Bio
Lukasz Lapacz, MBA
I have known Mr Gadhave for over 8 years. We initially met on the MBA programme at one of the most prestigious Universities in the UK – Cardiff University. Later on we became Business Partners in the venture that specialized in building distribution channels for SMEs in South East Asia and Europe and trading goods between UK, India and Poland – Mosaic & Company Ltd. During the time at Mosaic & Co. Mr Gadhave’s main responsibilities were to develop a network amongst Indian small and medium companies and to create and execute the strategy for the company’s future development on the Indian market. As a Business Partner I was extremely satisfied with Mr Gadhave’s commitment to the given responsibilities and with the results he managed to deliver within such a short period of time. Mr Gadhave set up an initial strategy and drew a path to explore the Indian market to which we both agreed to. Nevertheless it was all on Mr Gadhave’s shoulders to execute the whole strategy and build the network, to make sure the results will be delivered, which he did in a spectacular way. Within the first 12 months of operations Mr Gadhave arranged a number of meetings with top Managers of some small and medium size companies in Pune and surrounding area and convinced them to use our service to enter the Polish market. After the 24 months of operations Mosaic & Co. had a number of valuable clients in its portfolio that it helped to sell their products on the European markets. I feel very privileged that I met Mr Gadhave and that we decided to work together. He proved to be not only a very reliable, confident and knowledgeable professional who can work on his own initiatives and build the business from the scratch, but also an individual who thinks strategically, can negotiate very well and what is the most important -deliver the results. Hence, I would like to very strongly recommend Mr Gadhave to everyone who is considering working with him as I can guarantee this will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
