Let’s start in the past. No-one knows where and when Avani was born. It’s a mystery many set out to solve but were never heard from again. What everyone does know is that she was born a genius, because that’s what she tells everyone. As a child, she was small. Then, a lot of things happened and she grew up. Then she started working, and after more things happened, she started a career in marketing. Eventually, she found Shashank and they went around looking at birds and trees and bugs. Then they quit their jobs and named their company after a mammal that eats ants. It made sense to them.

Back to the present. She does the creative stuff at Pangolin. Sometimes people think she’s surprised, but she isn’t. Her eyes are just that big naturally. Her excellent marketing acumen becomes instantly clear to anyone who reads her bio, which is devoid of any mention of work experience or career achievements.

If you run into her in person, offer her ginger tea to calm her down.

Let’s start in the past. If you told Shashank when he was a child that one day he would be telling companies how to run their show, he would totally believe you. His ego has only grown larger over the years. After awarding himself with several degrees, certificates, and awards because no-one else would, he set out to take the world of marketing by storm and rise to the top. Give it some time, it could still happen, anything is possible. One fortuitous day he met Avani and they rode around on his motorcycle for a bit because he thinks it’s cool and he never learned to drive a car. Some years later she said something about starting a company but he wasn’t listening and kept nodding his head, so here we are now.

Back to the present. He does the analytical stuff at Pangolin. His major skills include playing with puppies, speaking non-stop without letting anyone get a word in, and successfully living in India whilst having no interest in cricket.
