==History== |
|||
MindTree was started by 7 leaders in the Indian IT business and 3 leaders in American IT business, including Scott Staples who now heads MindTree's US operations. They started with a funding of 9.1 million dollars from two Venture Capital firms Walden Interntational and Sivan Securities<ref>{{cite news |first = Neeraj |last = Saxena |url = http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow.cms?art_id=8273131 |title = Soota reflects infotech sector at CII |work = [[Times of India]] |date = [[2002-04-28]] |accessdate = 2006-07-05 }}</ref>.

The company obtained a second round of funding for 14.1 million dollars in August 2001 from the [[Capital Group]], and [[Franklin Templeton]] apart from the initial VCs. |

==Logo== |
|||
[[Image:MindTree Logo.gif|right|MindTree Logo]] MindTree’s logo was created by a student who has [[cerebral palsy]]. The MindTree team interacted with a group of ten students at the Spastics Society of [[Karnataka]] that runs a school for children with cerebral palsy - many in wheel chairs, and briefed them on MindTree’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values. |
|||
Subsequently, over several sessions, the team explained to them some basic concepts behind graphic design and asked them to interpret several known international logos. |
|||
All ten students turned in their version of MindTree’s logo. MindTree decided to adopt the work of Chetan K.S., a student who has motor and speech disability. The decisive skyward, blue brush stroke is Chetan's way of communicating imagination. The red stands for action. Finally, the bright yellow bubbles represent joy. <br/><br/> |
