Bio
Dharmesh Makwana
An ADB Scholar, a visualiser and an out of box thinker. For Prakash, even sky is not the limit. His ideas are just amazing and blends well with business and technology. Prakash was one guy in our class who always surprised us with his Walkabout, MRR and Case Analysis. He also possess excellent entrepreneurial qualities which he showcased throughout his career. It was good to have him in the same CAN group during our course of MM.

I have known Prakash for more than 20 years now. Since engineering days, he has awed me with his brilliance. He is not only a great thinker who can master any complex topic with ease due to his immense knowledge, but is also a creative powerhouse! He is highly intellectual and I have over the years sought his guidance from time to time. He continuously pushes the envelope and having him in any team is undoubtedly a great asset. He is a wonderful mix of business and technology. Some of his professional accomplishments that stand out for me are being the topper in the Finite Automata classes ( one of the foundation principle for AI), setting up his own company , SysconTech in 2007, where he consulted DRDO , ....on UML modelling/ system architecture design, recipient of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) full scholarship etc. He is passionate and committed in whatever he does and I would highly recommend him!!!
