I think of you as an intelligent and focused young person.  Someone who is not afraid of looking beyond conventional boundaries to explore professional and personal options.  Someone who is self assured and articulate with a good deal of inter-personal skills.  A person who is also compassionate and sees a balance between her professional and personal life.  I also feel instinctively that you are an ethical person who lives with a strong set of values.

I have known Ipsita since she was a child and have seen her grow into a self-confident and intelligent young woman with perception and insight much above that of most people of her age. She has an amazing, effervescent energy that she uses in her work and in everything she does. With all this, Ipsita is remarkably focused, clear about what she wants and how she can go about achieving her goals.

This is the little girl who, undeterred by bad weather, walked with us at 9000 feet through a blinding hailstorm for several kilometres, and kept going only because of her determination. She is certain to achieve much more ambitious goals in her life.

Ipsita ..where do we begin to talk about her...that we know her since she was a little girl who even at that young age showed talent and courage and confidence and effervescence in all that she did or attempted to do. Very well brought up she is the epitome of high values as well as desired etiquette. She is diligent, focussed and persevering. Bright and full of life she brings with her a breadth of fresh air and buoyancy in both professional and personal relations. Capable; and an asset to both the organisation she works for and her colleagues. Our best wishes forever.

I have known you and your family for years and have experienced the highest levels of good values, honesty and transparency from you. Have also seen you working very hard and fulfilling your commitments. You are intelligent and I have enjoyed talking with you & knowing you.

Ipsita is a great co worker. She has great attitude and aptitude to get things done. She is passionate about the movie business, which means she always goes the extra mile.

She is also a lot of fun to hang out with. Her zest for life at the same time sensitivity and empathy towards people makes her a very special human being.

Ipsita's integrity is right up there.

Ipsita is a highly passionate and extremely self-motivated individual. I have known her to be impulsive at times, but she brings a strong sense of integrity and value creation to her work and her life in general. She is not afraid to express her opinion and can usually back it up with logic and clear understanding of the issue at hand. I would recommend her strongly to anyone looking for a hard working, committed and clear thinking individual.

Ipsita comes across as a very Involved & engaged professional & have interacted with her since her days at Sony Pictures. She made sure that all promotional efforts & tie ups with us at Sony PIX was well coordinated & executed. Her Inputs on TV promotions are very commendable.
Having also known her personally she is a woman of a very strong Character & is very Levelheaded & Goal oriented.

She has also made sure that when she moved from Sony to Disney she brought along with herself the same flair & passion of working that she is known for now. Her inter personal skills are phenomenal & she is very articulate & her strength lies in her character which is dedication towards both work & home, is a very people's person i must say...

I would categorise you in the organised and efficient category with a lot of focus to get task done. Very good at delegation and supervision although a bit of flexibility at times could help. Knows the work well that helps in understanding the difficulties the team would face. Approachable at times of crisis.

Professionally positive attitude towards continuous learning and have specific skills for the job. Personally enthusiastic and action oriented. Positive attitude, motivated and ambitious. Has the energy, tenacity and initiative. Fosters effective relationships
You always have an eye on the horizon. Compassionate and cooperative rather than antagonistic towards others.

Nicest friend to friends. Great interpersonal skills. Very organised person. Classy aesthetic sense. A taste and appreciation for the finer things in life. Opinionated, Headstrong and aggressive - very cool attribute for professional scenarios. Calm in personal interactions with a fantastic sense of humour.
In my opinion your biggest strength is your ability to stand up for what you believe in. That takes an emotional mind as well as a strong spine. Most people shy away from opening up cause it makes them vulnerable. It takes a very strong personality to accept that vulnerability and continue to trust folks in spite of let downs!

To begin with I remember the Roadside Romeo music launch and how quickly you stepped in to be my backstage help, that was super, dont know how many events you have worked on but that night you managed everything that was needed spot on. You really helped me get comfortable within Disney. I am putting down three words to sum you up - Fun, Friend & Fiery!!

Good team worker, who downloads and keeps the team in the loop at all possible times. Very key quality for a working relationship. Always willing to help whenever one gets stuck/ needs help.

Handle crisis at your level than to escalate. Can work individually when required. ie. dont look around for help. Takes right decisions. Good negotiation skills.

At times u do get carried away by ur mood swings, but you dont keep those instances in your heart. Sometimes a little aggressive - has its good and bad points.

Good use of language and tone to get things done wherever ever possible.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ipsita as an associate/colleague and friend and I have loved working/interacting with her...... a person of over average intelligence, has a very sharp mind, a complete go getter and is extremely aggressive (in getting her work done) ........ Very possessive of her work & her ideas, but nevertheless open to suggestions & ideas, if she's convinced that its for the good ......... Will say things as they are and is never the one to take crap or kiss ass .......One of the best qualities that I love about Ipsita is her brutal honesty and trustworthiness, knows how to keep a balance between her personal & professional relationships extremely well, and is always there, whenever you need her ( good or bad) ....... Thank you Ipsi!!!! 🙂

Though I have not interacted with you on a purely professional level, I can still surmise that you are an extremely committed worker having good leadership qualities. You can drive a group on a path. A highly motivated, intelligent person and extremely restless towards work, which means that you leave no stone unturned in order to complete a particular task.

You are very loyal to your friends. The biggest strength, according to me, is your commitment. Personal or professional... I feel that you are very committed and will go to any level to honor your commitments. It also makes you dependable and a very trusted friend and a colleague.

Ipsita and I were classmates in mass communication school from year 1999 till 2001. Here was a class of more than a hundred students but still some managed to set themselves apart from the crowd in the beginning of the course only. Ipsita was one of them. She was actively involved in class activities and all the extra-curricular ones too. I worked with her in the sponsorship team for our college festival and that made me realise what an organised and resourceful person she was. She single-handedly organised tickets for all the guests for our seminars. She raised the money, got discounts from airlines and booked each guest according to their preference. Obviously no easy feat. But then nothing seemed impossible for Ms Johri. In fact I had a sneaky feeling that our institute Director actually started counting on her to pull a rabbit out of her hat for every event we organised or any commitment we undertook.

On the personal front she is one person any friend can depend on. A warm, honest, reliable friend who will not paint a rosy picture and call a spade a spade. Her honesty and integrity makes her a friend for keeps.

Someone once told me that friendship isn't a big thing-but a million little things. And that is precisely what I feel about Ipsita and our decade-long friendship. The first few months of our friendship, I gravitated towards her strength of spirit and conviction. She stood up for what she thought was right, no matter who she was up against. But more importantly, to me, we stayed friends because she had the wisdom to accept and appreciate differences in people. She is fiercely protective of her friends and understanding of their failings. I have always considered her a leader, someone capable of creating a cult of her own. As the world grows crazy and skewed, I can be sure of very few things, and one of them is that Ipsita is always going to be on my side.
