"My team first met Dr. Daruwalla as a conference speaker some years ago and we were struck by his knowledge, understanding of the market, and his approachability. Over the last three years we have had numerous interactions with Zubin. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the overall health landscape not only here in Singapore but also in the region and globally. As a practicing clinician, Zubin provides a unique and valuable insight into the healthcare market here. Without exception, feedback from the companies on Zubin's advice and input has been positive. Zubin provided an excellent market analysis and briefing to Noel Gordon, Chair of NHS Digital, Chair of Healthcare UK and non Executive Director of NHS England. As it was Mr. Gordon's first visit to Singapore, Zubin's briefing was an excellent scene setter and was well received."

He performs tasks with great focus, tenacity and vigorous communication and has an impressive plethora of strong relationships with global sites and key opinion leaders. Given Zubin has always demonstrated high work ethics, a crystalline attitude of 24/7 help and support, no less than that of a hotline, I highly recommend working with him unrestrictedly."
