Designed To Lead | Padma Shri Mohan Reddy

In the upcoming episode of Unmute with Ganesh Natarajan, B. V. R. Mohan Reddy — Founder Chairman of Cyient — joins Dr. Ganesh Natarajan for an inspiring conversation about leadership, purpose, and what it truly means to build a global company from India.

As the pioneer behind “Engineered in India,” Mohan Reddy transformed Cyient (originally Infotech Enterprises) into a global engineering-services powerhouse.

Mohan Reddy is also a thought-leader beyond business. He served as Chairman of NASSCOM (2015–16), & in 2017, the Government of India honored him with the civilian award Padma Shri for his contribution to trade and industry.

In this episode, listeners will hear Mohan Reddy’s personal journey — from early ambitions to building a global-scale enterprise — and learn what drives and distinguishes a leader committed to values, innovation, and impact. Through candid reflections, the episode reveals the human side of leadership: the struggles, decisions, convictions and perseverance behind success.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, technologist, or aspiring leader, this conversation offers rare insight into what shapes leaders who don’t just aim for growth, but for lasting legacy.
