PareshParesh Shankar, Founder
VinayVinay Shankar, Founder

Paresh began his career in Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology. He studied at Aston University where he received B.Eng in Internet Engineering. At an early age he saw seeds of opportunity in the digital arena, his passion for marketing, communication and innovation led him to take part in numerous projects before he came to be a part of the MGYA Media team.

Paresh’s unorthodox learning approach, entrepreneurial attitude and inspiration from Srinivas Arka enable him to explore and grow fields of opportunity that would normally be left covered by someone else. Paresh was motivated by his brother’s ambition to develop a company that specialised in innovation and marketing in the eco-ethical sphere. He joined the cause to use his talents to foster ecological, ethical and social change in the world.

Paresh says “…we’ll be honest; we don’t know all there is to know about eco-ethical innovation and marketing but we’re like nature. Constantly learning, adapting and evolving the way we do business with the world. We can work collectively, using your ideas and our skills to co-create change in the world. Now is an unprecedented time for individual to build connections, to build evolving communities that shape the way we work and play”

Vinay has a background in Medicine and Philosophy from Kings College London. He is currently undertaking postgraduate study in climate change and sustainability to increase his knowledge and expertise in fields such as sustainable development, energy analysis, and the impact of climate change on society.

Vinay’s interest in environmental and ethical issues began at a young age, he understood that the individual can make a big difference in the world. Vinay says “…that our choices create our world, we all have a shared responsibility to the world and its inhabitants.” These thoughts, goals and visions first took shape in the form of MGYA Media, a company inspired by Srinivas Arka. MGYA Media is an organisation which helps individuals reach their potential while enabling people to exhibit their unique thoughts, skills and talents to the world.

Vinay realised that environmental and ethical issues are the greatest challenges of the upcoming decade. Understanding the need for a specialist agency to tackle these issues with more than just a positive outlook, Vinay and his brother formed Stenocara. Vinay was greatly inspired by the story of a small beetle called Stenocara in the Namib Desert, particularly its ability and resourcefulness in dealing with the scorching desert conditions. This was the beginning of Stenocara. A company which Vinay hopes will integrate natural processes into business, innovation and marketing strategies while preserving nature. This is the story which led Vinay to seek opportunities to apply his unique marketing and innovative touch in the eco-ethical sphere.
