Why Work With Me
Shekhar is that rare strategic leader who doesn’t just direct but transforms teams. As Chief Strategy Officer at dentsu India's Media Business, he took over a strategy team that had been without leadership for some time—and within months, rebuilt it into a powerhouse of consumer-centric thinking and innovation. His ‘client-out’ (never agency-in) approach ensured strategies were rooted in business impact, not just media metrics. What stands out is how he leads: empowering people, bridging gaps between data and creativity, and always pushing for solutions that balance brand-building with performance. Whether it’s his obsession with consumer insights or his ability to simplify complex challenges for clients, Shekhar operates at the intersection of sharp business acumen and genuine people leadership. A mentor I would highly recommend to anyone in the industry.
It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Shekhar, a remarkable professional whose expertise in the Chinese market is nothing short of exceptional. Having worked closely with Shekhar on several projects, I have been consistently impressed by his deep understanding of China's unique business environment and cultural nuances. Shekhar's strategic approach to Dell China's small business sector stands out as a testament to his outstanding capabilities. He possesses a rare combination of technical knowledge and market insight, allowing him to identify and leverage media touchpoints effectively, ensuring Dell's message resonates with the local audience. His ability to stay ahead of market trends and identify opportunities has been instrumental in Dell's success in the region. Shekhar's strategies are not only data-driven but also creatively adapted to meet the evolving needs of the Chinese market. His contributions have led to significant growth and enhanced brand presence for Dell China.
Shekhar is a strategist and a story teller. He is passionate with his wins and celebrates the good with the bad. He is likeable and very likely that you will love talking to him due to his constantly curious nature. A random conversation could lead to a sharp insight which unleashes an amazing idea. Buy him a drink and you will discover great ideas and good conversations.
