    Ashok Soota : Four bets, four hits and still counting (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ashok Soota can justifiably be called the grand old man of Indian IT. Not simply because of his longevity, but because of his extraordinary ability to repeatedly spot an opportunity, take a risk and build value — often when conventional wisdom suggested he should do otherwise. The seeds of that temperament were sown early. Soota’s family came from Dera Ismail Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan, in the region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, while his father was a doctor in the pre-Partition Britis

Rasheed Kidwai, a veteran Congress watcher with impeccable credentials and deep access to the party’s top leadership, is well placed to tell such stories.
