I cant agree more than what our dear Prof. Shrikar Kulkarni has to say about Sandeep. Infact way back in 1996-97, we could see an emerging and scintillating entrepreneur in him when we both closely managed our most beloved project "Enoch Pharmaceuticals" and we went thru' both good and difficult times together which was full of rich experience which has shown us different shades of learning through practical concepts and approach. Also we as a team (entire class of '97) together have created a need for the Pharmaceutical Management Specialist in the Industry which has given birth to various other Pharmaceutical Management Colleges in the Country. Infact Sandeep and the likes from our batch have played a pivotal role in escalating the image of IES as a management institute. From deep down in the heart come my best wishes and may you ascend heights that no person has achieved so far in the Pharma industry."
