Colleagues describe him as "I have known Abhinav for several years now and I rate him as one of the top leaders when it comes in International Business expansion, Technology Ecosystem development, business networking, and cross-border innovation especially in India, Canada, and Ireland. I found his management style extremely accessible and he is a very hands-on business leader. He is one of the most well-networked persons globally, especially in India and Canada. People genuinely like him and respect him for his knowledge and experience. He understands Fintech, RegTech and Digital innovations ecosystem really well in Canada, India, and Ireland. He is the reason behind my business setup in Canada. All 3 of my companies are now headquartered in Canada and Abhinav played an extremely important role in not only helping us setup my companies in Canada but also in business connections and partnerships. At one point, we were looking for a new innovative technology for our platform, and again Abhinav helped in getting us connected to the right people and source the technology. During his tenure with Canadian Consulate in India, he was responsible for several programs between Canadian and Indian Ecosystems and I was part of several of the programs. Several Indian and Canadian entrepreneurs, startups, investors and MNCs were able to leverage Canadian and Indian Ecosystems with Abhinav’s help. Abhinav is fearless in his business approach and his instincts are impeccable. He is one of the more proactive and driven business professionals I have ever seen. His people management and leadership skills are excellent. I don’t think anyone knows the Canadian ecosystem more than he does and he knows people /experts in the ecosystem personally. There are very few people who know how to set-up ideal cross-border Technology, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem and Abhinav was able to set that up for Canada –India. I wish him the best of luck for all the future initiatives and hope to work with him more often." and "I met Abhinav when he was working with Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), Government of Canada. He has a thorough knowledge of the Canadian industry and is extremely well connected with Canadian companies and the innovation ecosystem. He helped facilitate cross border partnerships for Communitech, Waterloo which proved to be a great success for our portfolio companies. An excellent leader, Abhinav is quick on his feet and a great networker. He is process oriented, hardworking and entrepreneurial. He is truly an asset for any organization and I hope to work with him in future again."
