Ryan Yde, Associate Attorney at Milbank LLP
“Sagar and I have known each other for at least seven years. I had the privilege of meeting Sagar on the job, an opportunity he himself created by seeking me out. His expertise and organization proved helpful for that endeavor, and I am happy I gave him a chance. From the first interaction I had with Sagar, I knew that he was a true leader. It was apparent to me that Sagar never acts out of fear; he always acts with courage. He never becomes complacent or worn down when things don’t do his way; he always acts with an extreme amount of grit. I was instantly impressed after our first conversation, and Sagar and I became good friends. After our first job, I’ve asked him to join several subsequent teams with me. I know what kind of person he is. He is reliable, hard-working, positive, and competent. He is an excellent addition to any team, and he is an even better friend.”
