dispatches from the new world of work

Cool Friend: Setty

Rajesh Setty, our new Cool Friend, is having a great run right now. He has a book out, Beyond Code: Learn to Distinguish Yourself in 9 Simple Steps, and ... Tom wrote the foreword! Raj calls that bit of luck a "dream come true." I guess so.

Also: He has a manifesto posted on ChangeThis; he's the chairman of CIGNEX; and he writes the blog Life Beyond Code. Cool.

You can read his interview here.

Seems like the book will be great inspiration to us (open source devotees and entreprenuers).
Cant wait to get my hands on them.

Rajesh is the coolest of cool friends - a real practice-what-you-preach type guy with some phenomenal insights to share. I highly recommend Beyond Code.

Rajesh is a great human being.

He knows the recipe for success and is humble enough to admit the influence of others in his life.
Not afraid to ask help and good at heart to help others.

Proud of you.

Looking forward to reading your book Rajesh, pretty impressive interview.

The book is great, it is simple and effective. The magic of this conversation is that Rajesh is living proof that this approach works. He has gone "WAY" beyond the code. Congrats my friend and as we say in Georgia - Keep on keepin on!! - PD

I am not impressed. Comments are only from Indians (who's Setty friends/acquaintance)supporting him except MG who's book publicist.

AA: look through the list and you will see that Setty is the first Indian there..So I guess a few Indians commenting here should be just fine..
