What collaborators say

The people I've built with — from college to Kissflow and beyond.

I'm writing to wholeheartedly recommend Srihari for any technology-related opportunity. I've had the pleasure of knowing him for nine years, since our college days, and have consistently been impressed by his leadership, technical expertise, and ability to leverage technology for success. From the very beginning, Srihari stood out as a natural leader. He possessed an uncanny ability to rally people around a common goal and bring out the best in everyone. Whether it was organizing college events or tackling complex projects, Srihari was always at the forefront, leading the charge with infectious enthusiasm and strategic thinking. But Srihari wasn't just a charismatic leader; he was also a tech whiz. He understood the power of technology to streamline processes, solve problems, and drive innovation. He readily adopted new technologies and wasn't afraid to experiment to find the best solutions. This tech-savvy approach was evident in all our college projects, where Srihari would seamlessly integrate technology to enhance our work and achieve outstanding results.

Srihari has always delivered solutions for the business problems and he takes care of the technology. He is a great asset for any business head looking to get insights for the business objectives.
RTRaja T MGTM | Marketing · Kissflow · April 2025
Had the pleasure of working with Srihari at Kissflow. He was one of the best tech guys I have come across in my experience. We had worked together in a couple of projects across multiple domains. His enthusiasm for AI and early adoption has made him one of my go-to guys for tech doubts and queries. Amongst all his technical prowess he's a super supportive and focused individual. He always looks to rally the team to get the task done. Been a great pleasure working with him.
AKAshray KiranEx-HPE | RevOps Specialist · Kissflow · March 2025
Srihari is someone you can always rely on when things get complex. A team with Srihari will benefit a lot at tough times and a team led by him will grow to their fullest potential. He has a strong grasp of AI and Technologies, but what stands out is how he applies it to solve real world problems that actually matter. He's always exploring and building, but with clear intent and not just for personal experimentation. He's also the kind of teammate who genuinely helps others, taking the time to share what he knows without hesitation.
