About this listen
This is the story of a Russian-born Israeli expat who relocated to Bangalore for six months to set up a small software development centre.
18 years later, after the center had grown to 2,500 employees, he looked back on a journey leading from denial to acceptance to love of India.
The book offers a toolkit of surprising ideas, metaphors, and stories around organizational structure, Scrum, delivery pipelines, and refactoring.
It is also a case study of adaptive transformation. To survive the corporate axe, a division of 1,200 engineers must cut costs and double its efficiency. Are frequent releases, self-driving teams, and agile “leaderless” management possible in traditional and hierarchical India? Can a legacy product compete with a shiny new one?
This book shows how corporate culture can be radically transformed; how stereotypical shortcomings can be turned into competitive advantages; And how Indian IT can redefine itself as an ultra-modern software rejuvenation clinic.
