You can bet your MONEY on his BRANDING since this man has a serious affair ongoing with branding. He thinks of it like breathing and existing

I found this through a friend and honestly loved the simple, clear approach to branding. It made me think differently about how I present my work.

Through Shashank’s webinars, I finally understood how branding works. He explains it in such a clear and practical way that it became easy for me to apply it to my own journey.

Shashank is THE man for branding.. love his work, his knowledge and his newsletter around branding.. he's the one I reach out to whenever I need help with branding for any of my projects..

I found you on social media , your ads where up to the point.found then really relatable. It's has became my daily ritual To read your blogs , now I know what is real branding exactly means.

I have known Shashank since his rotary club days and was always a fan of his story telling. I have learnt quite a few things from him on networking and branding. Plus he's doing a great job on the newsletter thing!

I know Shashank through LinkedIn, and later we worked together at Guvi. It was a great experience working with him, and I always appreciated his straightforward opinions on what works and what doesn't. No gimmicks.

Initially, I used to think YouTube as my teacher, LinkedIn as my teacher's husband and Instagram as their naughty useless kid, but now I found my real well wishers. Your newsletter and Reddit.

Shashank has become my go-to for branding. I really value his no-nonsense approach. He’s brutally honest, tells you what you need to hear, and that’s what drives results. He genuinely cares about helping you grow and always keeps it real.

Shashank's branding experience goes beyond just aligning the brand's logo or visual identity. He knows the crux of brand psychology - how people perceive, connect with, and stay loyal to a brand, which is why his work consistently drives lasting impact.

Shashank is the name that comes to my mind when I think about Branding! He is someone who has built 11 businesses and applied branding in his own and hence there’s no person to talk about branding than him! I read his newsletter everyday! Learning a lot!

Shashank is a creative and strategic Brand Manager with a great eye for detail. He knows how to balance branding, storytelling, and business goals while keeping everything consistent. Easy to work with, approachable, and full of fresh ideas – he truly adds value to any brand.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Sashank and have consistently been impressed by his depth of knowledge and strategic thinking in branding. His creativity, combined with strong business acumen, makes him an invaluable asset for any organisation looking to build or scale its brand presence.

We have been travelling with Shashank for more then a decade. He is our brand consultant. One who analyze what is needed exactly for your brand. Such a friendly human to work. His idea for branding shows he is really different from others. One special thing his small changes make a big & Good impact in your branding.

I’m Vengadesh, a freelance brand designer and strategist. After meeting Shashank, I started seeing my business, client business in a new way. His advice gave me clarity, and his newsletter is full of useful tips that really help beginners like me. Shashank shares knowledge that is simple, practical, and very valuable.

I had attended his branding workshop, and I should say that it was really a wonderful experience learning from him. I'm someone who has already been in the industry for 6 years now, and still there was something new; a new perspective, a new concept; a new thought process that one can learn from it. I'll highly recommend Shashank for anything related to Branding & Strategy.

I’ve had multiple conversations with Shashank around branding and the design aspects of products and businesses in general. What stands out is his ability to understand branding and storytelling at a very deep, almost “4-inch” level, a rare skill to find. His perspective is practical, fresh, and always cuts through the noise. On top of that, his newsletter editions are pure gold.

Most important quality of the brander is to understand the brand world and be sensitive about it. Shashank is very sensitive brander , I would say. I still remember, He was handling a ( X ) brand's women's coding challenge and he renamed "Challange" into "Movement". It's a very sensitive word in particular context. I can't say better example than this. I learnt "Sensitivity" from him. I would call him as "Sensitive Shashank".

Hi, we humans have an innate sense to see whether a human actually has the depth of knowledge or he/she is faking it. Within a few secs into the call - I could sense he is a genius & an experienced one who has handled brands in different season (from 0 to 1, 1-100) and that comes across when you ask him a question. I am trupy grateful to the universe that our paths crossed. And the cherry on the top is he is a fun & a good human.

Hi, I'm Balaji Ram, I know you from Rotaract I have been following you since from the start of stupidprenuer. I never seen a branding guy other than you mostly so that's makes you the only branding guy I follow also I follow your newsletter. Even though I won't read every single one but I read whenever I got the notification and get some value from it. It gave me a simple reading habit and also inspired me to post contents on linkedin for some time.

