Colleagues describe them as "I first met Tarunava when he was working in a Architecture role for a client I was working for. My first impressions of him was that he was a strong individual with magnitudes of self confidence and unquestionable leadership attributes. Tarunava is very innovative, sincere and dedicated towards his work. His ability to learn new technologies and technical aspects of new products is amazing. He can make the right decision at the right moment and has an excellent capability to make the best design for any solution." and "Tarunava joined Bell Labs Consulting just when I left as its managing partner in 2017 to take on a different role. Yet, we collaborated often on select high-stakes R&D projects where I was an advisor. These projects involved modeling the uncertain economics of emerging technologies and their as-yet-unproven solution architectures. Tarunava stood out as the most resourceful team member with insights and connections to gather relevant data on existing products and deployments. Those inputs from him helped make these studies sound, keeping the projections grounded instead of becoming flights of fancy.
Tarunava is relentless in his pursuits and passionate in his execution. He never gives up despite mounting challenges when the job demands it. He dedicates himself to his team’s success and goes above and beyond the call of duty. During the pandemic, when he and his family were fighting covid, he strove to deliver on urgent projects and won plaudits for his invaluable contributions.
In consulting, we calibrate one’s potential from what one chooses to work on when no formal work assignment exists. In between projects, Tarunava invested his time in learning new technologies (e.g., open source foundations for cloud-native telecom infrastructure). He conceptualized and built a geospatial edge cloud provisioning tool on his own initiative. Later, he collaborated with other team members to develop this into an asset that found use in delivering on paid projects.
Every manager and leader needs a star that shines light where the trouble is brewing. Tarunava is one such star. He will tell things as he sees them. Any manager, team, and organization will be lucky to have Tarunava on their side."
