About
Shankar brings over three decades of hands-on experience helping organisations grow, transform, and lead with purpose. His work spans IT Services, SaaS, Retail, Utilities and Manufacturing, with a unique blend of business strategy, sales execution, and leadership development.
What drives Shankar is a deep curiosity about how people, systems, and strategy come together to create sustainable impact.
He believes in meeting organisations where they are, and guiding them towards where they want to be , with sharp thinking, grounded execution, and human-centred leadership.
At Effilor, Shankar partners closely with Founders, CEOs, and Sales Leaders of mid-sized firms, and with L&D leaders in larger enterprises. He helps craft and activate strategy, build future-ready sales engines, and develop leadership teams that can scale impact.
His clients value his strategic mindset, ability to simplify complexity, coach for performance, and design interventions that create long-term behaviour change.
Outside of work, Shankar is a budding novelist and a beginner guitarist. His family, however, remains unconvinced of either venture.
