        Ajit's background and experience affords him the insight and vision to tackle big picture challenges.  He clearly understands the needs of business partners outside a typical IT organization.  He was able to assess complex corporate information infrastructure and competing business priorities and recommend short-term and long-term solutions.  He continues to keep himself abreast with the latest technology development.  Ajit is poised and collaborative.  He has an outgoing pleasant personality. I was happy to have him on the team and would love to work with him again.   Arati Deo, PMP
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I have worked with Ajit as a peer and also when he was leading a key project that I was a part of. His grasp of anything around Finance and Accounting is exemplary. He was always the go to person for any Oracle ERP issues. He is an excellent guide to the team and never shies away from helping out his team members even when he is super busy. He was always a Star performer at Stryker. He took up some very difficult projects at Stryker and completed them successfully on time and on budget. His focus on any task is unparalleled. He is a big asset to any company he works for.
