SUNNYVALE, CA, August 21, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Shubhada Zunjarwad has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Zunjarwad's professional journey of more than 20 years and counting reflects a remarkable evolution from technology leadership to creative entrepreneurship. She is the founder and owner of ANFS Studio — established in Sunnyvale, California, in November 2025 — an inclusive art studio that welcomes participants of all ages. In her leadership role, she plans and oversees art classes and workshops, ensures her studios are fully equipped, and documents each session through photography and video for social media engagement.
Through this work, Ms. Zunjarwad actively connects with prospective students and their families, offering guidance and fostering a supportive environment. ANFS Studio features two dedicated spaces: one for young children and another for those aged 8 and above, including adults. Quickly making an impact throughout the Sunnyvale community, she has become recognized as an expert in team building and creating a safe space where everyone can participate in art activities.
A highlight of Ms. Zunjarwad's tenure with ANFS Studio came when she hosted a workshop at the Sunnyvale Public Library on January 6, 2026. The event drew 40 children and their parents, with her students volunteering to assist both peers and younger participants. Many adult students also contributed support, exemplifying the community values that remain central to the studio's mission. Building on this success, she continues to collaborate with organizations such as the Sunnyvale Public Library, Sunnyvale Community Center and non-profits like Color Me Curious to expand access to art education through workshops tailored to diverse audiences.
Before establishing her own business, Ms. Zunjarwad excelled as a senior technical product manager at Starbucks Coffee Company in Seattle from 2021 to 2025.

From 2019 to 2020, Ms. Zunjarwad worked as a senior product manager at the tech start-up Element Analytics in San Francisco. Reporting directly to the founder and vice president of product, she played a pivotal role as the company's second product manager. Her efforts focused on helping the startup scale from Series A to Series B funding by acquiring new customers, onboarding them effectively and implementing impactful product marketing strategies.
Earlier in her career, Ms. Zunjarwad served a significant tenure at Microsoft from 2006 to 2019 across roles in Redmond, Washington, and Hyderabad, India. Initially joining the company as a senior software design engineer in test, she contributed to products such as Microsoft Office, Skype and Windows Live Hotmail for five years before transitioning into product management for an additional eight years. This shift allowed her to work more closely with customers and focus on the broader aspects of product development beyond software engineering, including go-to-market strategies for Microsoft Office on Android devices and support integrations for major external partners.
Ms. Zunjarwad began her professional path as a software design engineer at Varolii Corporation in the Greater Seattle Area from 2005 to 2006 after completing her graduate studies.

Hailing from an equally accomplished academic background, Ms. Zunjarwad earned a Master of Science in computer science from Old Dominion University in 2005 and a bachelor's degree in computer science from Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT) in 2002. Dedicated to the ideals of continuous learning, she was certified in product management in 2020 and has completed LinkedIn courses spanning business plan creation, communication skills, data analytics and leadership foundations.
Reflecting on her storied journey to date, Ms. Zunjarwad attributes her adaptability and resourcefulness to growing up in a family where each member pursued different academic disciplines. With three sisters and one brother who all followed varied educational paths, she learned early on how to navigate diverse perspectives — an experience that has shaped her ability to solve problems creatively throughout every stage of her career.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Ms. Zunjarwad is committed to civic engagement through volunteer efforts. She regularly leads free workshops at the Sunnyvale Public Library, extending opportunities for artistic exploration within the community. Her exemplary service has seen her recognized through several accolades including being featured as an Influential Woman in July 2026, while ANFS Studio was honored with the Best of 2026 Creative Arts Award from ActivityHero Inc.
In her personal life, Ms. Zunjarwad is happily married and the proud mother of one son, who is 15 years old as of 2026. She is also a dog parent to a furry buddy named Bella, who is four. As a balance to her professional and civic endeavors, she enjoys spending creative time with her family, making art, cooking, socializing with friends and exercising at the gym.
Looking toward the future, Ms. Zunjarwad envisions ANFS Studio becoming a vibrant hub throughout Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County and beyond where artists of all ages can connect across disciplines and backgrounds.
