Akhil with all means is a man of character and professional. I have worked with him in Hills & Fort Construction LLC Dubai and he is amazing person to deal with. Akhil is loved and respected by his team and every single colleagues around for his values and smart work. Although he worked for procurement team, he was my immediate choice to receive quick inputs when a feedback was required from employee and employer perspectives for my actions as company’s HR manager. He can go extra mile and helpful in any situation and will align with the company values all the time. Akhil a thorough gentleman with capability in his field of work and 100% commitment is mantra. He will be asset to any organization and team he will associate is my vouch for Akhil. I wish all the best to Akhil to excel in life.

We’ve joined our hands on several projects, and Akhil is one of the best people I had as a partner. I highly recommend his expertise to any person looking for a procurement engineer. He is the most profound person I have met, and his ability to tackle any problem is remarkable and with a warm smile. Akhil would become an appreciated member of any team.
