JaskaranDhiman, PhDUniversity of GuelphPostdoctoral Research Associate: In my
experience as an engineer and as a graduate student, I have witnessed and participated in
debates comparing “smart work” and “hard work” many times. We always ended up agreeing
that a balance between the two is a must. I always think of my colleague, Jatinder Singh
Khandal, whenever we arrive to this conclusion. Jatinder is a perfect example of someone
who strikes a perfect balance between hard work and smart work. He is diligent, intelligent,
hard working and innovative. Jatinder knows what is expected of him and he know whats at
stake. He gives his best to deliver what is asked for. He even comes up with new ideas of his
own. his ideas end up being accepted by top management most of the times. I would highly
recommend him given what I know about him.
VarunChhabra,DeLavalMechanical Design Engineer : I am glad to write this recommendation
for Jatinder Singh Khandal. I worked with Mr. Khandal in the same team from 2011 to 2015. I
have had observed him as an active and hardworking individual on educational as well as
professional front.
His strong technical knowledge helped him to win accolades at various
levels in the organization. His innate interest in the field of machinery design helped him
getting the “Best Engineer” and “Money making machine” awards. His technical knowledge,
ability to work well in diverse cultural, environmental, and organizational scenarios enabled
him to become the technical leader of the functional technology group. His team spirit and
ability to lead by personal example would take him a long way on his professional journey. I
strongly recommend Jatinder as a potential candidate for a position in broad area of
Agricultural and Mechanical Engineering, and believe he would give his 100% to achieve
excellence.
MeenaKumari,Alstom Project Engineer : We have joined Claas together in 2009 and since
then I have seen him growing everyday professionally and personally both. He has in-depth
knowledge about Combine harvester and other agricultural machinery. Moreover, he always
show keen interest in learning about new technology and several other areas. Along with vast
knowledge of design, he has a strong skill set in Product life cycle.
ManikaranSinghMineSense Technologies Ltd.Senior Mechanical Engineering : I worked
with Jatinder Singh for than 3 years in Claas India and I found him very talented in providing
strong solutions for engineering problems. He is an effective designer and takes his
responsibilities seriously. He always pushes his limits to achieve excellence in his work. He
has strong abilities to design agricultural engineering technology and he is a very reliable
engineer.
SandeepDhimanSumitomo Electric Wiring Systems, Inc.EDS Engineer- D&R :It was a
pleasure of working with Mr. Jatinder Singh Khandal for the 5 years at recent company. During
this time, we worked together on multiple projects related to agricultural machine called
Combine harvester, Jatinder is a person with a strong ownership and driving for results all the
time. He look after and work with the Process Technology team and address the topics related
to design and development of threshing system. He is energetic, confident and solution
oriented.
ROHITTREHAN,JCB India Ltd.Head- Manufacturing Engineering & Projects -Vadodra Hi, I
can express in 3 words Diligent, Agile,Focused these are his top qualities above the rest.
