Bio
Neetu Khemani
Kanchan was a great professional to work with. We worked together at Fiber2Fashion on several projects and she is one of the best people to have as a partner. Kanchan brings all her creative skills and abilities to the table as a manager. She is reliable and very goal-oriented, which inspired our team to try our best always. I highly recommend Kanchan Balani as a content strategist and would love to work together again.

I have worked with Kanchan at E2M and found her to be exceptionally talented. She has the knack for writing both technical and non-technical content and excels in all the assignments that she takes up. A hard worker, she's someone who is a great team player as well as a responsible writer when working independently. I would recommend her work and also would like to work with her in future, given a chance.
