People
Expertise-Led Culture-Backed People

For Mindtree “Welcome to possible” is more than a slogan - it reflects our approach to every engagement. Some believe in the power of numbers. Some believe in the power of technology. We believe in the power of people. And the impact people can have on technology. Our roots grew from this belief that people with diverse points of view could come together to build a different kind of technology company. One that puts people who work with us, first. And this belief drives our vision for tomorrow to build technology experts who are focused on one goal: helping our clients succeed. Today, a wealth of information is opening up a world of possibilities. Realizing those possibilities takes more than numbers. It takes more than technology. It takes people. People who can turn the potential of information into meaningful solutions. Solutions that simplify businesses. Improve Governments. Propel societies forward.

Developing an expert Mindtree Mind

The expert Mindtree Mind is to be cultivated and cared for in a conscious way in order to be created. The way we approach development of our people is akin to that of a gardener tending to his garden, planting the saplings or replanting the plants and nurturing them by creating the right environment needed for their growth.

Orchard is our program for young minds who enter our enterprise from the campuses they graduate from. Fresh minds, just like sapling are keen with curiosity, energy with enthusiasm and tender in disposition. Orchard is their first brush with the environment and the care taken here determines their growth ahead.

Arboretum is our on-boarding platform for experienced talent pool, our lateral hires. Before they get into projects, Arboretum acclimatizes them to the new environment, exposing them to the Mindtree culture.

Culture & Competence doesn't just train minds to meet organization goals but to develop them as competent and complete individuals and to aim at an enculturation of them into our strong work culture.

Grooming future leaders. Expert minds can be created with rigorous trainings but expert minds with leadership capabilities can be groomed only with effective coaching and mentoring. Our vision of leadership development sees a leader emerging out of his/her strengths on the four agility factors - mental, people, change & result, combined with at least one of the four competencies and catalyzed by the extent of self-awareness.

Mindtree's people strategy is to inculcate a high performance culture. The critical ingredients that nurture performance assessment and development are: Simplicity - A more efficient and engaging system (PACE) that facilitates seamless and less time consuming appraisal process. Goal Setting and performance linkage - Power of cascading organization's vision to all levels, power of social goal setting (linking goals with each other) & role based goal setting. Meaningful reviews - which create the expertise driven performance culture. Feedback and conversations in our day to day work and individual development plan. The Pillars Program at Mindtree has been designed to reward high performers and recognize the contributions of their family. The program aims to nurture and retain star performers, build a robust leadership pipeline and engage with the extended Mindtree family. At Mindtree, recognition is expressed in many ways. Recognition is integral to our culture - we celebrate things big and small - and we strive to find new ways to appreciate one another every day. SPOT ON drives our recognition philosophy.

Headcount

The total number of Mindtree Minds as on March 31, 2015 was 14,202 as against 12,926 as on March 31, 2014.

The Company has in place a Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) policy in line with the requirements of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. Frequent communication of this policy is done in assimilation programs and at regular intervals to Mindtree Minds.

Details of Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption, Foreign Exchange Earnings and Outflow

[Clause (m) of sub-section (3) of section 134 of the Act, r/w Rule 8 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014]

(A) Conservation of energy:

