Hi, I am Avinash Pai
Engaged at the crossroads of Technology, Social Impact, Healthcare, and Sustainable Living,
based in Mumbai, India.
I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive positive societal change, enhance healthcare, and promote sustainability. I believe in authenticity and practicing what I preach, and I prefer to distance myself from superficial individuals who lack genuine substance. My love for nature remains a constant inspiration in all my endeavors.
My journey with technology began in childhood through various science projects and continued during my engineering days with the development of robotic cars. Additionally, I had collaborated with several vendors during early 2000s to create their eBay shop pages, further solidifying my commitment to using technology for meaningful impact.
Joining Thirdware, a Mumbai-based organization and a leading provider of QAD ERP software and strategic partner of Hyperion Business Intelligence, in 2007 marked a significant beginning to my career. Being part of the Solutions Team and working directly under the CIO provided me with immense exposure to diverse technologies, CXO strategies, solution evaluation and presentation, as well as hands-on coding and implementation.
Working closely with management, I developed a deep understanding of ERP, CRM, networking, Linux systems, server management, automations, email setups, and security management. I pioneered several automation tools that streamlined processes across the organization, also demonstrating my early expertise in virtualization technologies.
In 2011, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey by founding Vidusys, initially focusing on business intelligence projects. As Vidusys evolved, we transitioned into a product engineering company, delivering high-quality consulting, implementation, and various services. I acquired my partner's share to steer the company towards its current success.
Technology, to me, is more than just a passion—it's a tool for positive change. In 2015, I ventured into healthcare technology, developing a groundbreaking healthcare ecosystem connecting patients and doctors through electronic health record exchange. Though I had to step down in 2017 due to market readiness challenges, my commitment to leveraging technology for societal good remains unwavering.
Alongside my wife, I'm actively involved in health tech initiatives aimed at providing ethical and useful technologies to improve people's well-being and decision-making abilities. I'm also dedicated to nurturing the next generation of tech enthusiasts by guiding youth towards responsible and impactful tech practices.
As a nature lover, I'm increasingly drawn to sustainable living practices, which I aspire to integrate into my professional and personal endeavors. My journey continues as I strive to make a meaningful difference through technology and innovation.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I look forward to connecting with you to explore collaborative opportunities in technology, social impact, healthcare, and sustainable living.
