Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Srujan for several years, as peers. We were both senior engineers, and sometimes we worked together on projects. Eventually Srujan moved into the Engineering manager role and I ended up working for him. Srujan grew into the role quite well. He understood how to balance the needs of stakeholders with the needs of the engineers that report to him. Setting real expectations, and communicating it out to the stakeholders, and expecting engineers to uphold those expecations. He understands the short term gains vs long term sustainability, when considering hours of work versus need to execute quickly. I recommend that Srujan would be a good addition to any organization requiring good engineering managers.", "When you are in a pre IPO company, there are usually a lot of things you have to do, from executing on revenue growth projects to ensuring stable infrastructure. Srujan was a team lead the Surveymonkey Teams offering. I entrusted him with the responsibility of managing the project end to end, from development to cross functional communication and he executed on this flawlessly. As Srujan transitioned to an engineering manager, he made sure his team was equipped with the right talent and capability to perform well. Srujan manages to be calm under pressure, and imbues his team with a sense of practical urgency and pragmatic decision making.", and "As Srujan's product management counterpart at Momentive, I had the privilege of partnering with him closely on several high impact initiatives that drove several million dollars in incremental annual revenue. Because of Srujan's strong engineering leadership, these initiatives were delivered not only on time but exceeded initial revenue expectations. Srujan's careful planning and a "measure twice, cut once" approach ensured we never experienced negative customer impacts from large-scale data migration efforts. In additional to his strong technical chops, Srujan is also an outstanding people leader who mentors and develops his team to their fullest potential. But even more important than all of the above, Srujan is a genuinely warm and fun person to work with. I truly hope I am lucky enough to have our paths cross again!"
