Bio
Ankit Saxena
From my experience, Najaf has great leadership skills as he combines an authentic spirit of service with a sharp and critical mind. I found Najaf to be committed, passionate and conscientious, determined to make a difference where ever he can. Whenever I used to ask any doubt he clarified it in a very simple way and he never spoke in a rude way to clarify my doubts that's the main quality which I liked most. When he performs the work is ultimate. And I have learned a lot of things from him. If I owned a company and had huge targets to achieve Najaf would be the guy I would choose to manage, execute and achieve the targets. Any company he would work for I am sure he would run miracles for them. It’s a pleasure to work with him.

Najaf is a person whom anyone who has worked with him would love to recommend. I really feel proud to be associated with him while working in NIIT Tech. I found not only a great Team Player in him, but a great friend as well who is ready to help you, back you, guide you, scold you and motivate you when it is required. Due to his hard-work and dedication he achieved many landmarks, many appreciations from the clients and is one of the best assets of the company. I'll always remember him as a great mentor and a lovely friend. His numerical and analytical abilities are second to none and I wish him well on his future career.
