It has been an absolute pleasure to have a mentor like Akash sir. He has been so kind, generous, and approachable for anything ranging from career decisions to personal finance. He doesn’t tell you what to do rather helps you think, provides structure to your thought process, and works “with” you to come to a logical solution to a problem. His ability to relate to one’s problems/dilemmas and think in a concise and structured manner makes him an excellent mentor for young professionals, like us. When I finally became a lucky mentee, I was able to speak with Akash sir more closely and I have so much respect for his experience and have personally learned and continue to learn a lot from him. He has taught me how to bring discipline and accountability in life to achieve my goals. He has the “big picture” that is greatly needed in mentoring in today’s world.
