Sudhakar Ram, head of IT firm Mastek,talks about how to run companies better, make our personal lives more fulfilling and transform the planet into a happier place We live in an era of global warming, unsustainable lifestyles and profit-driven corporate behemoths that don't care to engage with their employees. Sudhakar Ram, himself the captain of a multinational IT firm, identifies these as products of the Industrial Age. The only way out of this mess is what he envisions as the 'Connected Age'. Here, 'connected' is used not in the sense of telecommunication but in the sense of governments being more in touch with the people and the ecology, and people in turn being more in touch with their own selves and each other. Drawing on the ideas of several modern thinkers - including path-breaking architects,environmentalists, management gurus and futurists - Sudhakar Ram calls for dramatic changes in the way we run our lives, our companies and our planet itself so we can leave behind a better world for future generations.
