Eittee Gupta
I was Divya's hiring manager at FICCI and have worked with her over the past five years. I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I made while I was at FICCI:) A quick learner with strong content, eye for detail and creative ideas, Divya has been a great asset to the team. Divya is an extremely hard working person and shoulders responsibility with utmost sincerity.You can allocate a task to her and be assured that the task will be executed well in time and with the best quality output.I recommend Divya strongly as she will add immense value to any organisation she works with owing to her work, team spirit and ethics.

I have worked with Divya on three versions of IIGP 2.0, an innovation focused multi-tier, multi-stakeholder project. Her hard work, eye for details, ability to manage both people and timelines has been very valuable to the projects. Her brightness and aptitude to think through enriches both work delivery & quality. I would recommend her for any cross cultural teams and projects centering around social impact.
