Stakeholder Testimonials
“Guru has been one of the best colleagues that I have ever had. He was single handedly responsible for helping me adequately manage a not-so-easy account and it was only due to his on-the-ground relations with key stakeholders that we were in good books of the client. His best qualities as per me- orientation to details, sincerity, ability to see big picture and extreme politeness.
I would love to work with him anytime in the future.”Former Manager
“Best Manager Ever – I’m amazed at your way of simplifying complex concepts with such ease. I really appreciate your professional skills. “
Former Team Member
Guru is an excellent manager that always is working to understand the root business issues ensuring program success. While working with Guru it was always a pleasure that he often managed “by walking around” as often face-to-face is the best management style. I enjoy working with Guru and would welcome another opportunity together to add value into a complex business.

You faced some challenges, which I’m sure would have driven a lesser person to madness! In comparison, you have shown a calm and a composed response, maintaining the cool leadership we’ve all come to rely on, still making yourself available to support team mates, and providing the perpetual warm and friendly attribute that I value so highly. You are a legend, a fantastic leader and a brilliant human.
