“Meeting Niyathi during their interview for the Product Manager role at Microsoft was a standout moment in my career. They immediately distinguished themselves to all of us on the interview loop with their rare combination of passion, intelligence, creative problem-solving, and mental flexibility. Niyathi is more than just a skilled professional; they’re a dynamic force who leverages their diverse personal interests and professional experiences to drive innovative approaches & major impact. Their endless curiosity and embodiment of a learning mindset are truly inspiring. In the Global org at Microsoft (2019-2020), Niyathi quickly made their mark. They developed expertise in complex domains like localization and machine translation, effectively driving highly technical projects to fruition. Their ability to navigate the nuances of cross-organizational collaboration with ease established them not just as a colleague, but as a go-to figure within the team. What truly sets Niyathi apart, though, is their genuine energy, enthusiasm, and the heartfelt commitment and care they extend to their teammates. I confidently recommend Niyathi for any team!” - Joshua Segeren, then-Senior Product Manager at Microsoft. Note: Original pronouns written have been changed to “they”.
