Bala Chandra (Dubai) talks to Jessica Fellowes this week about ‘inorganic growth,’ how having a performance psychologist in his staff transformed his company and what Harvard Business school did teach him.
Bala grew up in India and when he first arrived in London as a programmer, he came down to breakfast and couldn’t understand why he was the only person in the room. He had no idea that such a concept as daylight saving time existed! Now, Bala is the founder of technology group Propel, with 1500 people between US, Europe and India.
