Corporate Hermes

CP Gurnani, CEO and Managing Director of Tech Mahindra, spearheaded the leading Business Engineering and Technology Services giant, growing its revenue from under $ 200 million in 2004 to $7 billion in 2023. Corporate Hermes tells the story of a remarkable man's rise to the top, his legendary leadership and visionary business achievements, including the landmark Satyam merger. Much like the winged-sandaled mythological Greek god Hermes, Gurnani traversed the globe with his boundless energy and enthusiasm, building an international enterprise with seemingly athletic prowess. In this book, Author Manish Vyas invites colleagues and industry executives to pay tribute to Gurnani's exceptional personal and professional traits. Lessons abound by studying Gurnani and how he led Tech Mahindra to be one of the top global industry companies today. Tech and non-tech readers will learn from his strengths in salesmanship, leadership, his talent for working toward mutual and beneficial agreement and so much more about this fascinating man.

Gurnani was conferred with the CEO's Choice "Lifetime Achievement Award" 2021 - India's highest independent civilian honor. He has been featured in a Harvard Case Study "Tech Mahindra and the Acquisition of Satyam Computers." The Satyam merger is often compared to the 1979 Chrysler bailout in the USA. Gurnani is the recipient of many prestigious awards throughout his brilliant tenure at Tech Mahindra. Gurnani's departure from TechM (December 2023) is only a transition to new and exciting endeavors ahead.

Manish Vyas recently served as Global President and COO of Tech Mahindra leading many strategic business areas.
