The team members, coaches and clients Daksh worked with attest to his growth mindset and constant curiosity to keep learning through everything he does.
“Daksh demonstrated a fresh approach and an open mind to quickly learn key aspects of both our use cases and key parameters of the model that gave consistent results. He showed constant curiosity, an ability to ask probing questions and managed his deadlines well,” said Chandrashekhar Iyer, Founder of Polymorphix.AI. It is an Australian FinTech company that is re-imagining financial services and technology to enable entrepreneurs and businesses to do more, do well & share the benefits with people & community focused institutions around them. Daksh, along with another Enterprise Partner- Dnyanesh Chandewar, took up the opportunity to work with Polymorphix.AI in understanding how to use an existing AI to create tool summaries and classify research reports.
“If there is something he doesn’t know how to do, he will find out more and get familiar with whatever he needs to know about that topic,” mentioned Ishaan Kanoi, Sr Internal Auditor at Cummins, who was the Enterprise Coach supporting Daksh and the Enterprise Partner team working on Chandrayaan 0.0 – an initiative to encourage people to walk and exercise over the covid crisis induced lockdown.
Ishaan also shared, “he spends a lot of time reading, problem solving.” Due to the pandemic, the Fellowship moved online, and it was hard to sustain the community space beyond zoom meetings and sessions. Daksh sensed the problem, and took up a self-initiative of designing a community space for Enterprise on Discord, persuaded the Enterprise team with a convincing value proposition, and facilitated the transition to a new community platform for over 60+ people.
“Daksh thinks and cares deeply. He shows up once he commits.” shared Aditya Jhunjhunwala, Coach & Co-Founder of the Enterprise India Fellowship who worked closely with Daksh on the transition to Discord. Enterprise Fellowship Coordinator, Rohini Mistary, added, “He is very focused on the task at hand. He is able to achieve anything that he puts his mind to work on.”
