"I am Yashashvi Chauhan, currently working as an Assistant Director and a Marketing intern at TVA Studios in Powai. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned brands such as Flipkart and Bajaj, and a significant factor behind these collaborations is Professor Abhishek.

He is an exceptional educator who stands out for his insightful and unconventional approach to teaching. In his lectures, he breaks away from the traditional classroom educational techniques, embracing the idea that education exists not only within the pages of textbooks but also in practical, real-world experiences. This perspective is what sets him apart and makes him a truly remarkable professor.

His lectures are nothing short of enlightening. He has a knack for distilling complex concepts and presenting them in a way that resonates with his students. What's most impressive is that the knowledge he imparts goes far beyond theory; it's grounded in the practicality of the subject matter. This is particularly invaluable for students like me, who are now working in production / advertising, as it has equipped us with a foundation of knowledge that we can apply daily in your work.

Professor Lamba's notes are so well prepared, ensuring that students have a comprehensive resource to refer to. This attention to detail, combined with his teaching style, often leaves students with minimal questions because he covers the material so effectively. Additionally, his assignments are not cliché, they are creative and engaging, encouraging students like me to think outside the box and apply their learning in innovative ways.

Undoubtedly, Professor Lamba is one of the best professors I've ever had. His commitment to practical education, combined with his engaging teaching style and well-crafted materials, has left a lasting impact on my educational journey and is now a valuable asset in my professional life."
