Vijay Singh

Founder

Vijay Singh is the founder of Careervira, an HR-Tech and AI SaaS startup built by ex-Google and Bay Area engineers. After a distinguished corporate career spanning sales, general management, and product leadership at Google, he quit Google Singapore to solve a problem that fascinated him: professionals struggling to navigate career growth while organisations poured resources into learning programmes that weren't moving the needle. What started as an integrated career planning platform has evolved under his leadership into Careervira 2.5, the world's first Agentic AI platform for intelligent career orchestration across the US, Canada, India, and Southeast Asia. His core philosophy remains deeply human: "Empowering every professional to be everything they want to be through intelligent career orchestration, backed by AI."

Creating a future where Vira serves as every professional's trusted companion on their career journey, amplifying human potential rather than replacing it.

"We're not just changing how people learn, we're fundamentally changing how careers are built in the modern economy, with Vira AI as every professional's intelligent career companion."
