I like double-checking everything. People call it stubbornness. I call it standards, and I don’t fall beneath that.”

Apart from being a highly skilled and detail-oriented planner, Apoorv is also a natural leader. He takes command of any floor and gladly takes the blame in a room to rescue his crew.
