Episode 7: Gunjan Bagla, The India Expert

Podcast

“If you come back from India thinking that all is well, then you haven’t learned a thing.”

 

That’s the advice from Gunjan Bagla, the Indian Expert, in this episode of the Working with India Podcast. This is one of my favorite episodes so far, as we covered a wide variety of topics in great depth. Here’s another great quote:

“Don’t assume it’s always ok to call your Indian counterpart in the middle of the American day just because they took the first four calls and didn’t complain.”

 

Just a few of the things you should listen out for:

  • Gunjan’s advice for motivating Indian teams
  • How many trips you should expect to take to India before you find some traction
  • The single piece of upcoming legislation that might have more economic impact than anything since 1991
  • Which materials are great to read/watch before coming to India and which ones are worthless
  • A good measure for how often you should be travelling to India if you manage a team here

 

Here are some links to find out more about Gunjan:

  • His Wikipedia page
  • Company page for Amritt, Inc.
  • LinkedIn
  • Twitter
  • The India Expert blog
  • The book: Doing Business in 21st Century India on Amazon.com and Amazon.in
