I have collaborated with Kamlesh on several projects as a peer. Kamlesh's greatest strength is ability to develop customer-centric solutions to any problem, which are powered by his quest for perfection and attention to detail. I would strongly endorse him for any customer facing role in an analytically oriented group.

It was a pleasure to work with Kamlesh on a common assignment a year ago. He came across as a diligent and hard working individual who was completley committed to the task at hand. Needless to say, the project was well received by our team.
