I had the pleasure of working with Professor Srikanth Desikachar through a Riipen collaboration where a group of his students partnered with me to help expand digital engagement and create a strategic marketing plan for my company. From the start, he was professional, supportive, and incredibly communicative. He made sure expectations were clearly set at the beginning of the project and remained consistently available throughout the semester to check in and ensure everything was on track. His students delivered thoughtful, high quality work, and it was clear their professionalism and dedication reflected his leadership.
