CEO, Sulochana Mills

We've worked on many projects together with Pranav at Sulochana, and he's a true asset to any team. He's a team player, but think on his feet and never settles for a no. His ambition and passion for what he does is uncanny, and it's been a pleasure to see his progress and grow more confident in his professional role over time. I thoroughly recommend him for any leadership or project management roles.
