I knew him since 2011 and I always found himself dedicated to deliver the best through the maximum efforts he can. He is quite enthusiast in learning updates of his own (environment) and other domains like social development and resettlement. He is a good team player and 99% easiest to work. The remaining 1% is the time in which he is hungry and the food is unavailable in a particular situation ( :p ......... on a lighter note). He is really enjoyable to work within an office environment but within the umbrella of professionalism. As far as I know he does not like hypocracy and dual standards up to an extent at where even he does not like diplomatic moves. One of the very particular instinct he has is that he can work standalone on various domains of a particular project without or with little input of the other experts. This makes him self sufficient and independent worker. I wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
