India’s IT revolution was not built overnight, it was nurtured through trust, collaboration, and a shared belief in possibility. Harish S. Mehta was among the catalysts who helped bring this vision to life. By uniting early entrepreneurs, technologists, and policymakers, he helped shape NASSCOM, the platform that turned India’s IT potential into a global force. Through his leadership at Onward Technologies, he continues to champion integrity, innovation, and long-term value creation, building bridges between people, ideas, and institutions. His book, The Maverick Effect, captures this collective journey of how a small group of mavericks came together to transform an idea into a movement, shaping India’s digital destiny.
