It has been a great experience working with Ram as my coach. I came in to the coaching process with quite some fuzziness but a solid structure, pedagogical approach and clear communication helped me a great deal in providing simplicity and clarity. There was a clear red thread along the coaching journey in terms of frameworks, tools and exercises. At the same time it was quite engaging and fun to have the one-one discussions which I always looked forward to. From a hazy outlook to begin with I now have a few concrete actionable steps to work with to become a better version of myself, thanks to Ram. read more

Ram was a key member of my executive leadership team in Verizon India (2008-2012). I looked at him not just for financial management – he was my CFO – but for also for general guidance and strategy. As a team, we turned around a company of about 4,500 employees which was facing an uncertain future. Within 18 months, the company stabilized and eventually grew to be 6,700 employees strong, and became one of Verizon’s most valuable knowledge assets. Ram’s role in this turnaround was critical.
Aside his role as CFO, Ram led Governance, Risk Management and Compliance. I found Ram to be a seasoned leader with high integrity, strong domain expertise and an ability to work in a global environment and communicate effectively to influence key stakeholders to get to the desired outcomes. I am confident anyone who engages Ram as a coach will benefit enormously from his rich experience and affable style of working. read more
