Testimonials from the Field

Akshita is wonderful to work with, and has exceptional expertise in gathering and transforming requirements into actionalble items for the teams within a very short time, while respecting time and urgency she turned around with her timely and effective deliverables.

I have worked with Akshita for two years and her contribution was remarkable for the team and project. I wish her a bright future!

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Akshita. I had the pleasure of working with Akshita for a year at Deloitte USI, collaborating on a major UK Insurance firm.

Akshita’s ability to juggle multiple Functional Entities was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. She picked up the functional knowledge unlike anyone at her level. Consequently, she was the go-to functional person on our team.

For her hard and smart work, Akshita deserves the highest recommendation.
