Shakthi founded CuriousWorks in 2005. His first initiative was The Migrant Project. From 2005-2007, The Migrant Project involved 40 Sydneysiders with cultural and artistic ancestries from across the globe, and was a series of live performances and forums, garnering an audience of just over 2,000 people. Shakthi is in the final stages of a feature film and interactive DVD that will conclude the project.

His second initiative is All Around You. All Around You is system for using digital media in a simple, positive, lasting manner in marginalised communities.

Currently the system is being developed through 3 year partnerships in two regions: Western Sydney (urban) and the Pilbara, Western Australia (remote). In early 2010
All Around You will be available as a resource kit that will allow any organisation or group of individuals to implement it in their own community.

Shakthi also writes and produces his own music under the moniker ASI.
