I think the best way to recommend Krishan is to say that his skills , abilities and knowledge are at the peak of the Industry . I've had the pleasure of working with him in the past and he has passed on his knowledge to me and the team which has contributed a lot to our success in our career. His work ethic ,professionalism , his experience and his contributions as a HR Professional in the industry speak far more for his credibility than I can. You cannot go wrong with Krishan .
