Designing digital experiences and helping brands grow, I have fun in the process.
“His uncanny ability to see what’s to come, coupled with a deep curiosity to validate future successes and always search for the why. These qualities are the bread and butter of a long-term thinker. But his ability to take that vision and boil it down into actionable short term strategy, and flawlessly execute it with his entrepreneurial, creative, and forward-thinking mindset- now that’s rare. Shakya supplements that with his core positivity, honesty, and grit making him extraordinary. A proven gamechanger, molding the future to be whatever he sets his mind upon; always taking ownership and pushing the team forward. I wouldn’t be doing him any justice without mentioning his mentorship efforts, a talented teacher with a knack for storytelling, and a tinkerer at heart.”
What does the future of education look like for developing nations?
I had the opportunity to travel across the South-East Asian island of Sri Lanka, representing the Ministry of Education as their educational consultant. My experience was remarkable and I was given a raw & unfiltered window through which to witness what hundreds of teachers were doing for their students to push them towards not “college-readiness” but rather life-readiness. My findings are helping architecture the future of education in Sri Lanka, enabling thousands of students with ed-tech solutions to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Measurable results are the name of the game
Shakya was the lead role in establishishing the Boston University Center for Innovation, BUild Lab. He was brought in for his wealth of knowledge in founding startups and his natural ability to problem solve and build solutions. His impact is seen in the hundreds of student startups founded, core business development curriculum developed, and countless hours of mentorship bestowed to fellow students.

Getaround was looking to expand our operations in Boston and we were fielding for a firm that could assist us to develop a Go2Market strategy and help us in execution. We were reached out by Shakya, were greeted with a carefully constructed strategic road map on how we could best move forward. He instead went above and beyond, connecting us with local talent, and executed the project to fruition with results that otherwised seemed unrealistic without local grassroots efforts and assistance. We can't recommend his talent enough.
