Paresh Shankar, Managing Director
Paresh began his career with a B.Eng. in Internet Engineering from Aston University. He soon realised that there was something more to life than the typical 9 to 5 routine. He started to combine his creative style of marketing with his knowledge of ground breaking technology to produce revolutionary ideas in the field of personal development. His fascination with human potential and self discovery enables him to add an intuitive touch to technology and marketing solutions.
“I was inspired by Srinivas Arka, and a yearning to follow my dreams and passions. You see, I’d asked myself the same question over and over again. “Am I meant to do something more, to pursue a life where I can make a difference ?” I thought about going for it many times.
It was a big jump for me, I’d become used to my way of life, my own box of security, but I made the decision. I handed it in, it was the end of the 9-5 routine. For me it wasn’t just a resignation letter, it was an opportunity to concentrate on the bigger vision, to work on companies such as Mgya Media and Stenocara. A chance to co-create and innovate platforms that help to create the well-being of people, communities and the planet.”
Vinay Shankar, Managing Director
With a background in Medicine and Philosophy from Kings College London, Vinay is able to add diversity to the marketing arena. His pursuit to inspire others, fused with his passion for writing, enables him to reach out to people effectively.
He gathers his inspiration from nature. This allows him to pioneer effective business and marketing strategies that are not only continuously evolving; but are also powerful, smart and eminent. Vinay believes that we have reached a time when the economy will be guided by the concept of natural capital.
“I consider myself lucky, from a young age I’d been introduced to inspirational gifts. Exceptional people, motivational books and meditational techniques gave me the guidance I wanted and needed. I had a plan where I wanted to go in life but deep down I always wanted to do more, I wanted more people to reach their potential and be inspired, not just momentarily but inspiration that stayed with them, that which changed their life.
The teachings of Srinivas Arka had been that difference in my life and with his support my wish to empower others had taken form in Mgya Media. To me this isn’t just a company, I like to see it as a star in the night sky. Something which is not just an individual effort, but working with others to be that inspiration when they need it”
