While I’m sad to see you go, I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned from you. Your guidance has made a huge impact, and I’ll carry your lessons with me (though I might still need some time to perfect your level of calm under pressure!).

Wishing you nothing but success and happiness ahead. You’ll always be the best leader we’ve had.

FYI - We're still trying to figure out how you made it look so easy! 😅

We never really worked closely together yet I feel connected and share a bond with you. I have always liked talking to you, discussing technical stuff with you. Above all, I have immensely enjoyed your humour, funny memes and quick wit in the bakar threads.

Shall miss you and your memes buddy.

You've always been very patient & helpful ! You've always shielded your team very well & encouraged them also. Thank you for the detailed KTs. Truly grateful for all your support and guidance!

Best wishes for everything up ahead!

We've worked together on some of the most challenging projects at razorpay and I am still amazed at how well you can glide through issues, balance dependencies and shield the team.

You have been a mentor more than an EM to the entire team, will definitely miss our banters.

Wishing you all the best for the future...

Its been some time!! I had a great privilege not many would get, working with you, not much about the routine work but the views/talks that we had with immense wisdom that you carry this was too much for a fresher to get but you made it really comfortable. Its the clarity of thought that I always wonder how would you managed to get. Maybe some magic wand :p.

The bakkar during outings was too much fun. Much more life discussions and you shared your experiences without any hesitation.

Also the liveliness that your bring during any moment is really insane, which i always wish i could have.

To tell the least you are one of those people whom I have inspired by.

Thank you Antony for everything. Wishing you all the best for your future.

You’ve always been someone I could count on, and your presence will leave a big gap.

You’ve made such a positive impact on the people lucky enough to work with you (myself included!). Your wisdom, sense of humour and support are truly unforgettable.

Wishing you the best for everything ahead!

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, and I truly hope our paths cross again professionally someday.

While I’m sad to see you go, I’m excited for you and the new opportunities that lie ahead. Your leadership will certainly be missed, but I’m confident that the positive influence you’ve had here will continue to resonate with the team.

Thank you for everything.

I sincerely hope to stay connected and continue learning from your wealth of experience in the future. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter! :)

you have been the inspiration to many engineers out here. Your way of simplifying problems at root and providing the view to stakeholders on the tradeoffs has always been great. All the best man!

You will be missed dearly . Your passion for people , technology outcomes and earnest hard work has been something I am very highly appreciative of . Also very positively surprised on your sense-of-humour in slack bakkar threads.

I wish you happiness in all future endeavours .

Will miss you around and on the slack bakar threads. Please do keep in touch and all the very best for your future endeavours.

You were (and are) a gem of a person wearing so many hats!

I reached out to you before starting my managerial role, and you have been very influential person in helping me choosing the path I currently am in. Which also means if things go south, I am gonna blame you too :P

Thank you Antony for always being the Big Bhai! I am gonna miss the Hindi sessions though :P

-Megha :)

You are a leader I always look forward to having a conversation with. You understand a thought, give your reason, and make learning so fun!

Your trust and confidence in your team are inspiring, and I would like to borrow that trait from you. You might unknowingly be a reason why I always try to build confidence with my engineering counterparts - hahahhaha.

I look forward to crossing paths with you again, and shall miss your presence dearly! Wishing you all the success.

In these few weeks, our deep discussions have been incredibly valuable. The knowledge you possess about the system, Razorpay, every service, and even the smallest details is truly remarkable 🙌. The context and insights you’ve shared with me are something I will carry with me throughout my journey here.

I know it’s impossible to fill your shoes, but I hope I can manage to live up to even a small percentage of what you’ve achieved. I hope our paths cross again in the future—I would love the opportunity to work with you again someday.

From Monday onward, I know your absence will be felt deeply, and I’ll miss you greatly 😔.

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, Antony! 🚀

Have always admired your leadership quality of owning your opinions and decisions, and protecting your team no matter how much the pressure was! Your presence is going to be very duly noted, and felt for a long time. The gaping hole you are leaving Payments Platform with :')

Will miss your dry fruit dabba! I hope you nothing but the very best for your future endeavour.

Best,

Himanjali

Having you around was like no other.

Your laughter, your wisdom, your endless care,

It’s hard to think of not having you there.

But don’t worry, I’ll still give you a call,

Trouble you, bother you — I’ll do it all!

Goodbye for now, but not for long,

Our bond will stay forever strong.
