Bio
Akshay Kumar
I have now known Jai for over 15 years, having worked with him for about 18 months, and then having stayed in touch. I have watched him scale some good professional heights, and have been proud of him. Jai is a very sincere, honest and committed person. His work ethos is very high and good. His strategic knowledge of Distribution can be well evidenced through his demonstrated abilities in expanding Large distribution networks in telecom as well as financial services , managing large Government & Retail partners and creating new start up businesses. The other special quality about him is his Relationship Management with Channel partners & Colleagues which is exceptional and an asset in any organization, even more so in matrix ones. He knows how to work in an influencing role without direct control too. And,what used to impress me also was his ability and desire to learn new things in his line of work. Which helped him actually be successful across categories / industries. He has stayed well connected with Business / channel partners over geographies and years, as they have sensed a true partner in him, who looks forward to creating win-win solutions. Having done well so far, I am sure he will continue to shine and achieve fabulous results. I wish him all the best in all the years to come.

I worked closely with K. Jaisekhar in Usha Martin Telekom Ltd - Command Cell Phone Services from 1998 to 2000. During this time, Jaisekhar stood out for several reasons - his strict work ethic, attention to detail, desire to get the job done at any cost, his passion to learn from every situation, and his uncompromising honesty. As a person, Jaisekhar is very affable, humble in spite of his achievements and a terrific team player. He is sure to be a credit to any organisation he may choose to join.

Mr Jaisekhar is a detail oriented leader with strong relationship management skills. He always sees the big picture and has guided us to achieve set goals. A highly motivated and disciplined leader with global exposure would be an asset to any organization . I wish him the very best in the new endeavor.
