While Handling a part of the CNS growth portfolio at Abbott, I had the privilege of reporting directly into Mr. KN Parameswaran. KNP or Param as he is fondly called, is one of the most approachable & accessible superiors I have ever worked with. Be it any task or assignment, he is always involved with his team mates/subordinates right from the start to the end & at the end of the day ensures that it is completed with utmost accuracy & perfection.

I first got to interface with Parameswaran when he was an EA to the Director formulations at Piramal Healthcare (Now Abbott) . I always found Param to be diligent and objective in his deliberations. He did more than justice to his role by constantly shifting gears between audit and Value add. His involvement in driving projects assigned to logical conclusions needs a special mention. A pleasing personality and adept communication skills enable Param in striking a chord easily with peers and seniors. Param does come across as an individual highly competent yet firmly grounded. Thus, I am sure that Param would not just meet but surpass expectations in all professional endeavours.
