The People Behind FinShark

A firm is only as good as the judgement behind it. Ours comes from three people who've spent their careers turning financial complexity into clear decisions.

Krishna Lankapati — Founder

Krishna built FinShark on one conviction: a business deserves a financial partner that drives growth, not one that just keeps the lights compliant. A Chartered Accountant with 14 years across financial advisory, business strategy, and client leadership, she sets the firm's standard — insight that goes well beyond the numbers on the page.

Pratik L. — Co-Founder

Pratik brings 14 years as both a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary to the firm's enterprise-level financial work. He's the bridge between baseline compliance and high-growth strategy, giving ambitious founders C-suite discipline before they can afford a C-suite. His strength is translating complex financial data into actionable blueprints for funding, scaling, and IPOs.

Sanket Desai — Chief Advisor

Sanket leads FinShark's wealth and risk division, drawing on a decade advising on insurance and investments inside the banking sector.
