Bio
Tushar Patel
Punit is team player and is cordial to all the members of his team. His ability to look at larger picture while working is noteworthy. Outside work, he is a good friend.
Martin Scherfler
"Fast Learner" is the word that comes to my mind when I think about Punit. He worked for Auroville Consulting for 3 months, during which he worked with me for one project. With all the technical knowledge he possessed as an engineer, I had my doubts while giving a policy and market analysis project to him. But, to my surprise, he was able integrate and connect the dots really fast, which led to timely finish of the project. I also liked his work style of doing a thorough background research and understanding the problem before starting the project, which made him sure what he was talking about during the discussion sessions. I feel, Punit will be an asset to any team he joins in future.