  • Your company has taken several initiatives for ecological sustainability which indirectly contributes to conservation of energy.
  • The Mindtree training and development center in Bhubaneshwar is a standing testimony to this. This is a state-of-the-art training and development center which has been built using mud blocks. Other important sustainability related features of this facility are passive cooling system and storage and usage of rain water using an artificial lake with a capacity of 14.7 million litres. We also plan to have LEED Platinum certification for this facility. The details of the ecological sustainability initiatives in Mindtree Bhubaneshwar facility is as under:
  • Use of Soil Cement Blocks: The facility has been built using soil cement blocks (i.e) surplus soil available at site. By using the soil available at site, your Company has made a tiny contributed to anti-deforestation, as the usage of conventional bricks (burnt bricks) requires burning of fire wood - which contributes to deforestation, or usage of cement blocks - results in usage of large quantity of river sand, which can create ecological imbalance. To the extent of the information available with the Company, we believe that our Bhubhneshwar facility is the World’s largest soil cement block institutional building. Your Company has spent ₹14.1 million for producing these soil cement blocks.
  • Water conservation: A large artificial lake with capacity of 14.7 million liters has been created, which should enable us to manage with rain water for 10 out of 12 months for all non-drinking purposes. In addition, the facility has the capacity to collect roof top rain water measuring 330,000 liters, and the entire facility has rain water harvesting facility.
  • Passive cooling systems: The facility is fitted with cooling system that works on the principle of passive cooling. The passive cooling system does not emit any harmful gases, and is environment friendly. It works with just 20% power compared to conventional air conditioning. Your Company has invested ₹ 11 Million in these passive cooling systems.
  • The Company has also taken several other constructive steps to conserve energy through its sustainability initiatives as elaborately disclosed separately as part of the Business Responsibility Report annexed to this Annual Report.

(B) Technology absorption:

  • Efforts in brief, made in R&D and technology absorption
  • Mindtree has more than 15 years of proven track record as a key differentiator, for commitment and investments towards technology and innovation. In this financial year, we have further sharpened the focus on strategic & emerging technologies and innovation, leading to differentiated business engagement with our customers.

Strategic Technologies

We continue to focus on strategic and emerging technologies critical for future business. Specifically, the four pillars of digital business viz., Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud Computing (SMAC) and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) have been nurtured.

Social-Mobile-Analytics-Cloud

Mindtree was born digital and has increased its focus on emerging technologies in the digital space. We have built deep expertise in defining and realizing Digital Transformations for large enterprises.

Focus on digital technologies (SMAC) over the past year has positioned us to take on future challenges as these technologies have matured. Deep expertise built on these technologies over the past year along with strategic partnerships, innovative execution models and platforms & solutions built, will aid our growth.

Social - We are currently building a platform for Social Network Analytics using which consumer facing digital solutions could be made contextual and personal to consumers, while providing the ability to cross-sell and up-sell. We have also built interesting solutions using gamification concepts and weaving in social concepts like "Wall", "Chat", "Share", etc., into enterprise applications.

Mobile - Our "Mobile first" engineering culture has created simple, elegant & innovative solutions for customers in domains like hospitality, banking, retail, etc., In July 2014, Mindtree was chosen by ING Vysya, a premier private sector bank, for its next generation mobility program.
Mindtree and SAP - market leader in enterprise application software, announced their first Managed Mobility Offering for the Australia market. In this model, our Company will deliver SAP mobile solutions in cloud, with a pay-by-usage model.
We have also built a partnership with Xamarin and have sponsored the Xamarin Evolve 2014, an annual worldwide developer conference held in October 2014 at Atlanta.

Analytics - Big Data and Analytics has been an industry hot topic for the last several years and will continue as one of the top agendas at the CxO level for the next several years. In addition to SMAC and IoT we are adding more imperatives for organizations to deal with the onslaught of data and real time decision making. We have focused our efforts to build innovative Big Data, Analytics and Visualization solutions to deliver superior business-outcomes for clients.
The growing opportunity to make sharper business decisions based on advanced analytics and machine learning, using both internal company data and external third party data - in near real-time - is one area that has been prioritized. A Big Data Analytics Lab was established and several centers of excellence, to focus on solutions development and collaboration with several startup companies who are bringing disruptive innovations in this space.
Solutions built by our Company are casting a wider net to address several areas including "integrated customer insight", "Big Data as a Platform", "Engaged Banking", "Insurance Churn Management", "Gamers Insight", "Geo-Spatial Analytics", etc., to name a few.

