Mr Soumya Banerjee

Mr Soumya Banerjee is the Managing Director of Sapient Corporation. He is responsible for leading Sapient's global delivery capabilities in India.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Mumbai University (India), and a Master's degree in computer science from the University of Houston. Here's his take on four questions from Business Line:

Two things that my education/training taught me:

Studying in India has taught me the importance of having rigour and a disciplined approach to problem-solving.

Studying for my Master's degree in Houston taught me the value of discussion and sharing of diverse viewpoints to come up with a stronger solution.

Two things I learnt from my work/real life:

To constantly grow as a leader and help others realise their potential.

To strive towards adding value and creating an impact in everything you do.

Qualities I look for the most in a new recruit:

Learn fast, challenge status quo, be open and ask the right questions.

A book that I read recently:

Reread the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook: Strategies for Building a Learning Organization, by Peter Senge.
