With a distinguished career spanning global enterprise and innovation-led transformation, Shekhar Natarajan brings a rare combination of operational depth and forward-thinking perspective to the world of artificial intelligence. Having held senior leadership roles across organisations including Walmart, Target, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Disney, his experience sits at the intersection of scale, strategy and execution.

As Founder and CEO of Orchestro.ai, Shekhar is leading the development of AI systems designed not just for efficiency, but for responsibility, governance and long-term impact. His work centres around what he defines as “Angelic Intelligence” – a framework that challenges conventional narratives around AI by prioritising ethical design, human oversight and system-wide accountability.

With over 150 patents and global recognition for his contributions to AI and commerce, Shekhar’s approach moves beyond theory into practical application at scale. He focuses on how organisations can harness advanced technologies while maintaining alignment with human values, operational integrity and long-term outcomes.

Orchestro.ai proudly sponsored our March 2026 event at The Connaught, contributing to a day centred on connection, insight and the evolving relationship between technology and human judgement.
