Shankar Prasad — Co-Founder
I’m a builder at heart, of brands, teams, and ideas. I began as a shopfloor engineer and worked across R&D, consulting and investing, before setting out on my own. As the founder of Plum and Plum BodyLovin’, I’ve spent the last several years scaling these purpose-led brands from the ground up, with a sharp focus on science, transparency, and delighting customers. I’m deeply hands-on across design, formulation, brand building, people, and performance.

My favourite discovery through this journey: chemistry, when done with heart, is magical! To be continued...
