur.
