His
friends say it’s a matter of pride to have him
as a friend! They are glad to know him as an ever helpful,
close friend. He has guided them on several occasions
and extended everlasting support to them. He is an inspiration
to them.
“One really wonders
if there is any field which Deepak has not touched”
fondly remark his friends. During college days, one thing
that Deepak spread around profusely was his enthusiasm. He
was seen everywhere – in sports events, cultural activities,
canteen, movie halls, in ‘the streets’ in the
evenings, in the student association gatherings and occasionally
even in the classrooms!
He was very well known all around, particularly for
his extra-curricular activities. And yet, he always
used to score ‘A’ grades in all the subjects!
That was one thing none of his friends could understand.
How did he manage to do so well in the exams after all
that fun he used to have all the way? I guess, in addition
to his natural intelligence, it was his keen sense of
doing the right thing at the right time with optimum
effort that made him standout.
His career progression
is awesome and deserves admiration. He is a renowned professional
in the Indian IT industry. With his writings in Marathi on
the subject, he is doing a great service to the society. Again,
it is his flair for doing the right thing at the right time
that is behind his success.
Deepak
has a clear view about what he wants to achieve in his
life - personally, professionally and financially. For
this he has a well-defined road map and he always works
according to it. He leaves no stone unturned to ensure
that he does not deviate from the road map.
Deepak is assertive and at times dominating, but this falls
in line with the role he has carved out for himself. At times,
he is too impatient and wants to achieve his goals much faster
than what he has planned. It is because of this occasional
impatience and sometimes, undue haste that he is often misunderstood
in different walks of life. He strongly believes that only
with time will such people realize that they have judged him
wrong.
Socializing and partying is what Deepak really enjoys. He
has friends from all walks of life. They know him as a good
host and are always on a lookout for occasions to celebrate
together.
He
is media savvy and enjoys being a Page 3 figure. There
is hardly a week where news about him or his photo does
not figure in the media. For him media hype and professional
success go hand in hand.
Deepak is extremely helpful to everyone – his
friends as well as to others. He has helped many with
their careers in the information technology field.
Through his writings about IT, he has enthused people
from all walks of life, of all ages to acquaint themselves
with computers and technology. He has been writing on
technology for almost a decade - has written hundreds
of articles in newspapers and periodicals, written several
books and research papers, some of which were presented
at various seminars and conferences in India as well
as abroad.
For this he has won several accolades and recognitions.
He admits that the society has given him a lot and he
wants to give it back to the society to his maximum.
Many people don’t know that he spends the entire
honorarium he gets from his writings on charity. He
also encourages and motivates others to write articles
and books.
Deepak has on several occasions mentioned that he lives
life in compartments. There is a separate compartment
in him for his family and relations, another one for
his friends, another one for the society and yet another
one for his profession. A ripple in any compartment
does not cause waves in others.
He is a strong believer in relationships. For him a
relationship is a life-long bond and commitment that
everyone involved in it must realize. He, on his part
goes all way out to ensure that the relationship is
not just respected but it blossoms.
Deepak has had his share of setbacks. But with a positive
attitude and a great sense of humor he has overcome
the difficult moments in his life.
They say Deepak is a ‘cell-fish’! Begins
his day by sending inspiring SMSes to all his friends
and loved ones.
Has excellent command over languages and is a great
writer too. Had he taken that as a career, P L Deshpande
would have had great competition, boasts his friend
with pride! He would have surpassed all politicians,
had he joined politics. The Big B would have had to
choose another career, had Deepak joined Bollywood!
He loves dancing too.
Deepak is a true disciple of Dr. Shejwalkar and has
practiced management in all aspects of life, be it at
home, career or Rotary. He has a great vision and planned
his life and career very well.
For him family members are friends and friends are family
say his friends affectionately. He is a great charmer
and wins hearts of the younger generation and befriends
kids too.
They wish him all the very best.
