Bio
Abhimanyu Girotra
I got in touch with Ashish when we were exploring engagement opportunities for expanding internet penetration in India. Ashish was quick to identify the synergy areas and rally airtel teams towards building a solution that’s aligned to the goals of all technology and business teams. His ability to get the alignment from cross-functional teams be it Legal, Regulatory, Network, IT and most importantly the top management was commendable. Ashish shares an excellent rapport with his subordinates, leaders, and partners. He is always respectful and practical in his approach. I see Ashish as an excellent fit for any partnerships and program management roles.
