Ajanta is hands down one of the best manager I have worked for. He is very technical and almost has super human skills and stamina. He is always responsive and can context switch between multiple projects in almost no time. He is a master of all trades be technical, managerial or inter personal skills. I look up to him as my role model and have learnt a lot from him in my years of association with him. I would always love to work with him again sometime in the future.

Ajanta and I worked together on a major transformation of Akamai's customer portal and Ajanta was directly responsible for its success. He was awarded the highest honor in the company, the Danny Lewin award, for this tremendous work on this effort. He is deep technically and is exceptional at hitting his commitments, something that is unfortunately rare. He is very good to the people on his team. Ajanta is exceptional and someone I highly recommend.

Comments from Danny Lewin Award nominations: "He deserves this award because he defines the concept of 'hard worker' -- serving this company day in and day out, not seeking recognition but doing it because he loves what he does and he is driven by seeing his team and our company succeed at everything we do."

He willingly shares his talent and expertise with others and has patience to answer any question in-detail."
