Bio
Mohammad Saquib
I'm not sure what I have done in my life to deserve an opportunity to work under a Manager like Prem. He is not only an incredible problem-solver knowing ins and outs of Bid Management, but also a matchless life-coach and a go-to person for any advice on any topic from a complex bid issue to the right outfit combination for a party! A dedicated Team Leader who knows when to work hard and when to work smart. Priceless asset to any organization, and above all..a good human being.
Hamza Lokhandwala
Try, fail, learn and upgrade, is what I've learnt from Prem. I met him through a common friend during the college days and we also worked together in a client-provider relationship. He was the POC for Vtech solutions when my company was delivering a mobile app solution for them. I can confidently speak for his professionalism, team co-ordination, and an indepth know how of technology, I witnessed during our course of interaction. His persistent efforts and problem solving approach is second to none. I'd really look forward to working with him, anyday, should the need arise.
