Arjun worked collaboratively with the UK team ensuring provision of professional insight in a timely fashion. Contact with Arjun was positive and his communication was second to none.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Arjun for little more than 18 months and in that time I have known Arjun to be a well-grounded and down to earth mentor / manager. He is a calculated risk taker, pragmatic leader and realist who seems to grasp ideas holistically while still taking note to the more acute details. I have learned a lot from Arjun & I hope I would also get another chance to work under him as he is a hard worker, good team leader and value creator in the truest sense.
