“Deepak and Rashmi were hired to help us convert our vision to reality.
I must say that their approach to the project from concept to execution was a very good
experience. They spent several hours understanding our requirements, transformed that into
drawings and continued to oversee the execution. They have a keen eye to detail, quality
focussed and above all continue to monitor the costs and schedules very closely.

Given the several years the team has spent in the US, the experience is clearly visible in
the professional approach, issue handling, clarity in plans, color concepts and design in the
project.

I would highly recommend Deepak and Rashmi and experience your vision transform into
reality.” February 4, 2009
