Testimonials
Saurabh VaidSr. Executive Producer / National Geographic Channel
At Nat Geo, as an Executive Producer, she had to creatively supervise the projects in stipulated budgets and time frames which she managed to do effortlessly. Meticulous, versatile, resourceful, quick learner and adaptable are some of the other strengths of Vibha. Having written that, Vibha knows her craft and is capable of carrying out the tasks to utmost perfection. Writing scripts, managing teams, strong leadership qualities are some of the skills worth mentioning in Vibha’s personality.
Anand NarayananVice President – Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) / Beroe Inc
Vibha is the best – a one-person army when it comes to Video/multi-media. As a marketer, I’ve had several occasions when I’d walk in with a vague concept in mind and hours of loud brainstorming later walk out with a superb 2-minute video that I couldn’t have ever imagined possible. Very practical, fully conversant with everything cutting edge and able to work with all kinds of people – Vibha is the best…!
Latika SewaliaAnimation, Graphic design / Media.Monks
It has been a pleasure to work with an exceptional person like Vibha. I was always in awe of her ability to stay calm while managing multiple projects and dealing with the toughest of clients. As the head of the video department at HCL, she took time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each member of her team, and guided them to reach their full potential, and increase productivity.
