Testimonials

I have known Gaurav Kapoor for the past four years. In my interactions, I found him to be attentive to detail. Not only in understanding what I as a journalist was seeking by way of information, but also in framing the same from an industry perspective. This is a rare quality, which is not easily on display in the corporate communications fraternity. And definitely not among the relatively younger crop of professionals. At a time when the corporate communications industry is expected to work closely with the top managements of corporations to understand their strategic needs, I think Gaurav Kapoor can play a critical role.
