I was lucky to have worked with Payal and to know her as an individual. Her sharp intellect, unique understanding of contemporary issues, simple solutions to complex problems and readiness to extend a helping hand endeared her to everyone in her network. Much later, when I saw her last two books I could not help turning into an admirer. Her worldview and understanding of environments are so different and original. She writes in a simplistic style that is at once friendly and affable. Her earthly logic and illustrative examples are easily understood as they stem from daily life and commonsense. She comes across as an advisor who is effortlessly unpretentious, nonjudgmental and empathetic. I am impressed with her passion to make all her
readers succeed in their chosen fields.
