``I have worked with Hiren for almost an year to learn basics of Agile and Scrum. Hiren is a very knowledgeable coach who knew how to drive meetings to conclusions and action items. His command over concepts of Agile is tremendous and one gets to learn a lot from him. He is also a fun loving guy which made the overall training a nice experience.``
``Hiren was engaged to assist the RSA/Aveksa team in it’s adoption of Agile. He provided expert training and coaching, energizing the teams as they ventured into new territory. His enthusiasm, coupled with out-of-the-box thinking, helped launch these teams and made them realize immediate successes. I highly recommend Hiren as an Agile coach and trainer.``
``In August 2010, we sought Hiren’s help in providing us a formal training on Agile. He has lived Agile and with that experience he gave us well-thought and practical recommendations to our agile questions. Hiren would be the one if you want someone with no-fluff and real life Agile experience.``
