S. Sashikanth is an Indian film producer, architect, film director, and entrepreneur from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. After studying architecture at university, Sashikanth established the Chennai-based design firm Space Scape in 2002, which became involved in major projects such as the British Council and other residential and corporate building designs. Sashikanth later shifted to film production through the establishment of a production studio, YNOT Studios, and the 2010 release of his first film, Thamizh Padam.

Sashikanth's stated goal has been to see himself as having a creative role; Behindwoods has characterised him as a producer of "gutsy new-wave cinema",[1] while The Hindu acknowledged his films Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi, Thamizh Padam, and Va as being "three of the most creative films in recent times".[2]
