Dr. Upadhyay ranks among the top Senior International Officers with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working. He is innovative, responsive, collaborative and forward-thinking. I can barely keep up with the number of international collaborations on which he invites me to partner. He is student-centered, and he works with the kind of integrity and cultural humility necessary in our global work. I learn from and with him in every project, and I am fortunate to know him as a colleague and friend.

Satyendra Kumar is a passionate, dedicated educator with a gift for cross-cultural relationship building. During my time as an English Language Fellow at Somaiya Vidyavihar University, Satyendra welcomed me into the K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management and introduced me to everyone that I could collaborate with professionally. He didn't just focus on my professional experience though, he ensured that I had a rich cultural experience as well. I was always impressed by the variety of people he knew, and the connections he was able to make between others. In addition to his intercultural interpersonal skills, he is a forward thinker always looking for ways to innovate and collaborate. While working with Satyendra, he cared deeply about news ways to raise the standing of our institution while giving students opportunities they may not normally receive. It's a shame that my time working with Satyendra was cut short due to COVID-19. It was truly a pleasure of mine to work with him.
