Bio
Santhosh Kumar Soudary
I have relationship with Ram since 20yrs and professional relationship (as consultant to our start-up) since 1yr from the time I started build WeddingServices. It was great learning and support received from Ram on at every step of our journey while making my idea to reality. Today we are at revenue generation stage because of Ram. His support in designing right strategy and the process helped us alot in get to this stage. As growth consultant he is the best in the industry. Very professional and passionate on work . Long term vision creator for start ups, Franchisee modelling expert and he is the best mentor I have ever seen in market . I strongly recommend Ram to all the start-ups to collaborate with him to convert your idea into reality. Me and my team had great experience with him on implementations and go to market strategy development. Thank you Ram for all your support.

Venkat is an excellent coach and mentor who stood aside me and helped in our startup transformation journey. As a mentor his contribution to my startup in the areas such as Client Relationship, Project delivery and Post delivery support helped us a lot. I am happy that we started as an IT services startup and now inching towards launching our first SAAS product. Without his support this would not have been that easy. I am fortunate to have him as my mentor in very early stage of startup journey. I strongly recommend other aspiring startup founders to consider association with Venkat and flourish their business.

An extraordinary trustworthy personality to work with. I have worked with Venkat as a Co-founder, partner, friend, associate during the formative years of PositiveShift. I have found him extremely dependable with continuous supply of positive energy. He has an impeccable ability to handle uncertainty. He is very supportive and was always approachable and willing take the time to help and support his team members. He is extremely friendly and has excellent networking skills. I have found him extremely delivery & outcome focused with an emphasis on the value creation. I believe he will add tremendous value to any initiative and propel the same towards tangible success.
