I only worked with Karthik for a short stint at EMIS Health while he spent time in the UK at our offices. In this short time I did realise that he was extremely polite and technically competent individual, who quickly grasped the technical and business concepts of the project I introduced him to. I’m sure he would be a credit to any organisation.
