Bio
Sourabh Chitranshi
I had the pleasure of working with Siva for seven years collaborating on several modules. Working with Siva has always been a pleasant experience. Not only his knowledge is excellent on the subject, he is also a kind and helpful person. He is always open to learning new things. He’s the perfect example of how one should carry on a leadership position and how to grow and nurture the people around him. His calm and patient attitude during stressful situations is also very commendable. He will add true value to the organization he joins.

Siva is an excellent person I have worked with. He knows in and out of what he does and he was the best amongst all of them. He makes sure that everyone is on the same page and focused on the main goal. Siva leads by example where he gives 200 % for his task and his dedication and enthusiasm cannot match, in which he is an inspiring and motivating individual I have met in my career.
