Quotes from Industry
“Dear Clare I just wanted to send you an email to let you know of the tremendous job that Saral Kochar has done for us as a Production Intern. Recently, Saral was in a situation where he was the only AE representative in a meeting with overseas vendors. Saral successfully negotiated for the company to pay AE $150,000 due to a production error on their end. Saral was recently honored in front of the entire company for his efforts.”
