A decade of IT Experience
A creative powerhouse with a severe addiction to Iced Teas and an allergy to mediocrity. Neeta Shankar, founder of Neeta Shankar Photography Pvt Ltd and Ember & Ink, transitioned from being an R&D Engineer to a professional photographer in 2012. She is a national brand ambassador for Godox and a Nikon mentor apart from many other photography brands like Vanguard, NiSi, Datacolor to name a few. Her Wedding and Portrait Photography venture is now one of the leading names in the industry. Neeta also conducts photography workshops in some jaw-dropping locations like Iceland, Ladakh, Cambodia, and so on! It’s like she’s living her best Indiana Jones life – swapping the fedora for a camera bag! Talk about wearing many hats (and probably making them look good too). Now, with Ember & Ink, Neeta’s taking all that camera-wielding, brand-building, mentor-ing goodness and serving it up to help other businesses shine online.
Cricket-crazy Foodie Extraordinaire and a Metabolic Marvel! A decade deep in the IT game, Varun Giridhara brings not just expertise, but a fire for tech, filmmaking, and spinning captivating content. Alongside Neeta, he launched Ember & Ink with a mission: to rescue promising businesses from the depths of online obscurity with the power of visual storytelling, showcasing their products and services in a way that cuts through the noise. Forget coffee, Varun runs on cricket! He eats, sleeps, and breathes the sport. Rumor has it there isn’t a single sport he isn’t good at. Tennis? He’s ace. Cricket? He’s a hit. Basketball? He slam dunks. Heck, if competitive napping were a sport, he’d probably snag the gold medal in that too. A certified foodie with a metabolism that defies the laws of physics. This guy can devour a feast fit for a king and still look like he’s on a juice cleanse.

Straight from the horse’s mouth (if horses could tweet). Here are some of our clients spilling the beans on how Ember & Ink turned their online presence from #meh2magnificent.
Working with Neeta and Varun has been a delight. We had to re-design our pre-school website and they did a great job in understanding our requirements and came up with a beautiful, responsive, and user-friendly WordPress website. They made the website look modern to match the current design trends. They have also been helping us make posters for our social media channels and the posters they have made for marketing really do make a “statement”!
Chaitra Sridhar
I have had a truly amazing experience working with Neeta and Varun on creating a website and promoting my new design venture via Instagram and other social media. Their dedication to the project was truly outstanding and this showed in the quality of the materials produced. In particular, their photography was superb that really enhanced the nuances of my requirements. They are so personable and easy to work with that made the whole experience even more satisfying. I should also add their attention to detail was simply awesome and they never rushed through the tasks at hand. They far exceeded my expectations and I am very thankful for their thoughtful and thorough launch of my website and increasing the social presence of my venture. I strongly recommend their services and know that, like me, you will be very pleased with their outcomes. All the best to Neeta and Varun as they propel forward!
Deepika Reddy
Neeta has done an amazing job with the photography for my brand, she takes so much effort in capturing every smallest detail of the product. Neeta and Varun are a very talented, professional, and helpful team. Apart from the beautiful photography, they have given a brand new facelift to my Instagram and Facebook page, along with handling my entire social media marketing so smoothly. They have also designed my website and I’m very happy with the outcome. They are a perfect combination – Varun takes care of the technical aspect, while Neeta has a sharp aesthetic sense. Thank you team and wish you guys good luck!!!!

At the beginning of their diversified venture, Ember & Ink (then, Social STMT) approached us with an offer to take up rebranding of our online business and to chart a course for a robust online presence and growth. This was a time when we had low budgets and were making do with freelancers, lacking direction and energy. 5 years since, we have not looked back working with Neeta and Varun. We have a complete sync of thoughts and actions, be it creating fresh content, preparing ad campaigns and showcasing new areas of growth. They are now an inextricable partner in our business supporting us with new ideas, technology and capability….while being cost effectiveness. Happy to be partnering with E & I in the coming years.
