I am grateful to have met him very early in my career, and I cannot recommend him enough as a mentor to anyone whose starting on their journey.

Kaushik has been a great mentor. We got connected through the RMIT mentoring program in 2016.

He shared how he found a foothold and purpose in working in Australia, how being flexible and agile helps to go a long way. He also gave me some tips to improve my networking skills and helped me with further enhancing my resume. He is a great mentor and I am glad we had the opportunity to connect!

We completed the La Trobe University Accelerator Program. As part of this program we undertook coaching with Kaushik Sridhar. His coaching helped us to: - identify new pathways of approaching the market and other potential markets for our product, - identify strategies for potential customers to take notice of us, and - identify and focus on those activities and parts of the market likely to be most productive. We are now engaged with the largest emergency management and humanitarian organisations in the world including the United Nations, the International Federation of the Red Cross and the US Government. I believe the coaching from Kaushik materially contributed to the progress we are making today. I would recommend Kaushik as a coach to anyone, especially those that do not come from a business background.

Seeing Kaushik's enthusiasm and drive for sustainability and helping create change has also reinvigorated my desire to work on delivering sustainable outcomes to help build a better future. I would love to work with Kaushik one day and I highly recommend him to anyone who would love to be coached on everything sustainable!

My experience with Mr. Kaushik as my mentor has been very fruitful. We were connected through the RMIT industry mentoring program that lasted for three months. Our goal was personal branding. He helped me in understanding the work culture in Australia as i am an international student. The current trends in the industry were also discussed and he took time to help me improve my linked in profile and in developing my CV. He understood what i needed as a student and helped me in getting them done. On the whole I am really glad he was my first mentor in Australia, I would highly recommend any other student to take up the opportunity to connect with him and gain more insight!

My Co-founder and I were lucky enough to have Kaushik as our coach as part to the La Trobe Accelerator problem. During this time he helped us think strategically to solve our customers problem and identify their 'what's in it for me'.
