Will deeply miss his calm presence, his friendly smile, and the way he always made others feel valued and heard. It’s painful to imagine the workplace without him. His sincerity, patience, and humble nature left a lasting impression on everyone at work. My thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and all who knew and cared about him during this very difficult time.

To Rashmi, Samairi, Amit, Arab, and his parents Deep and Bhanu Agarwal: Sumit was a light at work - filled with vitality and joy. He was super smart, honest, direct and had lots of fun. I was always struck by his energy and "can do" spirit. There are not so good souls, good souls, and great souls. Sumit was a great soul. There is an "empty place at our table" now, where Sumit once sat. I cannot put into words how sad I am - which is a *microscopic* level of the feelings all of you must be feeling. May all of you - and all who loved him - experience grace during this time. Namaste

To all of Sumit's family, I only knew Sumit for a very short time joining him at work the past couple months. That was all the time it took to realize what a great person he was. His knowledge was obvious initially meeting him, his personality showed through immediately and made him such a pleasure to collaborate with. You will all be in our prayers as you work through this difficult time. My sincerest condolences.

Sumit, until we meet again, I will hold your memory in my heart and mind. Aatma ko sadgati prapt ho, my friend. To all of Sumit’s family and friends, My heart goes out to you all and I pray for peace in this difficult time. Sumit was one of a kind, who exemplified all of the things represented in his obituary. He was so kind and respectful, and I enjoyed his partnership and working alongside him on projects. He took time to make sure I understood what we were working in, and often indulged me with my many detailed questions. I am forever grateful to him for this. My relationship with Sumit cannot compare to any of yours, so I can only imagine the pain you must feel. I am sorry for this. Sumit was taken way too soon and I hope his memory will carry you with strength and love until you meet with him again. Om Shanti.

His memory will forever remain in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace."
