Venkat Bhargav Sreedhara
Venkat Bhargav Sreedhara far exceeded our expectations and became an integral member of the team in his 2-month internship with us. His excellent analytical and communication skills helped the team to undertake reviews of knowledge projects of ADB. His pleasant personality and "can-do" attitude enabled us to assign him tasks that went beyond his original scope of work. We wish him the very best for his future endeavors.
