Anirudh Nair

Sivakumar is one of the wisest and nicest persons I've had the pleasure to work with. His ability to see a product through its details and make well informed decisions for its long term development, an eye for delightful design and communicating with clarity is quite commendable. Siv has consistently made efforts to understand different stakeholders' POV and has always been a great teacher whenever help was required, which makes him a really valuable colleague/manager/friend. His energy and vision are unparalleled. My time at Tasker was a great learning experience and quite fun, courtesy of Siv. I wish him the very best for all his future endeavors and look forward to working with him again!

Mr Siv, who I know can be described as a Business Development Engine who has the guts to navigate and negotiate through the rough seas of competition and win deals and connections. An amiable personality who has mastered the art of team management. A manager, anyone would love to have for his corecompetencies.
