Mother Teresa Is CEO Of Souls: IT Firm Chief

BANGALORE, Karnataka, Aug. 30, 2010, 10:00 Hrs (SAR NEWS):

There are two brands India has created -- Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa, said the chief of a Bangalore-based top software firm.

“IT (information technology) professionals should learn marketing from Mother Teresa, for her congregation has the highest number of branches in the world (sic), which the TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) or the Wipro do not have. The Sisters from the Missionaries of Charity operate without a computer, but they are 24x7 sharing love and consolation. Mother Teresa is the CEO of souls,” said Subroto Bagchi, founder of MindTree, Bangalore.

He was speaking at a celebration organised to mark the birth centenary of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, August 26, here.

Bagchi, an author of two books, recalling his experience and life transformation through Mother, said: “Money does not solve the world’s problems. We in the corporate world seek to learn to deal with ups and downs, to work with hands, and not just pray and to serve without attachment as the nuns of the Missionaries of Charity do.”

Archbishop Bernard Moras of Bangalore, in his message said Mother Teresa’s life was founded on God’s love, trust and compassion for the poor.

At the function, he released “Mamatheya Mother Teresa”, a Kannada documentary in DVD, a Mother Teresa calendar, and a special issue of “Tabor”, a diocesan bulletin on Mother marking her birth centenary celebration.

Vicar general Father C. Francis of Bangalore welcomed the gathering. A troupe from the National Biblical Catechetical and Liturgical Centre Bangalore rendered a dance performance based on the life and works of Mother Teresa.
