A family man, Surandar was greatly influenced by his father and believes in going above and beyond the call of duty by thinking extra and doing extra; by doing more than what has been asked of him. It’s no surprise that his friends describe him as passionate about his work, while his peers & employees collectively brand him as a source of inspiration.

“Standing still is equal to stagnating in the industry.”

A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Surandar is in a state of constant progressive evolution as he believes that growth is a way of life, and he also enjoys solving problems and not sweating the small stuff. While this may seem conflicting, Surandar’s approach is aligned in both aspects – instead of agonizing over problems – big or small – he prefers to think clearly to find solutions.
