I have worked for the 2 years as a supplier of Mr Rajan Vatakandy with great pleasure, his reactivity and service is second to none. He has a great understanding of our production process and understands the difficulties into bringing our Dolfin Belgian Chocolate to his Hotel. I look forward to many more years of collaboration with Rajan. Arthus de Bousies Sales & Export manager Dolfin (Belgium)

I have worked with Mr. Rajan for the past 5 years and in my opinion he is a deserved candidate and the winner of this category no matter the outcome. He has always been a hardworking, honest and understanding man during all our dealings throughout the years, in good times and most importantly during bad times. I believe it is in consistency of our actions that the real colours of a man is shown and with Mr. Rajan it has shown me a man of great integrity!
