Bio
Chhavi Jain
Nitya is inspiring, committed and an extremely balanced professional. Her leadership and creativity brings out the best in everyone on the team. I thank her for her exceptional guidance as my mentor.
Ishan Choudhary
There are few people who one would associate with a "cool" boss, Nitya is a perfect team woman. She is humble as a person but a hard task master as a boss. I have never come across her trying to assert her seniority on anyone in our team, though she is seasons senior to me as a professional. She is open to new ideas and has no hesitancy whatsoever in taking inputs from junior members. She is a wonderful planner and has a cool head. I have never seen her panic which works wonders in tense situations. She is never shy on taking up work from my share whenever I have my plates full. So even when the chips are down or work is flowing in, I never feel the pressure of the situation as Nitya sets realistic and honest targets to each piece of work. She is definately one of the more honest & logical superiors I have ever reported to.I am sure she is going to do wonders as a leader and as a team member wherever she goes.
