Certified ScrumMaster Training by Kamlesh Ravlani, CST, Bangalore

 

Kanika Salwan (Publicis Sapient): I am one of the fortunate ones who got to attend Kamlesh's CSM Training. While Kamlesh kept all of us on our toes in these two training days (weekend!) but it was one of the most enjoyable, interactive, fun learning sessions I have ever attended (with the right blend of exercises (his coaching style) and discussions). I recommend everyone who wants to proceed with the Scrum in their career, to definitely attend Kamlesh's sessions. After all, you would like to Scrum learn from the Expert himself :)

 

Ankit Khuller (Recommendation shared on LinkedIn): I was lucky enough to undergo the CSM training conducted by Kamlesh Ravlani. His knowledge and oratory skills are second to none. The session was engaging, informative and entertaining at the same time. Kamlesh is a master of the trade and has all the answers you need in every context. Also got to learn new techniques related to facilitation, mentoring and guidance which in the world of agile mindset are invaluable for any professional. The material is beyond compare and his personal touch makes it all the more better. I believe his research, case studies and analogies are on point and help make the topics relatable. His approach and mindfulness was a delight. Introverts were speaking out the same way as others! Kamlesh has been generous enough to lend support beyond the workshop and mentor me in aspects where I need his knowledge and expertise. Couldn’t have wished for a better way to get on the path of embracing Agile as a framework for work and perhaps even personal endeavours!

 

Tanya Trivedi (Deutsche Bank): Kamlesh Ravlani is one of the best scrum coach I have came across. The 2 days training workshop for CSM provided by him not only helps you learn scrum at granular level but also helps you understand how well can you apply this knowledge practically as he enables learning by practical examples of industry that you can very well relate to.You can learn in interactive and attentive environment and not get exhausted by mundane sessions. Thank you so much for helping and guiding us!!!

He wss extremely professional in his presentation and highly educated and experienced in the subject he presented. He used a variety of real life examples and facilitation techniques to showcase the role of a Scrum Master.His energy and ability to convey a difficult idra in a simple yet powerful way was incredible. I would certainly recommend Kamlesh's sessions to anyone who is looking to expand Scrum knowledge. This is the best workshop I've attended till date.

 

Stuti Bhosale (Deloitte): Had a pleasure of having Kamlesh as a mentor at the CSM Jul'19 training program. He was well structured & spoke on intriguing topics that gave us quite a few"aha!" moments. Kamlesh's command on the subject and his style of presentation ensure he gets your full attention. Kudos to you Kamlesh! Your energy and ability to convey a difficult idea in a simple yet powerful way was highly impressive & l look forward to associating with you in future. Thankyou, Stuti.