Cloud - As organizations across the world adopt cloud computing, the nature and maturity of cloud computing is evolving to meet these needs. Need for portability across cloud providers has led to the emergence of cloud management platforms and evolution of technologies towards containerization from simple virtual machine technologies. This has reduced the gap between IaaS and PaaS and is significantly changing the way DevOps is being implemented. Recognizing this shift, Mindtree has invested in containerization and new age PaaS and is working with customers in applying these solutions to solve their problems. Our expertise in this area is now primed for growth and has witnessed significant interest from clients.
Microsoft has seen immense growth with millions of clients making Microsoft Azure one of the most successful platforms for building cloud solutions. Microsoft has chosen to work even closer with its top Azure partners by creating the Microsoft "HiPo" program for "High Potential Azure Partners". Effective December 2014, our Company has been selected by Microsoft to join their new "Azure High Potential Partner Program". Our Company is now a Globally Managed, Gold-Certified Azure Partner for Microsoft. Microsoft recognizes that our Company employs thousands of the finest Architects, Engineers, Consultants and Cloud specialists - all of whom can share this tremendous opportunity to build and deliver Azure based solutions that solve real business problems and enable our customers to adopt cloud.

Emerging Technologies

Your Company has been known for its consistent belief in investing in technology and innovation for securing its future. In this financial year, we have strengthened this further by carving out Centers of Excellence (CoE) under the CTO organization, tasked with all round concerted thrust on emerging technologies and to understand their role in the context of business of customers. In these CoEs, the following emerging technologies were explored in depth and several reusable assets were built to enable delivery.

Internet of Things - Your Company has 15 years of deep expertise in short range wireless connectivity technologies which is one of the most critical enabler for the Internet of Things. In continuing with its leadership in the Bluetooth© and Bluetooth Smart© technologies, we became the first company in the industry to achieve the compliance certification and interoperability verification of the Bluetooth Smart version 4.2. This version of the specification has advanced features to enable stronger security & privacy as well as higher data rates. These features will accelerate the adoption in markets like wearables, smart homes and connected medical devices to name a few. It also enables seamless connectivity over IPv6 which makes Bluetooth Smart the best connectivity technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) market.
Besides wireless connectivity, your Company has established deep domain expertise in wearable devices, embedded intelligence, data communication, cloud computing and data analytics. Internet of Things is an end-to-end play of all these technologies culminating in the transformation of the IT-driven enterprise into a real-time data-driven enterprise. This year, we have created an IoT Center of Excellence (CoE) to bring all the above technologies in delivering IoT solutions to our customers across all our industry verticals under one umbrella.
The CoE delivered a custom training and expertise building program enabling over 100 IoT engineers. The CoE created industry use, case specific IOT solutions for Smart Premises, Travel and Transport, Insurance and Fitness and wellness monitoring, leveraging leading IOT devices and platforms such as the Intel GalileoTM and EdisonTM, ARM MbedTM, XivelyTMetc., your Company forged crucial solution integration and value added reselling partnerships with industry leading IOT Backend PaaS platforms such as ThingWorxTM and Microsoft AzureTM.

Emerging Architecture Patterns and Technologies - Your Company is been building capabilities and reference implementations using Micro services architecture using actor based reactive programming model. We have also invested in building new-age web applications using MEAN architecture. We are also building capabilities & solutions using Client-side MVC technologies like Angular.js, Backbone.js, etc., along with server side JavaScript technologies like Node.js.

Future languages & data stores - We have also invested in building capabilities and solutions using future functional languages like Scala & Erlang and future data stores like Cassandra, MemSQL, NuoDB, HBASE, etc.,

Future Microsoft technologies - We have also started building capabilities and solutions using emerging Microsoft technologies like .NET 4.5, SQL Server 2014, HDInsight, Machine Learning, Mobile services, etc.,

Platforms and Domain Solutions

Mindtree has focused its efforts to build innovative cloud-hosted platforms to deliver superior business-outcomes for clients. The growing opportunity to make sharper business decisions, based on predictive analytics and machine learning, using both internal company data and external third party data - in near real-time - is one area that has been prioritized.

