Muralidharan Keeramangalam
I have reported to Vijay for the past 4 years.I say his leadership shaped my career in best ways.I always amassed by the way he handled resources and projects.He knows the strength and opportunities of his team and use their strength to the maximum extent and at the same time mentors the individual on the opportunities and coaches them to improve on that.He always suggests good practices while communicating with the customers and also mentors how to interact with upper management vs technical folks. He never hesitates to appreciate the individual for their good work and at the time he coaches the team if something is not done in a correct way. He always challenges the team to come up with better ideas which helped me a lot to think differently about various issues, bring a lot of ideas which helped the team to build a solid product. He set high standards for the projects he handled and helped the team to address the shortcoming of most products he handled.
