Vikram Malihan

Founder, The Virtual CTO

Tech Innovator | Virtual CTO | Mentor | Problem Solver | Scalable Solutions Enthusiast

I am a passionate technologist committed to empowering startups and businesses to leverage the power of technology for scalable growth. My journey into entrepreneurship and Virtual CTO services is fueled by my deep desire to help startups overcome technology challenges and achieve sustainable success. Here’s why I chose this path:

Having collaborated with diverse startups and witnessed their struggles with technology scalability, I decided to step in as a trusted partner to bridge the gap between vision and execution, ensuring technology is no longer a roadblock.

The thrill of crafting something from scratch – whether it’s a robust tech stack, a high-performing team, or a disruptive product – is what drives me every day. I thrive on building solutions that not only meet immediate needs but also stand the test of time.

My goal is to create an impact that extends far beyond myself – to build technology strategies and solutions that empower businesses, enrich lives, and foster growth.

Before starting my journey as a Virtual CTO, I held leadership positions across IT domains, delivering impactful solutions for startups and established businesses alike. With over 20 years of experience in technology leadership, I have led transformative projects, including scalable mobile apps, on-demand service platforms, and AI-driven systems, touching industries like Video Streaming, healthcare, education, eCommerce, and Fintech.

My experiences have honed my skills in leadership, strategic planning, agile project management, and mentoring high-performing tech teams. I follow the mantra: "Think big, start small, and scale fast."

Through my Virtual CTO services, I am committed to helping businesses navigate the complexities of the digital era, aligning technology with their vision and driving sustainable growth. Let’s connect and build a future-ready, impactful tech ecosystem together! 🚀

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
