Bio
Ravi Nangia
Girish has been great leader, held in high esteem equally by his team & peers. Experience & Knowledge are the hall mark of Girish. He is a business leader who has the ability to build any business from ground up into a robust one. I worked with him for over 2 years and enjoyed his ability to 'think big & build right strategy to deliver on the big picture'. His leadership style is of an Inspirational Leader and blends in with leading from front & empower people creating a winning team. Positive attitude and ready to venture in to new areas and building next level of leaders ready for larger roles, have been the other strengths of Girish. I wish him all the best always in building more successful organizations with his penchant for building sustained growth in both on bottom & top lines

Girish Chawla was my line manager in 2013-14 for little over a year. The time we worked together was small but the learning I had was huge. He is an extremely supportive, knowledgeable and hands on line manager. However he gives complete leeway and lends his firm support if you can convince that you know what you are doing, which is not always easy as he is extremely technical too and understands the domain very well. Girish also has this endearing quality of being extremely approachable and available at all times if you need to reach him. Even though it’s been few years since Girish left Nokia, I know he is still available for the team for personal or professional advice and support whenever required.
