    Vijay is a skilled strategy consultant with extensive experience of working in the financial sector. He has exposure of working across multiple geographies including countries in South Asia, South East Asia and Africa. His ability to quickly gel in with people from across cultures has been a asset for the team. Vijay's USP lies in breaking down complex problems into simpler ones thereby making it easier for the team to address any difficult issues. Over the past decade, he has been able to develop strong relationships with clients through his hard work and commitment. Vijay would be an excellent addition to any consulting team because he is comfortable in dealing with ambiguity. He also provides very good mentorship to his team members.
