Briefly me...

Born in India in a middle class family and raised in a small town and a mid-city, I am a permanent resident of Singapore for the past twenty years. My life’s journey has taken me to three schools, three colleges, three companies, three countries and three professions. I have three siblings and we are a family of three. It also happens that I have three interests and writing is one of them. Three is a mere coincidence, not my special number!

I am happy and fortunate to have had the chance to study at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, a great school that deserves more global recognition. Worked at some of the best corporations in India and globally and in very interesting roles.

My professional career includes 25 years of classic corporate experience, about 10 years of teaching and now 12 years as an entrepreneur, the last two somewhat in parallel.

My writing interests include business, marketing, global economy, personal development and music. If you find any of my writings interesting or even resonating with your thoughts or experiences, I will be delighted to connect with you and know your views. Please reach me at shankar.bala.s@gmail.com any day, any time.

One of my interests is Indian classical and film music, where I dabble with some singing, some writing and plenty of listening and analysis. For various reasons, I have kept those works separate. If you have interest in reading my writings on that subject, please visit click here.
