About Me

BIO

Hi, I’m Shashank Shekhar — a communicator, storyteller, and strategist driven by curiosity, purpose, and a deep belief in the power of words.

For over 17 years, I’ve worked at the crossroads of journalism, technology, and public interest. My journey has taken me from being a passionate reporter to becoming a communication consultant, building impactful campaigns, launching platforms, and shaping narratives that inform, engage, and inspire.

I specialize in strategic communication, media planning, digital storytelling, cyber awareness, PR, and content creation. Whether it’s breaking down complex cybersecurity threats, managing crisis communication, building a brand voice, or curating public-facing campaigns, I focus on clarity, creativity, and connection.

As the Co-founder of the Future Crime Research Foundation (FCRF), I help develop tech-driven solutions to fight cybercrime, build awareness, and support law enforcement through capacity-building programs.

I also lead content, communication, and PR at CloudSEK, a global cybersecurity company, where I translate threat intelligence into stories that matter — for clients, media, and the wider world.

I’ve built news platforms, led awareness initiatives, conducted interviews, designed policy-focused whitepapers, and organized conferences and community campaigns. My core strength lies in turning information into insight and insight into action.

I’m also a mentor, photographer, and lifelong learner — constantly exploring how storytelling, technology, and trust can build a safer, smarter digital future.

Having worked with leading newsrooms like India Today, Hindustan Times, PTI, Mid-Day, and Asianet, I bring investigative depth, strategic storytelling, and digital-first communication to every project I take on. My experience spans crafting impactful thought leadership, uncovering cybercrime stories, and leading high-impact PR and awareness campaigns.

Driven by purpose and powered by curiosity, I use content and communication as tools to inform, influence, and inspire action. Let’s connect and collaborate on shaping the future of cybersecurity, digital risk, and meaningful storytelling.

Beyond the Headlines

It all started with a notebook, a press card, and a curiosity for stories that hid between headlines. From chasing leads on the street to building platforms that decode digital threats, my journey has been anything but linear — and that’s what makes it exciting. Over the years, I’ve moved from reporting front-page exclusives to crafting communication strategies for cybersecurity firms, designing awareness campaigns, and leading digital initiatives that reach millions.

What stayed constant? The storyteller’s instinct — to ask why, to simplify the complex, and to make people care.

I’ve worked in war rooms, newsrooms, and boardrooms, often switching between the roles of a writer, planner, mentor, and problem-solver. Whether it’s shaping public narratives around cyber safety or helping organizations find their authentic voice, I believe powerful stories don’t just inform — they protect, empower, and drive change.

Every project I take on is an extension of that belief.
