Magesh was very detail oriented and great to work with. Very receptive to ideas from subordinates and very encouraging.

Sameer Bajaj

Magesh is a very sharp journalist – one who knows & understands his subject inside out. Magesh’s overpowering persona, his exuberance, his wit always make him stand out in the crowd. I wish him all the very best!
