I recently attended a training provided by Niranjan on the Scaled Agile Framework. Niranjan made the training sessions very easy going despite the complexities involved in the SAFe concepts. He also brings in his vast experience into the training making it very useful for the participants. I cleared the SAFe Agilist certification after attending his training within a very short time with very little preparation.

I know Niranjan for a decade now, we worked together at Symphony service for 3 years. Niranjan was quite instrumental in enabling and helping many of our product engineering operation centres to adopt Agile. He trained, coached and mentored our projects teams, customer counter parts and senior management to understand agile principles, practices and change ourselves. He championed agile transformation programs and trained 500 plus engineers, leads and mangers. This helped us to differentiate and be early adopters of Agile which lead multiple strategic large customer accounts. Even after parting from Symphony we are in touch, both of us are founding members of Agile Leadership Network Bangalore chapter. We together have organized 4 plus community meets to share and build leadership in Agile. The most striking feature I have seen in Niranjan is his ability to conduct adult learning and training; I give him 10/10 on his training skills. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
