Gaurav was my first management consultant recruit from MBA campuses at Nihilent. Has an excellent focus towards detail of every aspect of problem solving. He is restless till he finds answers and solutions and never gives up. We can tell him 'what needs to be achieved' and he will figure out HOW and WHY. He is a great asset for any problem solving company and extremely dependable.

I had the pleasure of working with Gaurav on a business case and was particularly impressed by his problem solving ability, structured thinking and eloquence. He uses a unique blend of analysis skills and critically important soft skills to create clarity. His work is highly organized and he is a great verbal and written communicator.

I appreciate his kindness, willingness to share his own experiences and wisdom while listening closely . Beyond that, as a mentor he has always tried to help me become a better version of myself rather than trying to mold me to his perspective. His constant support has been invaluable.
