“Ravi Kumar was part of the Technical Information (Tech Info) team at CA India. He is a quick learner, possessed with the ability to grasp complex concepts fairly fast. His creativity and strong communication capabilities reflect in his writing and presentations. Ravi has a good sense of humor and is a team player. It has been a pleasure working with him.”

TESTIMONIAL

Subramaniyan Venkataraman Vice President, Software Engineering , CA

“Mr. Ravi Kumar has shown a lot of energy and enthusiasm to learn new things, gel well with the team to know them better, reaching out to the right people at the right time for the success of the features we were working on. His ability to analyze changes as well as adapt as soon as some new inputs are available made sure that he could complete the Learning Experience part in time for the delivery of the product. He is a great team player, and always went beyond his call of duty to either express opinions on the designs that we were made or correlating with other features to drive home his point. His oral and written communications are excellent and could articulate his points so that they are understood clearly.

Overall he would rank in one of the top performers that I have worked with and would love to work with him again.”
