7 people have recommended Rohil

"Rohil is an articulative, well groomed HR professional with strong knowledge of business. Apart
from generic qualities like subject knowledge, project management etc., his main asset is
relationship management. In his role as AVP HR, he had strong relationships with functional heads
(not because of the position he holds but coz of the person he is). This helped HR to be on the
fore-front of any business strategy, thereby entailing a smooth organisation. Though being an HR
professional, we both quizzed each other on various macro-economic/global business talks which
was great fun. As a person, he is a very optimistic person, a great motivator and someone with
whom I would like to work with again in future."
