Bio
Rashi Bahadur
Sreeja is a very dedicated person with a focused mind. Her strength is her equanimity in tense situations combined with an ability to think beyond. She has been very focused on Education based projects/work, which she has finally been able to lay her hands on.. and I am sure she will be an asset to the endeavour and the team- she has garnered knowledge, guidance from experts, can apply her experience and education... and what makes this combination even more lethal is her passion in this field.

I did my internship with Cypress with Sreeja as my mentor. I successfully did the market analysis for one of the products of Cypress under her able guidance. Her vast experience and expertise in the field of strategy & marketing helped me understand the various aspects of doing market analysis and consulting. Working with Sreeja was a great learning experience as she shared her valuable insights with me from time to time. She provided me the right blend of freedom and support during my internship. She is enterprising and handles the pressure well. She is very good at multitasking which was quite evident from the fact when she was handling many projects simultaneously. She is entrepreneurial by nature and she instilled the same spirit in me. Altogether working with Sreeja was an enriching experience.
