Testimonials

I collaborated with KK over many years at ACD/Labs. He is a good colleague, knows his customers well and strives to be successful. He always looks for business development opportunities, has that rare quality of “thinking out of the box”, and is an excellent mentor for colleagues and his team.

Because of his knowledge of both western and Asian business practices, KK has a demonstrable ability to bring western products and services into untapped Asian/Pacific markets. When ACD/Labs was looking to expand its enterprise business into the Asia/Pacific markets, KK was valuable to help me understand company heirarchies and business pain points and their effect on value propositions from a cultural viewpoint that was often very different from that to which I was accustomed.

Furthermore, KK was an excellent liason between his customers and my product development group. He was very good at identifying business opportunities where slight modifications to existing product lines would enable us to secure significant deals. Also, I really appreciated the way KK struck an ideal balance between being an advocate for ACD/Labs and his customers. KK will be a great asset to anyone looking to expand into Asian/Pacific markets.

I have known KK for more than 6 years now and it has always been a pleasure interacting with him. During my interaction with KK, I found him an analytical thinker, applying his IT skills to address common problems and requirements of scientist. KK brings with him international exposure and a lot of scientific understanding of the subject that helps him to understand pharmaceutical R & D requirements and challenges scientist are confronting. KK always exhibited a very high degree of professionalism in his approach and showed a keen interest in learning and understanding customer’s requirements. I have found him proposing workable solutions which were always acceptable by our team. KK possess solid leadership skills and leads with an example. He is very customer oriented and provides prompt and world-class support to the clients. His knowledge, desire to learn and the ability to lead, hard-work and customer-orientation will make him a success in any assignment. He will prove to be an invaluable asset for any organization and I wish him success in his future endeavors.
