Mahesh Deshpande
I have known Makarand since 2007. We had the pleasure of working together on several film projects. I found that he is dedicated to his work and I can confidently say he is a highly creative individual. I also feel that he is technically skilled in his area of expertise. There was a good amount of knowledge sharing while we worked together. He is open minded and a good team player. I am absolutely sure he will be an asset to any organization. I wish him all the very best in his creative endeavors.