I am Venkat Ramanan from Techo Virish Software Solution. When I first heard Shashank’s ideas, I thought they were unconventional. But those very ideas turned out to be the most effective and impactful. He has an incredible ability to transform unique thoughts into actionable strategies. Shashank is truly the best person to guide anyone in building a brand. His step-by-step approach to branding makes the journey clear, practical, and result-driven.

This workshop was an absolute game-changer! I walked in with a scattered idea of my brand and walked out with complete clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to stand out. The session was not just informative but deeply engaging and practical — every activity felt like a breakthrough moment. I can already see how the tools and strategies I learned will transform the way I present myself and connect with my audience. Truly one of the best investments I’ve made in my growth!

I found Shashank on LinkedIn as someone writing newsletters and running a few businesses. When I first met him, it didn’t feel like meeting a stranger. Whenever I ask about branding, it’s never a "session" - it’s always a reality check. He casually spills branding beans that fit your context. No sugarcoating, just brutal truth bombs and clear direction. For any branding-related queries or concerns, I’d recommend Shashank for pure value. He's someone who speaks from his experience; that makes him stand out than others.

Shashank has an impressive understanding of branding and how it connects with business goals. His insights always add a lot of value to the process, and he has a clear vision for what works and what doesn’t. Collaborating with him has been an easy and smooth experience for our team because he communicates ideas well, respects timelines, and makes sure we’re aligned at every stage. Working with Shashank not only makes the project efficient but also more enjoyable, as his approach brings both clarity and creativity to the table

“You have a lot to share. Why not start a newsletter?” That one nudge from Shashank SN in a casual conversation is what pushed me to start writing Inside The Build. Beyond just sparking the idea, Shashank has been a constant support in shaping my raw thoughts into something structured and valuable for others. He didn’t just encourage me to write — he challenged me to think deeper, to question assumptions, and to make this newsletter more useful for founders and builders. Grateful for that push. This wouldn’t have started without him.

Shashank is one of the sharpest minds I’ve worked with when it comes to branding. He has a rare ability (truly) to look at a business and immediately see how its brand impacts growth, trust, and customer perception. His insights are always clear, actionable, and rooted in real business value rather than just surface-level design. I’ve personally seen him transform the way people think about their businesses with just a few conversations. If you’re serious about building a brand that truly moves the needle, Shashank is the person you want by your side.

As a VFX Producer at Fix it in Post Studios, I’m constantly surrounded by creators and entrepreneurs who are building things from scratch. What makes Shashank’s work at Stupidpreneur stand out is his ability to break down complex, often messy entrepreneurial lessons into stories that actually stick. His raw honesty about failures and pivots is refreshing in a world obsessed with highlight reels. Every edition of his newsletter feels like a conversation with a friend who’s been through the grind and isn’t afraid to share the unfiltered truth. It’s insightful, practical, and above all—real.

Shashank brings a rare mix of creativity and strategic thinking in how the brand connects with the audience. Shashank can help to translate organisation's core values into a clean, minimal, and timeless design language. What stood out was his ability to deeply listen, ask the right questions, and challenge us to think beyond trends. His branding process is well-structured, collaborative, and always backed with rationale making decisions easier and faster. He can also give inputs on content positioning and storytelling that can help brands to build a stronger presence. If you're looking for someone who understands business impact, Shashank is someone you’d want to reach out.

Hi Shashank, I am a product designer with 5+ years of corporate experience and now running my own freelancing business. Your newsletter came to me as a blessing. Since today morning, I have been trying to figure out why a client didn't agree to work with me. Thoughts - Did I say something wrong? Did they not like the design? Am I asking for too much money? Later in the evening, I even picked a few spiritual books which I also go to when in trouble. And the conclusion I got was - Share your gift with the world. And your gift will follow. And I opened my laptop to design a one-pager website for the same client to show her the demo. And I opened the inbox to read through the mail again. And found your newsletter instead - which solidified the belief that I must show her the proof and give it for free at least one -pager if the deal doesn't pan out. Keeping those lessons & messy stories coming to our inbox. You have found a loyal follower of your newsletter today. P.S - feel free to take a screenshot of this mail & post it on social media for promotion. Regards,
