Ananya Shankar

Ananya is a Senior Account Executive at Bottle, working across clients in the travel insurance and energy sectors. Her role blends executing strategies, staying on top of journalists’ inboxes, handling day-to-day client needs, and keeping projects moving forward with focus and care

Her favourite thing about working in PR is that no two days are ever the same. According to her, the unpredictability keeps things lively and it also gives her the chance to keep learning as she goes.

Before joining Bottle, Ananya was a lifestyle and film journalist, whose days involved transcribing interviews and chasing down sources. After the pandemic, she moved to the UK looking for a new direction, and found that PR was a natural fit for her skills and interests.

Outside work, Ananya thrives on routine. Her evenings are usually a mix of reading, cooking and long-distance phone calls with people back home. She also has a soft spot for horror and thriller films and can be found hunched over her laptop watching those.

A creature of habit by nature, she’s known for going to impressive lengths to keep things exactly the way she likes them
