Dipankar Mandal
Arko is very effective at bridging the conceptual gaps between business needs, aesthetics and technology and coming up with a creative but practical design. This ability along with his clearly apparent intelligence makes him a very valuable resource. Even though he did not report to me directly, I had the experience of working directly with him when I was championing a development project and what I found most remarkable was his ability to comprehend what I wanted, sometimes even before I had finished explaining! I would not hesitate to recommend Arko to anyone and given the opportunity, would hire him again.
