Laura Burbidge
Manish quickly learnt the basics of dashboard / report preparation using Power BI desktop during the internship. Manish also helped the team with the stress testing of the NSS dashboard. It was a pleasure to have Manish in the team, and the experience gained from the internship should be transferable into any role Manish chooses to go for in future.
Adesina Michael Ileladewa
It was heartening to see the effort put in by Manish during micro - internship in learning about ‘Inclusion of Sustainability in Procurement as per guidelines of ISO 20400’. His rigorous analytical approach in designing a template for mapping of sustainability risks along supply chain while procuring a product or services was quite innovating. The recommended solutions to mitigate risk during Tender stage and while monitoring the project was quite informative. He would be a great asset at any organisation and I along with members of my department would wish him best of luck for his future.
Mr Raaj Nair
Manish is really good at handling complex operations with ease. I admire the way he maintained his calm during various crisis situations and marshalled all resources to save his colleagues and subordinates from near death situations. As far as the Capital Procurement is concerned, he has an eye for detail and has progressed cases worth billions of dollar during his tenure. I am sure that he would be a great asset to any organisation he joins. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a senior manager in Operations and procurement role.
