Shahan is a natural negotiator who knows to perfectly balance the service offering with the appropriate price point in a win-win situation for both sides. Having interacted with him at the time of setting up Tila in KSA, I found him to be collaborative, friendly, and possess out of box thinking skills. I wish him luck and am sure that an organization will be proud to have him as an employee.

Shahan is one of those few at Jamia Millia Islamia who has inspired and guided me a lot. I got to know him closely during our first inter college fest. I saw him winning it- and then saw him planning out an entire event in an upcoming fest for the next year. The way he looked at the task – planned for it, thought much ahead and of all the possibilities was simply brilliant. Seminars, quiz, cultural show- any event! – it had been a smooth sail with Shahan leading the team. He was been an active participant and organizer for debate and elocution. As a participant, he won the most coveted and fiercely fought prize of University elocution. Beside extracurricular activities, he was among the top three ranks in university and was awarded full scholarship. He was the University Representative for Career Launcher and within a year was recognized as the best representative in North Zone! He immensely raised the performance benchmark. I have seen him smartly confidently and calmly handling loads of work. He is an excellent mentor- team player and a very humble individual- always willing to learn, develop and consistently strive for perfection. I wish him all the very best for a very brilliant career.
