Bio
Vidul Goenka
Aska is a determined and diligent individual who puts forth her work before herself. She is a thorough team-player and professional in her approach. Furthermore, she is not hesitant in putting forth her ideas while leaving room for others' opinions. I have had the opportunity to work with her in two different projects, wherein she displayed good scientific acumen and work ethic. I wish her all the best for her future endeavours.

She is not only diligent but very punctual too. She is thorough with her concepts, thus is a great asset to the team. Her lively nature is enough to brighten up a dull day at work.
