Suresh.. I can recall so many knocks at each others cabins where we did not have to check calendars to seek time, so many corridor talks, travels together for India and Europe meetings, and so many bids/rfps and pitches together.
I saw Suresh as a strong reviewer a great friend, yet open enough to give honest critique. We would do solution designs, rfp responses and reviews together.. have customers visit our delivery floors where Suresh would proudly show our managed services transformation levers.
I recall suresh doing candidate interviews and even when he rejected a profile, he would have the candidate go back with some mentoring and tips.
I recall suresh doing our delivery floor videos, and author chapters in capgemini world quality report.
Suresh did a mixed stint - Capgemini and Sogeti. While he worked in my team for a year stint, we were good friends for all my four years at Capgemini and beyond.
I can't just believe Suresh is not around and not a phone call away. So many things that can be so comforting.. good friends like him, are taken away in no time.
If this is what almighty has decided, I believe, there is a larger purpose waiting for this noble soul.
You would be missed Suresh, RIP.
