is, becoming a high-performance entrepreneur is harder still. And yet,

successful; some even graduate to setting up companies that hold their
own against the toughest competition, becoming icons of achievement. In
The High-performance Entrepreneur, Subroto Bagchi, co-founder and chief
operating officer of MindTree Consulting, draws upon his own highly
successful experience to offer guidance from the idea stage to the IPO
level. This includes how to decide when one is ready to launch an
enterprise, selecting a team, defining the values and objectives of the
company and writing the business plan to choosing the right investors,
managing adversity and building the brand. Additionally, in an
especially illuminating chapter, Bagchi recounts the systems and values
which have made Indian IT companies on a par with the best in the world.

well as for others. They provide jobs, crucial for an expanding
workforce such as India's, and drive innovation. In India as elsewhere,
governments have become much more entrepreneur friendly than ever before
