I've had the pleasure of working with Ketika while she helped me sorting out the details and making the process hassle-free. She was always very professional and had my questions answered in timely manner. Ketika is a dependable professional with exemplary work ethics. On top of that, her helping attitude and humble demeanor make her a dream to work with. She'd be an asset to any team. I wish her success!

I did not hire Ketika but she is exactly the level of person I would have hired. She is an excellent communicator both as a broadcaster and as a media professional. Always full of positive energy and drive while presenting her ideas and strategies. As a presenter she has a natural highly likeable style that is so rare.
