I have had the privilege of collaborating with Kanesh in the dynamic realm of the 5G global community, where we participated in two enlightening panel discussions. He has consistently demonstrated a profound understanding of emerging technologies and their implications for the future. With an impressive repertoire knowledge spanning across 5G, Big Data, IoT, Cyber Security, Cloud, OSS/BSS, LTE, and AI. His insights into these domains have been invaluable in shaping our discussions and driving the discourse forward. I sincerely recommend Kanesh for any endeavor that requires a forward-thinking, technically savvy, and expert.

I met Kaneshwaran for one of the 5G security sessions, his knowledge about the industry is massive, covering all 5G domains in depth. With his foundation and work, he is not only serving the ICT community but also educating the vendors/operators how to scale 5G use cases. I found him humble and a team player, I wish him all the best to the wonderful work he is doing.

I met Kaneshwaran on Linkedin a while ago, I am grateful to be part of his connection. I love the way he is leading the non-profit cause named XCHANGING IDEAS on Global 5G Evolution. I always got to know something every day through his latest post. He is so avid on the technological transformation. A good source to know where are we heading in the future. His diligence to work with anonymous experts across the Global helps to collaborate on these XCHANGING IDEAS on Global 5G Evolution. I had shared a technical online session early this month and was amazed to see his efforts and presentation. Looking forward to speaking in the upcoming session as well. Keep it up the great stuff Kaneshwaran!
