What other people say about me!

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Sankalpa. He is a quick learner and leads his team by example. As a product guy it’s important that you work on designing futuristic yet simple to use products. Online payments in India being a highly commoditized market it’s always difficult to think on the lines of further simplifying a thing which is already so simple. That’s what I liked about Sanakalpa; Always challenging himself and his team. A great team leader who always gives more than 200% to his employer while being a client centric person too. I wish I wish I could hire him back.

Siddharth Dhamija

CEO & CGO

Sankalpa is a natural leader who can motivate and influence a cross-functional, distributed team to deliver great results. He is also very clinical in ensuring product quality. He is an effective decision maker who balances risks and benefits for the overall good of the company. He has a strong customer focus and very hands-on with the market pulse. He is very approachable, a great problem solver and always engineers innovative solutions to a given problem. I strongly feel that Sankalpa would be a great asset to any organization he works for.

Tanmoy Das

Enterprise Agile Coach

Hands down, one of the most down-to-earth, inquisitive, and calm people I have ever come across. Not only is Sankalpa a good listener, but he also makes sure to add his twist to your learnings and implement them in the best possible manner. He is a go-getter and perfectly balances his tech, soft, and humour skills. I have full faith he will rock any task he picks up or wishes to guide someone. The reason- he is the right blend of independence and team player. Make sure to connect with him, or else you will miss out on a great person. I wish him all the best in his endeavors!
