Having worked Prasanna for over seven years (directly reporting to him), I can confidently attest to his diligent work ethic and remarkable problem-solving skills. His capacity to address complex issues, work collaboratively with various teams, and complete projects within deadlines has truly impressed me. Such abilities typically require extensive experience to hone, but Prasanna appeared to possess them naturally. He effortlessly adapts to any environment or business context. Nevertheless, what sets him apart is his eagerness to support others. I am honored to have worked with him and wholeheartedly recommend him to potential employers.

Had absolute pleasure working with Prasanna in Operations Team. He's very subject oriented and knows what he does. He's very approachable and helpful. We use to work on a X Backup Tool and due to client request, we moved to a new Y Backup Tool. It a very short period of time he learnt Y Backup Tool and had mastered it and gave the knowledge transfer and move the environment to production. He's fast learner and an amazing asset to any organization.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Prasanna Ashwath for little over 3 years during his tenure in Accenture. We both were part of Backup/storage/UNIX team and I had indirectly managed him. In that time, I have known Prasanna to be a quick learner and a great asset to the team. His analytical and problem solving skills has helped the team solve complex backup issues in the environment and always deliver projects on time. His knowledge and experience with backup tools is definitely an asset to any organization.
