I worked with Ananya briefly on the Partnerships charter where she was instrumental in scaling our partner count and leads by ~2x. She has a fantastic personality for client-facing work and is naturally talented at building and managing strategic relationships. Ananya is a resourceful individual who functions well independently in ambiguous environments. A definite asset with great potential!

I got to work with Ananya during my time at BharatX, and she’s one of those people who can handle multiple things, from partnerships to operations, being a generalist without losing calm. She brings structure when everything feels all over the place and somehow always finds a way to get things done. What I’ve always admired is how she compartmentalizes tasks so gracefully yet pushes people around her to go beyond.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Ananya Pande as my co-founder at The Honest Critique, and I can confidently say she is one of the most reliable and professional people I’ve worked with. She has remarkable business acumen and a natural ability to identify new avenues for growth, partnerships, and expansion. We collaborated on multiple projects, and she consistently brought clarity, structure, and creativity to every stage of the work. Ananya also managed our interns and team members with exceptional ease. She created effective workflows, communicated clearly, and built a strong internal culture. She played a key role in shaping our marketing strategies and developing innovative approaches that helped establish our presence. Anyone looking for a driven, thoughtful, and results-oriented leader would be fortunate to have Ananya on their team.

Working alongside Ananya at BharatX has been fantastic. She excels at handling merchant success, making it look effortless. Ananya's clear communication and problem-solving skills shine when dealing with merchant queries. She's the perfect bridge between our merchants and the tech team. Ananya's knack for organizing and managing the often chaotic world of merchant success is impressive. She deeply understands her work and is always eager to learn more. Her proactive attitude and ownership make her a standout colleague. In short, Ananya's contributions to our team have been invaluable. It's been a pleasure working with someone so skilled and dedicated, and I'm confident she'll continue to thrive in any role she takes on.

Ananya has been one of those few kids we hired early on as an intern at Naario and then brought along as full time team members. The reason was simple- she handled ambiguity well, she was committed beyond the 9-5 and is great at networking. She’s 100% a great value addition to any team she’s a part of, with her energy and team spirit.

Ananya is an incredible professional to work with. She carries a rare mix of innovation and clarity of thought, anchored by an incredible work ethic. She is always ready to listen and learn, while also being a great source of wisdom and knowledge herself. She pushes through challenges thrown at her like the most efficient juggernaut you have ever seen. All this makes her nothing short of a reliable teammate and great mentor.
