Raman was a great team member and it was a pleasure working with him. He always had the details available for the requests made and was on top of his action items. It has been a wonderful time working with him and wish him all the best for his future.

I have worked with Raman for many years. Raman is an extremely hard-working and dedicated individual. One of the best qualities in Raman is his ability to think out of the box and articulate his ideas visually and in a simple fashion. His presentation skills are one of his key strengths. He has great listening skills and a fantastic team player.
