Criticism
Detractors, primarily bloggers, say his academic qualifications are rather dubious as they all have been obtained from IIPM which is not recognised by any University or statutory educational institution in India. His detractors believe that he indulges in expedient exaggerations.
(Uncited, POV) For example his claims of having provided consulting solutions to Mckinsey,E&Y and PwC have been trashed by the global consulting organisation,some of whom have threatened legal action.
