Ujwal and I worked together in John Deere, start back in 2010. It was a small, selected, international group of professionals that was formed to develop the business. From the beginning, Ujwal stood out. His limitless curiosity, original thinking, and endless dedication were all great assets in business development. Ujwal is a results-oriented professional, openly speaking, uncompromising, and honest. On top of all that he is a great agronomist that can notice the smallest details while maintaining the context of the big picture. It was a unique experience to work with him.

Ujwal is a smart and energetic agronomy professional, with good knowledge of the Irrigation business. During the few years we worked together, and found that he is an extremely diligent, knowledgeable guy who knows his customers and markets well. I enjoyed working with him and would have no hesitation in endorsing his abilities.
