“I co-led a major pricing and marketing initiative at a Fortune 100 corporation with Ani Patwardhan. The project was a resounding success across multiple lines of businesses. Ani is easy to work with and is able to corral teams around a common vision. By setting a clear roadmap to the end goal, setting a framework around the road map, creating a time-line with stretch deliverables, Ani brought the best out of associates through energizing them to a higher level of performance and won their loyalty and respect through subject matter expertise and being accessible at all times. He possesses outstanding intellect and draws actionable insights from data-based analytics. I strongly recommend him for pricing and strategic marketing work.”

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to confirm my strong recommendation of Ani Patwardhan and the skills that he is able to bring to an organization. I had the pleasure of working with Ani while I was President of a Division of a Fortune 200 Corporation. Ani was brought in to help us develop, implement and track pricing strategies within our worldwide business to improve our operating results.
Ani effectively used his past experience to drive our pricing teams to make large and small changes within our strategies that improved our net income very quickly. More specifically, within 3-6 months, we added 2 full percentage pts to our bottom line that we directly attributed to pricing changes initiated through Ani’s efforts.
Ani is a very hard working, driven, high energy, and highly motivated individual. He is personable and engaging in his approach. This overall mix allows Ani to quickly convert theory into plans and then into actions that our teams embraced and took ownership of – a key element in the success of any program.
I feel no hesitation in recommending Ani for any assignment where his skills are needed. I would use Ani’s expertise in the future if / when the need arises.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
Regards,
Charles"

Ani,
I wanted to follow-up on our meeting last week. We are very appreciative of the work you did. In particular, I am interested in the approach to leverage our brand/customers and to emphasize a product that is effective and gentile vs "green". As we proceed, we may seek your help directly on this project or possibly on other strategic initiatives to enhance profitable growth.
Thank you ... John"

“I worked with Ani as part of a UNC Kenan-Flagler student consulting project for which he was advising. Ani added significant value both in terms of analytical frameworks as well as business insight. He drew on his deep experience to provide real-life examples to the students, teaching them and enhancing the deliverables for us at the same time. Ani carried himself in a way to draw out the contribution of others and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with him."
