My name is Vijay Bandaru and I am an Indian. I live in Hyderabad city of Telangana state with my wife and two kids.

I am a Certified Scrum Trainer and Enterprise Agile Coach. I conduct training workshops for Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) across the world. I also help organizations in their Agile transformation journey. I use TBR (Training from the Back of the Room) approach for my workshops so they will be highly interactive and energitic.
