Most data teams are excellent at extraction and transformation. But when it comes to translating those numbers into a narrative that business leaders can actually use. The connection breaks down. Zen Data Shastra was founded to bridge that exact gap.
Our journey began with Ankush Sharma. Having built his craft at Mu Sigma leading critical global accounts, Ankush mastered high-stakes analytics consulting, data-driven decision-making, and strategic storyboarding, building deep client relationships on one variable: unmatched client experience.
Later, at AB InBev, Ankush sat on the other side of the table as a client. Interacting with various services companies, he noticed a glaring gap. Very few partners could deliver data solutions with consistent quality, nuance, and a premium client experience.
That contrast crystallised into conviction. In 2018, alongside Debesh Das, our Head of Delivery and Day Zero partner, ZDS began as a gritty three-person team serving a single account. Today, we are a premier founder-led managed services firm of 50-100 data specialists, trusted by Fortune 100 companies.
