I had the pleasure of working very closely with Mahesh throughout my time at Rewardz. He is a highly trusted, supportive and loyal individual who consistently goes above and beyond to support his colleagues and partners. Mahesh played a critical role in establishing our presence in Malaysia and forging key partnerships for the merchant network. His positive attitude and strong work ethic make him a pleasure to work with, and he has become a close friend through our collaboration over the years!
