Testimonials

Saumitra created stunning presentations for my projects on several occasions. His ideas were always fresh and his approach, extremely creative. This is one guy who knows how to push the creative envelope and get the job done on time and within budget - even if it means working under stress. He is "can do" personified.

Amod Dange
Founder & CEO of AVATAR / ex-Facebook Product Design

Saumitra brings an interesting mix of skills to a team. His background in event management and the broadcast media industry have given him insights that are crucial to any project. In addition, his temperament and ability to deliver under pressure hold him good stead as part of any team.

Ritwik Dey
Head of Product Design @ Sanity.io

Saumitra has helped me over the years with marketing materials for my business. He is very much focused on providing a positive client experience. He has most recently assisted on creating a post card / brochure that I needed to distribute at a street fair. From idea generation to delivery, he provided a very streamlined efficient process. I highly recommend Saumitra for all of your marketing needs.

Neelu Kaur
Author / Facilitator / NLP & Executive Coach Wellness & Burnout Mngt Expert

Anyone, who has seen his work, would vouch for Saumitra's creative / designing skills. But what strikes one the most is his dedication and strive for betterment. Moreover, in our world of ridiculous-deadlines, irrational-client-demands, constant budget-cuts and changes in the briefs, I have not heard of Saumitra letting anyone down (not delivering or supporting) ever.

Rupali Bajpai
Content Writing / Events

Saumitra is an enthusiastic, hard worker always ready to do more. He is very capable and responsible and I am confident that he would succeed in his future work.

Shira Lubarr Ackerman
