MY JOURNEY
DESIGNER | ENTREPRENEUR | EDUCATOR
Hi, I am Vrushank Vyas. Many people recognize me as VYAS. I am an Engineer and Designer by Education and Entrepreneur by profession.
In the last ten years of professional work, I have developed a great interest in the field of Design, Innovation and technology. I have ventured into multiple ideas to solve big problems during this time.
​
I am currently directing Oizom - a cleantech startup in marketing and design verticle. Together we are solving air quality monitoring issues in more than 50+ countries globally. Along with Oizom, I have cofounded a MedTech startup focusing on affordable healthcare with tech and data.
​
Over this period, I have also found passion in academics. Sharing my knowledge and experience with young students gives me immense joy and satisfaction. I am currently teaching product design to students at CEPT University for the last three years.
KEY DOMAINS
my phylosophy
ONE TASK - ONE WIN EVERY SINGLE DAY
I believe big problem requires simple but multiple solutions. So instead of trying to solve a big problem, I focus on one minor part of the issue and solve it completely.
​
We all know climate change is a big issue. But solving a big problem requires multiple solutions from multiple stakeholders. So, at Oizom, we focus only on providing tech to scale air quality monitoring globally, believing that others will get through with their part.
​
I follow the same philosophy within the company culture as well. We have built a system where each leader has a clear role assigned. We all focus on our part and expect others to come through their part. This approach results in a great collaborative culture, which drives growth. Instead of worrying about long-term goals, I focus on breaking them into micro-goals and achieving them one at a time.
