Philip Currie
I had the pleasure of working together with Sandeep when he was tasked to head up our dedicated accessories team in the IR channel. He already had an excellent reputation and he lived up to it. Despite a challenging market Sandeep motivated the team and they managed to deliver solid numbers and grow Axiom's market share. In addition to this, Sandeep has excellent business acumen and sound commercial sense. He introduced some very successful initiatives and also provided me with excellent counsel and market insights, which helped to define the strategy and pave the way for future success. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandeep to any sales/distribution organisation who wants an experienced, hands-on manager who leads by example, understands the IR market and knows how to motivate the team to achieve the numbers.

A high adventure enthusiast, who keeps the same passion in his work life as well. Its really inspiring they way he conceives ideas and makes the team believe in it and chase the same. I have seen his predictions on his work insights hitting the bulls eye. I can bet anyone, on his success in what ever assignment he takes. Go to him for any assitance, rest assured he will be there in the forefront for you and more over a wonderful human being I've ever met.
