Ashish is that rare combination of a consummate professional who is excellent at his work and a good person who brings integrity and warmth to all they do. Having worked with him for close to 15 years, what has always stood out is his ability to see the big picture and think out of the box when it comes to structuring and the big issues, while at the same time having his eye on the detail and ensuring that each aspect of the project has been thought through and looked at. Always a pleasure working with him.
