Vipul is Gem. he has that rare ability to understand the technical nuances, touch base with the client to bring the requirements to the team, or even sit with the team and code when it’s required because someone in the team requires a break are just examples of his management skills and technical capabilities. I remember the time when we were under immense pressure to get the delivery out and how beautifully he managed the team and allowed leads to bringing ideas to the table without affecting the people working down below. Everyone in the team was switching the roles frequently because someone at the top is willing to switch his, that’s the culture and environment of trust we were in while working with him. Be real, Walk the talk, team integrity, relentless energy to get the word out to everyone - this is the primary characteristic that defines Vipul. I wish him all the very best and If you want someone to own the process, and make sure everything works flawlessly, then you can ALWAYS count on Vipul.
