Shankar Sharma is the co-founder and Vice Chairman of First Global, an Indian financial services, securities, and research firm co-founded with Devina Mehra. He is one of the more outspoken and independent voices in Indian capital markets, known for making sharply contrarian calls on Indian equities, global macroeconomics, and emerging markets, often at variance with the mainstream consensus view. While not a traditional mutual fund manager, First Global operates primarily as a securities broking and quantitative investment management firm rather than as an AMFI-registered mutual fund house, Sharma has been a highly visible figure in Indian financial markets commentary for over three decades and has exerted influence on how institutional and sophisticated retail investors think about Indian and global equity markets.
