I had the opportunity to work with Pankaj at Standard Chartered. Pankaj was one of the core infrastructure people, and helped build out key infra components that were reused by other teams. In a project where everyone was struggling for time, Pankaj went above and beyond to help people, all the while managing his development work. His commitment and work ethic are beyond question. I hope to cross paths with him again somewhere! .
