Bio
Vandana Dhingra
I worked with Varun in the same project as my lead for a shorter time and he is highly encouraging , supportive and of-course an effective leader. He is an ideal for a role in service delivery. In addition, he is exceptional in driving the production issues and doing root cause analysis. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours!

I had worked with Varun in Singapore when he joined there as a transition manager, people say or its a great philosophy mis-interpreted that "first impression is the best impression", that philosophy is wrong which I came to know and corrected myself after meeting Varun. For initial few days I saw him sitting idle in his seat and asked my colleague "what is he doing?", but actually he was not sitting idle instead was going through all available documentations line by line without asking any questions to any one and after 2-3 weeks he started smashing with his solid Data Centre Technology Background.. I wish him great success in his career and he deserves success being a true professional with solid technical strength and managerial capabilities..😀
