I had the pleasure of working with Ravi during my tenure at ChannelLive.tv. Ravi was technically solid, brought a semblance of orderliness to the generally chaotic startup environment, and his methodologies were thorough. Ravi placed high importance on Strategy, and had a futuristic approach.

Thayne Martin

I had the pleasure of working with Ravi Adatrao for a number of years. He is a very gifted visionary capable of seeing things that others do not. Ravi has great energy and inspires those around him to follow him. He is a great coach and a pleasure to work with! He is the type of leader that leads by example which truly inspires others to want to follow him. Ravi is a greate strategist asking the right questions that force you to think of things that perhaps you hadn't thought of. Lastly, Ravi sets a high bar in terms of worth ethic and desire to succeed! Ravi is top notch!

Satyen Barve

Ravi is a consummate leader with passion and drive for success. As the CEO, he built the team in a very short time and provided the vision, direction and executive support. Ravi also has exceptional marketing talents. His expertise in the area enabled the Company to win early successes in a crowded market of software suppliers in the auto-shipping industry. He is also very creative and intelligent. I always admired his decisiveness in honing in on an actionable strategy and staying the course in face of the myriad adversities. It is a pleasure to have worked with Ravi!
