Shailendra Abhyankar

Shailendra Abhyankar is the Founder & CEO of FinSoftAi, where he is building AI-driven Social Sentiment Insights (SSi) to help investors and traders gain early insights into market-moving narratives from global news and social media — providing a potential edge in making more timely, winning investment and trading decisions.

SSi ingests data from over 80,000 news sources and investor communities such as Reddit, Stocktwits and BlueSky, applying advanced machine learning to quantify sentiment, social buzz, and data quality signals around publicly traded companies. These insights are combined with price momentum and are actively used in live trading strategies, creating an iterative feedback loop between AI-driven insights and market execution to improve signal relevance and win-loss ratios over time. A key objective is improving the signal-to-noise ratio in information flows to surface actionable insights.

Earlier in his career, Shailendra led Innovation Centers for Bank of New York Mellon in India. He earlier served as Managing Director at SunGard (now FIS), where he led the development of several products across Capital Markets, Asset Management, and Wealth Management, and at Tata Consultancy Services, where he led their Global Delivery Center in Budapest, Hungary.

Shailendra is an Electrical Engineer from IISc Bangalore and has completed the Executive Leadership Program from Cornell University.
