Each phase of Harish Mehta’s life reflects a quiet conviction. From shaping institutions to writing their stories, these moments trace the evolution of an ecosystem builder whose work continues to ripple through India’s technology landscape.
‘The Maverick Effect,’ Harish Mehta’s debut book, became a national bestseller within months of its release. Three years in the making, it captures how a small group of entrepreneurs and policymakers laid the foundation for India’s IT revolution through collaboration and trust.
Blending lived experience with institutional history, the book offers lessons in leadership, integrity, and nation-building for readers across generations, from students to entrepreneurs to policymakers. It has received praise from voices including N.R. Narayana Murthy, N. Chandrasekaran, Anupam Mittal, Raamdeo Agrawal, and Dr. Deepak B. Phatak.
Now available in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and Audible editions, The Maverick Effect continues to inspire new builders of India’s future.
NASSCOM is more than an institution, it is a movement that shaped an industry and a nation. Through The Maverick Effect, Harish Mehta shares the blueprint of this movement and the maverick mindset that can shape industries, nations, and lives.
He hopes readers will find within it the inspiration, tools, and insights to accelerate growth and create a more equitable future for all.
