Testimonials
- Subhasis Roy (Real Estate Head, Regus)

- Manisha Natarajan (Anchor & Editor, NDTV Property Show/ Ex-Brookfield)
Can one person pack in intelligence, diligence, passion, humility and the ability to go beyond 100%, at work? Abbishek does. I've seen him work under pressure, in a difficult environment, adapt to it, and deliver results. His understanding of commercial real estate is remarkable. Yet he goes out of his way to take up new projects, outside of his role and responsibility, only to learn more. It's a pleasure that our paths crossed professionally. I might not have known him otherwise, and that would have been my loss.
- Suresh Ramachandra (Vice President – Global Support Services & Procurement, Microland)
Abbishek and I worked together from 2008 to 2013 at Dell, when he was leading Real Estate transactions Pan India for Dell thru CBRE. I was impressed by his skills in relationship management and negotiations with builders, while he turned around some of the most difficult transactions with ease, that resulted in win-win deals. His impeccable commitment, composure, persistence and unquestionable integrity are worth mentioning while he strived hard to get his client out of couple of complex transactions with demanding and unreasonable landlords in Gurugram and Bangalore. He has been a great support since 2008 and I have always reached out to him for guidance, when it comes to real estate transactions in all my subsequent assignments post Dell. Thank you Abbishek. You will be an asset to any team that you choose to work with.
