I have been very happy to work and collaborate with Aakansha Sharma on producing creative writing materials for our various International / national ventures including Camessi/Pezalli Bespoke/ Saint & Stitch and Alteration Studio. In Oct 2018, Aakansha undertook a major lead in helping me associate with International Brands in Singapore and London through her excellent innovative design and strategies. Aakansha has been willing to take the courage and step out as the first leader within the open directorships of the projects assigned to her. Aside from her leadership skills, self-initiating sense, and team management, Aakansha is also a great artist, with the immense capacity to brainstorm, formulate and communicate igniting pieces of creative work.

I connected with Aakansha through a chance job posting I’d put out for a content manager role for BehindTheRamp - a venture I started about a year back, and was extremely pleased when our discussions over the topic proved in sync. She was extremely supportive of the vision of the company, and helped shape it further - a very important and helpful trait for young founders such as myself. After taking complete responsibility of shaping up our product, she helped us with numerous suggestions on content ideation and execution, in addition to helping with the early user base onboarding. She was also a star ambassador for our product - spreading word of our product in her college and running campaigns independently. Would not hesitate to work with her again. Highly recommended!

I remember interviewing Aakansha, she was polite yet interacted with confidence. I believe she has academic intellectual ability, and creativity to understand complex issues and channelize such skills into productive outlets.As an International Media house our different magazines feature creative and technical portions.fairs. As per my experience with Aakansha she was well suited to her job role of a Fashion Correspondent, Researcher and a writer.She demonstrated her oral and written articulation in all the interviews she conducted with people at all the levels. Her written work was clear and concise, as well as interesting to read. Aakansha was highly proficient in applying all the feedback she was given and showed she loves to learn. Her performance in professional experience is a good indication of how she would perform as a graduate student. She will be an extremely positive asset to your program.

I am writing to recommend Ms. Aakansha Sharma who interned with Counted One Media Labs Pvt Ltd for a period of 6 months. I have known Aakansha personally for the duration of her internship as a design Team’ intern. Post her internship she continued to work for my other ventures (Vogue Honors and Pandolin) with her Masters. I have always known her to be sincere, attentive and precise at her job. She is extremely cordial and respectful at the workplace with seniors and juniors alike. During her internship I found her to be the most engaged person, she would never hesitate to take all kinds of task opportunities, be it small or big, and that's the best part about her. Based on our experience together, I can confidently recommend Aakansha for your college program.

July 2015
I have known Aakansha for more than 3 years. She worked as an intern at the ElpisDesign where I was supervising her as the Design Head. I assigned the User Research and Marketing Activities to Aakansha and monitored her progress. I was particularly impressed by her strong user interviewing skills, which was a major aspect of the projects she was working on. She was able to bring out insights through her skills, which helped us validate and take crucial product decisions. With her learning and understanding of the subject, she designed a well-researched Trend Report on ‘5 Education trends shaping Educational Technology in 2015’, which exemplifies her zeal for research and analytical studies. With the amount of time she served at the organization, I believe she has the capability to work on the topics unrelated to her field and can give unarguable results. Even after her period of work, Aakansha extended support to us and transferred details to the next person who joined. This serves as proof of her dedicated ambition to succeed and excels not just as an individual but as an important part of the team.

I feel happy to write this testimonial for Aakansha Sharma. It brings back to me but found memories I have shared with her as a mentor. I had a very unique experience with this girl of first-year BBA at Sophia College who seemed to me to be wise and headstrong from a distance. My first encounter was working with her as the group teacher for the text board decoration outside the assembly hall. There I saw her qualities of leadership, group work, accommodating nature and open-mindedness. She not only served as the Class Representative for 3 years but also secured the first position in BBA 2013. Her best quality is that she is a learner, which is very important in today's fast-paced competitive environment. Moving from a small town like Ajmer to a big city in the USA she has adjusted well to the surroundings. I feel she will be an asset to any organization she joins.

This recommendation is for my former co-worker Aakansha. I met her while working for Fashion Forward Trends, a trend forecasting arm of Apparel Resources. As a co-worker, I found Akansha to be extremely helpful, patient and empathetic. We got the opportunity to work together in certain projects and were able to complete our work smoothly, in perfect tandem with each other. She is an excellent team player and has the knack of coming up with brilliant, out-of-the-box ideas. As an employee, Aakansha was extremely diligent, hard-working. She was fully committed to each of the tasks given to her and gave it her everything till full completion. I found it extremely easy to work with her, as she is open to suggestions and ideas. All in all, she is an asset, not only as a creative mind but also as a human being.

I have known Aakansha inside out for more than just our time together at NIFT. We got many chances to work together in group assignments and I believe Aakansha is meticulous, quick and responsive. She has a perpetual eagerness and acceptance towards up-skilling. She is a good team player, gives constructive feedback and has a thinking approach that is oriented towards problem solving. Her mind is like a structural chaos, the one that personifies inquisitiveness. She is driven by the need to know more, it only makes her more competent at what she does.So far it has been a sheer privilege working and knowing her.
