    He joined as a Project Intern for Risk Management domain and was tasked to prepare a playbook for the same in which he has done a marvellous job of researching and identifying all the cyber risk faced by an IT infrastructure of an organization. When he presented his findings in meetings, he clearly showed the process he took to identify risk statement. After approving his work, I introduced him to the members of CyberFrat community who are already working in Information security industry from many years. He networked and took help of members of my community to further enhance and finetune playbook by adding mitigation steps and countermeasures for the identified risks. His work was neat and concisely created and he also manifested excellent researching and communication skills. Owing to his outstanding efforts and hard work , I nominated him as intern of the month which he truly deserved. Having noted his great execution of initial project, I assigned him to another upcoming project related to CRISC (Certified in risk and Information systems control) for which he is currently working. He is collaboratively working with an officer from ministry of external affairs and is extremely proactive and regularly provides me updates and summary of the project progress. With the insight he has gained while working on diverse projects with us, he would be an asset enabling him to excel in his masters and sharpen his skillset in becoming a better professional.In conclusion, I believe that Kaustubh possesses the right mix to critical thinking skills, technical acumen and a goal-oriented focus. I firmly believe that these qualities will make him an asset to your institute and strongly support his decision to continue his further education at your reputed institution. He is not hesitant to put in the requisite hard work to achieve his goals, and thus, I am confident that he will succeed In his future endeavours. I whish him all the best for bright and successful career
