THE JOY OF ADJUSTING A LITTLE

Partha DeSarkar, executive director and CEO of Hinduja Global Solutions, not only advocates making small adjustments but also taking oneself less seriously to remain happy

Partha DeSarkar's P fondest childhood memory is of the time he spent in the tea gardens of Kalimpong in West Bengal, watching Mount Kanchenjunga when he looked into the distance and the river Teesta flowing when he looked below. The executive director and chief executive officer of Hinduja Global Solutions, a digital customer experience leader and part of the multi-conglomerate Hinduja Group, grew up there, so one is in for a surprise when he effortlessly mouths the Kannada-English phrase "Swalpa adjust maadi". Literally translated, it means, "Please adjust a little," he explains, pointing out that this popular Bengaluru usage describes him the best-he is always willing to adjust a little.
