About the firm Cofounder-led · Family-founded
Who we are

Built on judgment.
Driven by outcomes.

Arshan Group is a boutique, cofounder-led consultancy built around two specialized practices: Healthcare & Life Sciences Advisory and SMB Data, Automation & AI. We serve distinct client groups through separate practice areas, with shared senior judgment, analytical rigor, and implementation discipline across the firm.

Principals

Two cofounders.
Two practices.

Each practice is led directly by a cofounder. Abbas leads Healthcare & Life Sciences Advisory; Sepantam leads SMB Data, Automation & AI. They cross over where senior judgment in one practice strengthens the work in the other.

A
Abbas Shojaee, MD, CHDA
Cofounder · Lead, Healthcare & Life Sciences Advisory

Two decades operating where causal inference, health economics, and real-world evidence intersect — at scale, and in the rooms where evidence becomes strategy. Post-doctoral training in HEOR at Yale; applied work spanning academia, industry, and submission-grade evidence programs.

Within Arshan Group, Abbas leads all Healthcare & Life Sciences engagements directly. He also advises selected SMB engagements where senior strategic, analytical, economic, or healthcare-domain judgment is useful.

Sepantam Shojaee
Cofounder · Lead, SMB Data, Automation & AI

Implementation lead across multi-source data pipelines, NLP enrichment, CRM intelligence, executive reporting, and AI-integrated automation — built directly for owners and operators of growing businesses. Comfortable in the production reality where systems have to keep running without supervision.

Within Arshan Group, Sepantam leads all SMB engagements directly. He also contributes to selected healthcare advisory engagements led by Abbas — bringing the same pipeline and automation discipline to scaled evidence work.

We are lean by design. Depth over breadth. The work is done directly by the principal who scoped it, supported where useful by a small network of specialist collaborators selected for each engagement.

That structure has consequences. Engagements are narrowly scoped on purpose, because narrow is what allows for depth. Documentation is taken seriously, because work that can't outlive us isn't done. And accountability stays with one named principal — across the entire engagement — because that's where judgment lives.

Two practices, one firm

How the practices interact.

Each practice is its own discipline, with its own audience, vocabulary, and rhythm. They aren't blurred into a single service menu — and they shouldn't be.

Where the practices touch, they sharpen each other. Sepantam also contributes to selected healthcare advisory engagements led by Abbas. Abbas advises on SMB engagements where senior strategic, analytical, economic, or healthcare-domain judgment changes the right answer.

When you engage one practice, you're engaging the practice lead — not the whole firm by default. But the whole firm is available when the work calls for it.
