Rai is the India head of an IT MNC and a recipient of Udyog Rattan Award. After earning his degree in computer science from BITS Pilani in the late '80s, he worked at Siemens, in New Delhi and then in Germany.

Later, he moved on to work with Adaptec in the US. During the late '90s, when Indians were flooding the US job market, he sensed better opportunities in India and swam against the tide to join Motorola in Bangalore.

Having gained the required experience, he took another gamble in leaving a safe and successful career in Motorola to bet on a small start-up, Infinera.

Since then Infinera has gone public and is growing manyfold.Utkarsh's desire to share his experiences with a wide audience spurred him to write books.

He is also the author of Offshoring Secrets and Life in a Cubicle (e-book).
