A tribute to a boss, a mentor and a friend.

How often do you come across someone who leaves a permanent mark on you? For us, he was our boss, the managing director of our company, eASIC.  PG is a man of the highest integrity. He leads by example and his action teaches us louder than any words possibly do.

Technically competent, it is a norm to find PG at our cube, coaching us and lending us a hand to solve some hands-on issues. He is a great mentor and it is a great fortune to be able to learn from him. Generous as he is with his talents, he expects the same from us as he encourages us to share our knowledge with others. He advocates harmonious workplace and teamwork, which keep our Monday blues at bay.

If there is an ultimate checklist of a good manager, PG will definitely score well in it. He has all the attributes of a great boss; respectful, trustable, supportive, understanding and many more. Nevertheless, he is more than a boss to us. He is a friend, a buddy, a badminton “kaki”, a squash partner and a drinking mate. He is someone whom we can chat at ease with, but can be a little bit nosy at times, which we understand that he has a good intention of being caring. A strong believer of work life balance, he grants us workplace flexibility which we appreciate much.

All good things must end. It has been a privilege and great pleasure to work under PG. We wish our dearest boss all the very best for his future endeavors and we don’t have a slightest doubt that he will definitely soar to a greater height!
