        I have know Aakanchcha for several years professional ly and personally; and can say she is one of the most time efficient person I know and very good at her work. She has always surprised me with her knowledge, positive attitude and sense of humour. I remember my association with her fondly and wish  the best always.

        Aakanchcha has been known to me due to her association with PIAR for about 1.5 years. As a Faculty colleague, I always found her to be enthusiastic, confident, thorough, organized and structured with her content whenever she stepped into the studios. She was humble and frank enough to ask any of the colleagues, about her queries, or doubts, whenever required. As a teacher, she always kept learning from her peers, which is one of the most important virtues of a teacher. I wish her good luck with all her future endeavors.
