About

I spent years behind research reports, building models, tracking markets, and writing analyses for institutions. Even with all that experience, managing my own finances wasn’t always straightforward. I wanted the same thing most professionals do: financial clarity, flexibility, and the freedom to choose how I live and work. So I applied what I knew, did research carefully, consistently and built a plan that allowed me to step away from full-time work at 45.
 That experience changed everything. But I kept hearing from friends, family, professionals who felt lost when it came to their own finances. They where looking for someone who would sit down, understand their life, and help them make smart decisions with their money. That’s when I shifted to Financial Advisory. Today, as a SEBI Registered Investment Advisor (RIA NO: INA000017505), I work one-on-one with people who want calm, unbiased financial advice. Whether it’s planning for retirement, understanding investments, or figuring out if they’re on the right path. I help bring structure and clarity to their financial life. I don’t sell products. I don’t push trends. I focus on what’s right for you, using research-backed thinking and simple, honest conversations. If you’re trying to make sense of your finances and want a reliable advisor who listens, explains, and puts your interest first, I’d be glad to help. 📩 Email me at contact@shankark.com or book a call at shankark.com/call
