Dhruv is a great team player. He has got strong managerial skills but also has great aptitude for technology and engineering aspects.

His skill sets can suit a large corporate group as well as VC and startup environment. It's been a pleasure working with Dhruv.

Druv was one of my most active students in my "Entrepreneurial Finance" class at IE Business School in 2011. He struck me as competent, intelligent, motivated and highly enjoyable, with strong social skills.

I had the pleasure to teach Dhruv during his MBA studies. He attended two of my courses: “Fundamentals of Marketing” and “Services Marketing and Customer Strategy”. Dhruv was an excellent student: smart, hardworking, with excellent attitude and and a great team worker. He clearly enjoyed the subject and had deep knowledge of marketing strategies and practices. I recommend him without reservations.

His honesty and integrity surpass the expectations I have when looking for a business manager, patient, extremely detail oriented and always full of ideas - I fully enjoyed working with him and strongly recommend him moving forward. He will be an asset wherever she goes.”

I worked with Dhruv when I was a postdoc at Northwestern. Dhruv is a warm human being who was always ready to help someone out when the need was there. He showed an interest in a wide range of topics and displayed a willingness to delve into the subject matter to gain a better understanding of the topic. He worked long hours to complete his experiments succesfully. I enjoyed working with Dhruv, especially our scientific discussion that, I think, expanded both our horizons.

In his role at PepsiCo, Dhruv was proficient in managing multi-category requirements very efficiently. He keeps a broad perspective & has an eye-for-detail,at the same time. High quality soft skills.

I worked with Dhruv for a few years at Oregon Medical Laser Center. Within that short timeframe, he established himself as an extremely bright and detailed-oriented individual. He is keenly inquisitive in his research and methodical with his approach, making him a natural scientist.

What I enjoyed most while working with Dhruv was his camaraderie and enthusiasm. He is dependable and an encouragement to those around him. He works seamlessly and effectively as an individual contributor, yet fully embraces the value of teamwork.

I know that Dhruv has grown and matured throughout the years through his continued education. He possesses tremendous potential to go far in his career, being able to draw from his deep interpersonal skills and wide breadth of knowledge and know-how. I have no reservations in giving Dhruv my full recommendation to any institution/person. He will be a wonderful addition and valuable asset to any team he joins.

I have known Dhruv since early 2000. Dhruv and I evaluated the business opportunities in India together and possibilities to build Indian-Finnish collaboration. Dhruv was innovative partner and also very trustworthy person to work with. Our collaboration continues even after changing positions and jobs.
