Do not use shell when you have native modules
ansible can create whole trees using the file module
example:
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: create dir structure
file:
path: 'ibm/{{ item }}'
state: directory
with_items:
- it
- logisitic
this simple playbook will create the directoires ibm/it and ibm/logistics
even if the parent folder ibm does not exist .
you can streamline this with loop control to create to loops one with the
company names other with the subdirectories
