I used to reach out to him with problems and he used to send the solution with a detailed explanation of ways to approach the problem. Hitesh has helped me a lot with my preparation.
Hitesh is my mentor. I was really lucky to get his contact through Quora. He is a motivated, forward-thinking and very intelligent mentor under whom any student would love to prepare for any competitive and tough exams like CAT, GMAT, NMAT, etc. His hands-on approach and special attention to each and every student is something very rare nowadays. I will strongly recommend Hitesh if anyone is preparing for a competitive exam.

Sankeern Pai, PGDM,TAPMI,Manipal, 2020-22
My name is Sankeern Pai, and I was referred to Hitesh Sir by my cousin. Since we were from a commerce background, we felt that we would need more personal attention and hence I avoided joining big CAT prep centres like TIME or Career Launcher.
With Hitesh Sir, my experience was a very competitive and a unique one. He has tonnes of useful material that one needs to succeed in CAT. He has the passion for teaching which was evident to me right from the beginning. He pushed me from the very start to succeed in CAT. The onus is on us to actually try and solve as much material as possible. For CAT, the more you practise, the better you get.
When it comes to teaching methods, here’s where the uniqueness comes. Sir has designed various methods to the various complex topics included in CAT which helped me in ways I could not imagine.Overall, I would like to say that, if one has the passion and drive to succeed for CAT(which is very much required if one wants to actually succeed), Hitesh sir would be your perfect fit. I can still not forget all the arguments and battles we had, all in good humour though!
I’m happy to say, that in my first attempt I managed to score a 90 Percentile and I owe a lot of that credit to Hitesh sir.Krishnakant BV, PGDM,XIMB,Bangalore, 2020-22
Thank you so much sir for helping and guiding me to perform well in the entrance exams and showing me a way to pursue my post graduate course which will indeed help me to transform into a better person
Thank you so much sir for the personal attention i received from you. You are one of the finest mentors i have ever seenSwapnil Rajmane, PGPM,Great Lakes,2020-22
One of the best mentors I received for the preparation of CAT. The methods of teaching were very fantastic and doubt clearing methods were very good.

Vasudev Chatterjee , Quantiphi
Hitesh is one of those select few who are incredibly good at what they do. Hitesh's knowledge and understanding of the field of machine learning and data science are both vast and deep at the same time. Even more than that, his eagerness to learn and apply his learnings to his everyday work has lead to some marvellous results that had seemed impossible before. Hitesh is hard-working and has a methodical and scientific approach to work, which often at times brings him a lot of recognition and appreciation from his co-workers. I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked alongside Hitesh. He helped me learn a lot and is a valuable asset to any team he is a part of.
Hitesh and I worked together through the year 2018 on multiple projects and it was great to have him on our team. He demonstrated willingness to go beyond documented deliverables/scope and we often ended up working more than a usual 9-5 just as enthusiastically. His skills in both Exploratory Data Analysis as well as building Machine Learning algorithms were extremely useful and personally as a subject matter expert, I found it easy to communicate with him while working on some challenging problems in the Energy Industry. He was also adept at teaching the rest of the team the limitations and possibilities of Data Science, while gathering industry feedback, quickly correcting any erroneous finding that may result from an effort backed purely by data science to add the industry 'flavor'. All in all, it was a pleasure working with him and thanks to his skill set, our effort lead to some strong solutions and insights. My best wishes to him and for all you know, we might end up working together again, sooner than later. I would look forward to the same!

I worked with Hitesh in Quantiphi. He was the Go To Person in our team for anything related to machine learning and traditional statistics. The best part about him is that he first understands the end user and the business problem being solved and accordingly he used to his research for the business domain, then used to go through multiple research papers for algorithms and then used to execute things with perfection. He helped us in building point of views for business proposals and also was responsible in driving account growth with a new automotive customer by ensuring customer experience during the POC phase. He is also a great mentor and used to mentor the freshers who joined in our team very well. He is a great asset to any team that he joins. I would love to work with Hitesh again in the future. I wish him all the best for his future endeavours!
Krutarth Bhatt, Research Engineer, Ola Electric
Hitesh has been my direct reporting manager but, I haven’t ever felt that way. He has been a mentor more then a manager. The best thing I like about him is that he cares more about the team’s learnings then success but at the same time never fails to deliver what is needed. Also he is the only person I have ever meet who is technically so strong across all the fronts in his domain.
Vaibhav Agarwal , Chief Troublemaker to the CEO at WeSoar.ai
Hitesh and I have worked on multiple problem statements together during his time at Quantiphi. His commitment, approach, wanting to go the extra mile to take on tasks, wanting to find out the business reasons why we should solve that problem were qualities I really admired. Be it Markov models or Object Detection model, he knew what had to be done and would often guide my team if they faced blockers. Observing his demeanor helped me understand how to remain calm and composed during tough situations and he is someone I would definitely want to work with again! I recommend him for any role in any organization. Best of luck.

I have had a very short span of interaction with Mr. Hitesh Hinduja at work. In the due course of time, even though we worked for different projects; Hitesh always extended his helping hand to me with any project I worked on. This was a display of his exemplary multi-domain knowledge. Working on ML models and aligning them with optimum business requirements has always's been Hitesh's forte. Hitesh has a very strong stats background that sets him apart from any ML engineer one would ever find. Extremely clear with his concepts, he could explain the toughest of ML models to people without a prior ML background with utmost ease. Having said all that, "a knack of solving problems with ease" is something one would associate with Hitesh that sets him apart from the rest not only as an ML engineer but also as a team lead.

I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Hitesh. Hitesh’s has good knowledge on Machine learning and Data science, though I have not got an opportunity to work with him but still have seen him leading small teams and guiding them regarding Machine learning, because of his work in POC that POC got converted into project. As a team member or a leader, Hitesh earns my highest recommendation.
Varun Golani, MS Student, Paderborn University
I worked with Hitesh on our B.E. project which was "ERP System for Printing Industry". It was a great experience working with him, we used to discuss about how we should convert a requirement into code. We also presented our B.E. project paper "ERP System for Small and Medium Sized Printing Industries" in the conference ICCCV - 2017.
