SharePoint & Microsoft 365 Consultant · Team Lead · Writer
Darshana Somani is a SharePoint and Microsoft 365 consultant with over 11 years of hands-on enterprise experience. She leads a team of 12 engineers delivering enterprise-scale M365 implementations for Fortune-level clients across multiple geographies. Based in Ahmedabad, India, she serves organizations across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.
In 2014, Darshana Somani took on her first SharePoint development role. While most developers at that stage treat SharePoint as a configuration exercise, she went deeper. She learned the architecture. She understood why document libraries behave the way they do. She figured out how permissions cascade, where metadata models break, and what happens when you push the platform beyond its comfortable defaults. That depth became her signature.
Over seven years, she progressed from developer to lead developer to the person clients asked for by name. Not because she was the loudest in the room. Because when a migration stalled at 60%, she was the one who diagnosed the content mapping failure in the first week. When an intranet launched to tumbleweeds, she was the one who redesigned the information architecture around how employees actually worked. When Power Automate workflows broke silently on a Friday night, she was the one who had already set up monitoring before anyone noticed.
"I don't build what technology makes possible. I build what the business actually needs. The right solution is often the simplest one."
The turning point came when she was shortlisted by top firms across India and overseas, then hired as an Application Development Team Lead, managing a 12-member team delivering enterprise-scale SharePoint and Microsoft 365 implementations for some of the world's largest organizations. Multi-geography rollouts. Compliance-heavy environments. Integrations with legacy systems that predated some of her team members.
Today, Darshana operates at the intersection of deep technical expertise and strategic business thinking. She doesn't just configure SharePoint. She architects digital workplaces. She doesn't just build Power Automate flows. She eliminates entire categories of manual work. She doesn't just deliver projects. She transfers knowledge so that clients become self-sufficient long after the engagement ends.
Her approach is direct: understand the business problem first, then choose the right technology to solve it. That philosophy has guided over 50 enterprise projects across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and education, serving clients in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.
When you work with Darshana, you get the person on the strategy call, the person writing the architecture, and the person who can get into the code when things get technical. One brain. One point of contact. Zero handoffs.
Every engagement starts with understanding what the business actually needs. The right solution often isn't the most technically impressive. It's the one that solves the problem with the least complexity and the most durability.
The person on the strategy call is the person writing the architecture and the person who gets into the code. That continuity means faster decisions and accountability that never gets diluted.
A project isn't done when the solution goes live. It's done when the client's team can operate, maintain, and extend it independently. Documentation and training are core deliverables, not afterthoughts.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price proposals before work begins. Weekly progress updates. No hidden costs. No scope creep billing. Finishing efficiently is in both parties' interest.

Outside of SharePoint and Microsoft 365, Darshana is a passionate writer who brings the same clarity and structure to prose as she does to information architecture. She believes the ability to communicate clearly is the most underrated technical skill, and she carries that belief into every client interaction, every document, and every training session.
She is an advocate for women in technology, believing that visibility and representation matter as much as technical skill. Her journey from developer to enterprise team lead is a testament to what happens when deep expertise meets strategic positioning. She didn't wait for opportunities to find her. She built the presence that made them inevitable.
Based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, Darshana works with organizations across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. Most engagements run entirely remotely. Microsoft 365 consulting is inherently cloud-based, making remote delivery seamless regardless of geography.
