I work at the intersection of digital trust, identity systems, and public infrastructure—helping design inclusive, interoperable frameworks that enable trustworthy data exchange at scale. I focus on building open standards-based platforms, such as verifiable credentials, tokenized registries, and decentralized trust layers, that power public services, digital governance, and new economic models. My work supports governments, multilaterals, and enterprises exploring Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), Web3 governance frameworks, and data portability across ecosystems. I'm passionate about creating infrastructure that centres people, not platforms. I believe transparency, verifiability, and interoperability are the foundations for trustworthy digital systems. If you work on public infrastructure, identity systems, or open ecosystems, I'd love to connect with you and explore what's next. email: sankarshan@pobox.com | sankarshan@dhiway.com

I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of business, governance, and technology—where real impact happens. At my core, I’m a sensemaker, problem solver, and connector—helping organizations bring people, business, technology, and governance together in smarter ways. I started Veridient, because the world of digital business networks and digital identity is complex and it requires independent experts who can help make sense of it. That’s where my strength is – cutting through complexity across all the layers, making things clear, and turning big ideas into real, working solutions. I have worked extensively with large customers and ecosystems from governments, public sector, financial services, healthcare, retail and travel industries. I have helped them reduce risks, create clear policy-aligned solutions by crafting scalable ecosystem designs, architecting new solutions, and leading strategically important ecosystems. I have special expertise in the decentralized identity domain, especially the EU Digital Identity Wallet ecosystem and its underlying eIDAS regulation. Here are some of the wide range of tasks I’ve been working on lately: trust infrastructure design, ecosystem business value modelling, ecosystem adoption strategy, ecosystem architecture design, design and development of rulebooks, technical specifications and implementation guides. I’m building Veridient into a leader in digital business networks. I work with organizations who want to maximise the value of digital ecosystems and future-proof their digital identity strategies. If that’s something you care about too, let’s connect and make it happen.
