[Shantu is] a creative thinker that works well leading a team, as part of a team, or on his own. He has a vast amount of knowledge across the span of online publishing, communications and marketing, and takes pride in all he does. He is a patient perfectionist who always brings an innovative approach to whatever task he's tackling. I consider myself lucky to have met and worked alongside Shantu, and he would be a huge benefit to any team that is lucky enough to have him.

Working with Shantu is an absolute pleasure, not only because of his patient, kind, and personable demeanour, but also because of his forward-thinking nature, which reflects in all the work he contributes to and creates. His talents in writing—both creative and technical—are matched with his meticulous editing; he captures nuance and has a thought process I haven't seen in any other individual.
