I had the privilege of working closely with Sarat during our time together at Qualphone and later at Qualcomm, Bangalore. Sarat consistently displayed outstanding expertise in designing and implementing software solutions from the ground up. His pivotal contributions during the merger of Qualphone into Qualcomm, particularly in the IMS stack, were instrumental to its success. As the owner of the Call Manager module-an essential part of the IMS subsystem-Sarat's strong software fundamentals and collaborative nature were key drivers of the project's success.What truly sets Sarat apart is his ability to effortlessly work across cross-functional teams, take full ownership of complex projects, and lead them to success with a calm and composed demeanor. His ability to mentor others and guide teams through challenging scenarios is remarkable.

Sarat's adaptability is another standout trait. He seamlessly transitioned from a smaller company like Qualphone to the larger Qualcomm ecosystem, delivering high-impact features and exceeding expectations along the way. His composed leadership style, combined with his mentorship skills, makes him an outstanding manager who consistently brings out the best in his team.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sarat for any role requiring a blend of technical and managerial expertise. He is a reliable, results-driven professional who will undoubtedly be an invaluable asset to any team.
