Bio
Tejas Kothari
Worked with Kush when he was heading AutoHangar and we did the offroad tracks for their Mercedes Events. Kush isn't the run of the mill events/marketing guys. He invests a lot of time and energy in planning events and knows exactly when to micromanage and when to delegate. This ensures that all his events go off flawlessly and are not run of the mill events but have a theme and culture to it. I'd recommend Kush to any organisation as an asset!

Reliable and precise colleague His ideas, skills, knowledge and coordination made all tasks a dream to work on. If you need a highly committed expert, Kush is the right person.
