The Inspire Greatness Podcast - Featuring Abhishek Shankar

Matt Tenney Season 5 Episode 2

In this episode of Inspire Greatness, we welcome Abhishek Shankar—CEO of Emids and a leading voice in AI‑driven digital transformation across the global health and life sciences ecosystem. 

With more than two decades of experience scaling technology organizations, driving enterprise modernization, and leading large‑scale digital transformation, Abhishek brings a rare blend of strategic clarity, engineering depth, and purpose‑driven leadership. 

Before joining Emids, he held senior leadership roles at Tech Mahindra and HCL, where he shaped industry‑wide strategies around AI, software‑defined innovation, and digital engineering.

In this conversation, Abhishek shares three powerful strategies for inspiring greatness in your team: 

  1. Put employees first so they can put customers first, creating a culture where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to deliver exceptional work.
  2. Invest in relationships that go beyond the contract, because trust, partnership, and genuine connection drive long‑term success far more than transactions ever will.
  3. Embrace the mindset that you are always a work in progress, modeling humility, curiosity, and continuous growth so your team feels safe to evolve alongside you.
