Sadaf Ilyas
I have known Mahesh from 2005 and at that time we were in competing organisations, but I had huge regards for him mainly because no one single person commanded such huge credentials in any market and secondly his amazing ability to handle any situation. His wit and presence of mind is simply outstanding. Well I always wanted to work with a strong individual like him and I got a chance as well during my Reliance stint. Although the power of our association could never get truly felt due to a short stint. However, I will always look up to him as a senior, a colleague and get inspiration from him at various points in my life. Need I say more about a person? A big thumbs up to him for any role and in any industry....
