In Big FM, Akash was my Boss. It is admirable how passionate he is about his career. He taught me a lot of things. There is a distinction between a boss and a leader; the former says, "Go," while the latter, "Let's Go." Akash is a fantastic leader.

Abnormally brilliant, enthusiastic, gregarious, and eloquent, are some of the adjectives that spring to my mind when I think of Akash. He was the first manager I reported to at Netscribes, and I could not have asked for a better mentor than him. His understanding of his strength areas are excellent, uses it to his advantage and can drive any discussion towards a natural progression and conclusion. I have found him to be calm and collective even during the most demanding and testing times. Unfailingly polite and courteous, Akash brings an exceptional blend of business insight and personal effectiveness to any role he steps into.
