Within moments of interaction, I could make out why I was in the training business and he was in the business of training! In between this play of words lies the fact that Murali has always focused on the big picture while demonstrating deep domain expertise and clarity during execution. Who wouldn’t like to work for a leader like that?! His ability to stay focused on flawless execution backed by his adaptive leadership style makes you feel fully empowered. This has not only resulted in creating an impact on businesses that he has managed, but his influence is visible on every leader that has worked with him. I am glad that I was one of them. I have also experienced, first-hand, Murali’s ability to coach and mentor. His perspectives on individual growth and his perspectives on business situations shaped by his vast experience have been very valuable to me. Undoubtedly one of the finest leaders I have had the privilege to work with."" and "I have known Murali for over 20 years and have worked closely with him on various assignments at NIS Sparta and then at Future Learning. He has been a great influence in shaping my thinking over the years and has been a great leader, mentor and guide by always providing space for me to develop and grow professionally. Murali because of his unique ability to see and keep focused on the big picture, could bring in fresh perspectives and valuable insights to go to market strategies and work-related issues, which would enable smoother and effective implementation. Murali’s understanding of Strategy, Sales, Leadership and People domain is amongst the best that I have come across till date. He has always been approachable and as a leader, he is a great people person and continues to remain a great friend, which I value a lot. "
