In this episode of the Inspire Greatness Podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with Abhishek Shankar, the inspiring CEO of Emids, a global leader in AI‑led digital transformation across the health and life sciences ecosystem.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Nashville, Emids delivers cutting‑edge AI‑driven solutions across digital strategy, design, and engineering.
The company builds human‑centered digital experiences, scalable platforms, and interoperable systems that help payers, providers, biopharma, med‑tech, and health‑tech organizations advance the future of health.
Their mission is singular and ambitious: to accelerate meaningful transformation in one of the world’s most complex industries.
Abhishek brings more than two decades of experience leading large‑scale technology modernization and innovation.
Before joining Emids, he held senior leadership roles at Tech Mahindra and HCL, where he shaped global strategies around AI, software‑defined innovation, and digital engineering.
He is deeply passionate about solving complex problems for healthcare organizations and creating sustainable, human‑centered outcomes that improve care.
During the conversation, Abhishek discussed his three proven methods for inspiring greatness in team members:
- Put employees first so they can put customers first, creating a culture where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to deliver exceptional work.
- Invest in relationships that go beyond the contract, because trust, partnership, and genuine connection drive long‑term success far more than transactions ever will.
- 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.
Tune in to be inspired by Abhishek’s wisdom and passion!
