I am a Positivist. I am optimistic, hopeful, positive, and would like to share the same feelings with others around me. My passion is about connecting with people and being a Life coach.

Does that mean I always keep my calm?
NO... Positivist means that there is a conscious effort to keep a trend of positive thoughts and acknowledging negative thoughts to bring back that energy!

A father to two unschooled children, I am proud of my chosen way of life in the journey of living creatively. I'm an art curator and a founder of an Art Technology Company called Jumbish Creations Pvt. Ltd.

I'm very keen to take the path which is not typical in the society and has lived my life exploring and learning through out. I believed in the power of our mind and passion.

Though educated in a conventional education system, I and my wife decided to give the freedom of choice and thought to our kids and both of them are being unschooled/homeschooled.

My key approach for us is in collaboration and moving ahead together with others.

While people and their thoughts fascinate me, my long stint in the Technology world helped me leverage technologies like IoT, blockchain, and social engineering in the art world. In our company Jumbish, we have introduced a very unique way to authenticate paintings using a microchip and maintaining the ownership history on the blockchain.

With a vast experience of 17 years in a corporate career, finishing as AVP of a Fortune 500 company. My entrepreneurial journey began as a director and COO of a Multispecialty Hospital where I learned from my failures.

Shankar is married to a highly effective and supportive homemaker who is also the backbone of the company, Jumbish Creations, handling key portfolios. They have two grown children, who are embarking on the journey of life in their ways. A teenage unschooled daughter who is a passionate dancer and gallerist and a younger homeschooled son who enjoys life in Soccer and is also a Youtuber.

Many people are not aware of the biker in me... As an avid biker, I completed 1600 kilometers in 27 hours. I have traveled extensively across the country as if they are just next door.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
