Bio
Rajiv Rana
We met many people every day, but only some leave the marks, and one of them is Arun. His multitasking ability was unlike I’ve seen before and made an applause-worthy increase in our company’s growth level. Any organization would be lucky to have Arun as theirs manager. will be a valuable asset to any company. As a leader, Arun earns my highest recommendation.
Jacques Oberholzer
Arun is a standout asset to any team. He is a sharp, organized, strategic and a focused product owner. He thoroughly defined project guidelines, scope and worked closely with the business teams to strategize on the delivery goals. He plays a critical role in implementing agile methodology not only in the work we delivered but in stand-ups, meetings, in processes, on retrospectives and in conversation. Arun always cracked the whip and successfully tightened the focus on projects so that scope was met, teams were self-managing and the stories fully met the acceptance criteria. He has a strong ability to represent and clearly communicate business needs to the teams and help lead them in managing and completing complex projects. Most importantly, he does it all with a positive attitude and a sense of humour. It's been a pleasure to work alongside Arun in the trenches and late nights. He is hard-working, hilarious and highly focused. I will miss him as a co-worker and like-minded colleague.
