Bio
Alagappan Palaniappan
Shankar was one of my first reporting managers in my career. I was greatly fortunate to have that privilege because I perceive that a manager or boss is equivalent to a general in a battlefield. If you do not lead your army well, it is going to lose. I have always seen him as an outstanding leader. He always expects an in-depth understanding about the technologies & business scenarios we work in, which later gets instilled into your work style. While working under him, I developed significant skills on how to ask the right questions, how to navigate discussions, unravel insights and architect robust solutions. I got to understand client perspectives, expectations and core product deliverables on my rich product development experience with him, in the ever-changing world IT infra & Cloud space.