The consumer and packaged goods sector is a key target market, where clients are seeking to optimize their product assortment being sold to each store for maximizing same-store sales. Offering this service in large emerging markets with thousands of small stores is especially difficult. Your Company is uniquely positioned to do this, given its past experience and knowledge of the area.

Similarly, the retail sector also has tremendous opportunities to improve the shopper experience in what we call the 'Phygital' world. The 'Phygital' World is one where shoppers move from online to offline and back, seamlessly while they search, research, buy products and services. Enabling a highly personalized and superior shopping experience in this environment is one of the other prioritized solution areas. This work is being backed by in-depth research of shopper preferences conducted in US, UK and Europe, which has been widely reported in public media.

The other key aspect of these solutions is that they are being designed to be run in cloud-hosted multi-tenant environments for faster client onboarding and lower operating costs. The business-critical nature of the services will also ensure client stickiness.

Digital Video Surveillance Solutions - We are currently focusing on state-of-the-art IP based video surveillance management, recording and analytic products and solutions. Your Company has more than 30 technology and system integration partners in India and world-wide and has participated in several conferences (shows) around the country. The key products in Digital Video Surveillance portfolio include the following:

  1. SecureMindTM is the Video Management Software, which has more than 8000 licenses sold so far.
  2. GladiusTM Video Management Software is your Company's flagship Enterprise class video management software, which has been installed at several key installations in India including Bengaluru Traffic Control, Karnataka Chief Minister’s residence, Bengaluru Jail, Belgaum Jail. We have sold over 3,500 licenses of Gladius since the launch early this year.
  3. Video Analytics Solutions include sterile zone violation detection, direction violation, missing object, foreign object and crowd detection, people counting and heat maps for retail industry, Video based smoke and fire detection for Oil and Gas Industries and AutoPTZ tracking for large perimeter protection.

Mindtree has filed 4 patents in India and US so far in the area of Video analytics and all 4 US Patents have been granted.

Innovation Evangelism

We identified a need to accelerate the business case creation for digital solutions in customer enterprises. This need was arose from the IT and business groups. The reason for stagnation at business case stage was due to the large volume of opportunity in digital that needed to be validated and conceptualized with limited bandwidth.

We set out and created an innovation lab called 'The Digital Pumpkin' to ease business case creation and release more projects into build phase. It is a co-innovation & co-creation platform for our customers and prospects. The Digital Pumpkin engages business & IT community of target enterprise to rapidly innovate, prototype and validate viability of digital solutions for their business. At The Digital Pumpkin, creativity and technology were applied that resulted in creation of about 40+ concepts in this year.

Benefits derived as a result of the above R&D

Information and communication technology industry by its nature is a fast evolving industry with multiple competing technologies and innovations. It is therefore critical for your Company to continue its R&D efforts not merely to stay abreast of the developments, but to stay ahead in assessing the emerging trends. Your Company, through such R&D investments, is able to advice and help its customers to adopt and absorb the right technologies in their business transformative journey.

Future plan of action

Mindtree will continue to invest in R&D initiatives, especially in emerging technologies. Under the CTO organization, we will focus on emerging technology spaces like Cognitive computing and related technologies like machine learning, deep learning & predictive analytics. We will also invest in reimagining engineering digital solutions using automation technologies and tools.

Technology Absorption, Adaptation and Innovation

We are proactively investing in the Centers of Excellence & Digital pumpkin to foster early experimentation of technology to build innovative solutions and thereby help our customers build next generation products & solutions. We provide our employees with a 'state of the art' working environment, enabling them to optimize their performance & productivity. The excellent communication infrastructure put in place by us ensures that the employees get to work on the same environment that the customers' engineering teams work on.

The communication infrastructure also enables our employees working onsite to work very closely, with their counterparts, in India, enabling a 24- hour delivery model. The adoption of latest technology along with the investments in R&D enables us to be the preferred technology solutions provider to many leading global corporations.

Your Company has spent ₹ 212 million on research and development during the year 2014 - 15
