I found Nikunj the sort I could leave alone at a client, he would establish an excellent rapport with the client and make the client very happy on the basis of solid deliverables. Always followed through and got the job done, raised the right issues, met timelines and most importantly, owned his work. Another observation is that Nikunj could handle two to three high pressure assignments simultaneously without compromising on or the other. All in all a very handy and complete consulting resource.

On top of that, Nikunj brings a lot of ownership, commitment and strong work ethic to deliver client outcomes. An asset for any team he works with!

We recently hosted a workshop on "Design Thinking & Skills of the Future" for our students, with Nikunj. He came over to Kochi to conduct this workshop, discussed career skills and introduced Design Thinking, blending theory with real-world examples. Participants engaged in practical exercises, including addressing a case study of waste disposal in Kochi. Overall, Nikunj delivered an outstanding session and the students thoroughly appreciated the same. His clarity of thought and excellent communication skills ensured that students across the spectrum (in terms of understanding of the underlying concepts) could gather important take-aways, through his simplified and cogent reasoning.
