"Surya is one in a million. While i was assembling my avengers this guy was my Tony Stark! Sure, he's a talented designer who's an absolute ninja on the tool but what I loved the most about Surya was his empathy and thoughtfulness towards his colleagues. He was able to see potential and guide it. These qualities i think, will make him an exceptional leader one day. Looking forward to seeing you there buddy. All the best!"

"I've collaborated with Surya on multiple projects and can wholeheartedly vouch for his exceptional abilities. Not only is he a swift learner, but he also has the innate capacity to push himself to exceed expectations. His superior communication aptitude and genuine charm make him an invaluable team member. Beyond our professional endeavors, our partnership didn't just stop at work, but blossomed into a cherished friendship. Given Surya's proficiency in visual tasks and his ability to adapt on-the-go, any organization would indeed be fortunate to have him. Without any reservations, I wholeheartedly recommend Surya for any professional roles he aspires to."(Talk to him, you'll know what I'm talking about)
