What Colleagues Say
Recommendations from people I've worked with
I worked with Anubhav for more than a year and at each stage of our cooperation I was noticing an absolute professionalism. The way he was dealing with his team, with all the colleagues. The way he was giving feedback. The way he motivated the team. We conducted a lot of interviews for forming his team and everything was so structured from his side. Clear and inspiring. Anubhav is the person you can always rely on. Very responsible and always "hands on". Asked feedback from his team as well: great mentor and best manager. Hope to cooperate in future again!
Head of Talent, Growe
"Mr Dependable" would be the best brief summary for Anubhav. Despite the innumerable challenges which a start up brand would usually face across its various lifecycle stages, specially dealing with people and environment from different work cultures and languages, Anubhav could sail thru them … unfazed. He not only is a guru wrt to his digital knowledge and strategies but also a 'Guru'/mentor to his subordinates, guiding and mentoring them thru.
Chief Marketing Officer, Confidential (Start Up in Stealth Mode)
Having worked with Anubhav, it's easy to say he comes with a lot of experience, knowledge and great ethics. Unparalleled understanding of the market, adaptability and quick response makes it a pleasure to work and to be associated with.
Co-Founder, Norse Aviation
I have known Anubhav for a long time now. To my mind, consistent perseverance, high standards of professionalism & work ethics, and receptiveness to absorb, adapt and learn newer aspects in his work area stand out as his chief qualities. To add to it, he is very focused & result oriented. Undoubtedly, he is and will be an asset to any team that he associates himself with. I wish him all the very best in his current & future endeavors. Best!

When Anubhav gets his hand on a problem, you end up feeling sorry for the problem. He is tenacious, intelligent & hugely passionate. He brings a contagious "can-do" attitude, that can get any team on their feet and working at full capacity. He is a fantastic professional & incredible person. I highly recommend him.
Associate Director, PwC India
Anubhav is an amazing professional, who brings all the skills a digital marketer should have. Because he has many years of experience in digital, he knows a variety of creative methods to scale a product, and he ensures you learn what you need to. His calming personality makes you feel completely comfortable, even when you're making mistakes. He is always encouraging and positive. I was lucky to report to Anubhav, a manager who's not only interested in the company's bottom line, but also in his teams' professional growth.
