I was highly impressed with Avinash when he showcased many Automation Tools and implemented Ideas that he had worked on independently (over and above the official assigned projects) as part of an informal Software Club that I had created. Later on I got the opportunity to work with him closely for almost 2 years, on a common official project. Avinash is a go-getter, highly self-motivated and always eager to learn and implement newer technologies. He's also very enthusiastic when it comes to sharing his knowledge and mentoring the rest of the team members including freshers. He loves to take up challenging projects and lead the team. Along with Technical knowledge, he was also very eager to learn the domain (Supply Chain Management) and understood thoroughly the complete functionality and user requirements, features-to-come & Customer expectations. He is highly methodical and meticulous when it comes to processes and standards, documentation, deliverables. In short Avinash was the Best Team member I never had. I wish him all the Best for a wonderful future and thank him for all the things I got to learn from him.

Avinash's ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of our company. He always kept the team motivated and shared knowledge. I believe he is one of the best managers I ever had, as his people skills are highly developed. He most of times deals with the toughest clients effortlessly. As a team member or a leader, Avinash earns my highest recommendation.

I had the opportunity to work with Avinash in many projects at Flex. In that time, Avinash displayed professionalism, understanding of his role, and an innate ability to organize projects and teams. From a professionalism standpoint, Avinash is a project manager/scrum master that understands the needs of the organization both from a product value standpoint but also from a human and team viewpoint.
