Baxi is a qualified accountant and not a lawyer..
Bored.
Daksha, your invaluable experience, wisdom and grace shall be missed by the KCO team!
Pooja, I'll miss your excellent business acumen and sharp negotiation skills and also your sense of humour! :)
All the best guys
Btw, I didn't know that Daksha is your mum! Wishing her the best too! I might need her advice on a couple of matters..
Bombay head: Cyril - male
South head: Arjun male
Pray what are you rolling?! Bum Bum bhole.
Mumbai - VCS
Bangalore - Reeba
Stop smoking and have a coffee.
Daksha's reputation precedes her. Definitely a solid hire by CAM.
