Bio
Harriett Wall
Ridiculously efficient, organised and thorough are a few words that come to mind when I think about Sugith. I have had the pleasure of working with Sugith throughout his time with Arora Group and collaborating on several projects. I was always in awe of Sugith ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas as well as demonstrate the peaceful swan gliding into any situation whilst remaining professional, efficient but most of all the smile never disappears! I would highly recommend Sugith and he would be a huge credit to any team.
