Shreeja Sharma

Vani has always been calm, organised, and goal-oriented. She is solution-driven, a great problem solver and performs well even under stressful situations. From the get-go, her enthusiasm for work radiated across the office. Being a very hands-on team, Vani helped integrate research and development in a continuous effort to improve function and stay up to date with industry trends. Several onboarded students benefited from her academic focus and mentorship. Additionally, she possesses the ability to think out of the box yet do things based on facts and figures. She is a quick learner and well-read in all domains. A young woman of substance, she excels in everything that she sets her mind onto.
