From A Dropout to The CEO: Gireesh Neyyar’s Journey of Innovation and Triumph in Ed-Tech
Gireesh Neyyar, the founder and CEO of Wayvida, is an icon of inspiration and innovation. From dropping out of school to establishing two successful education companies (now acquired by a publicly listed firm), his journey knows no bounds as he relentlessly seeks to make educational innovations accessible to all. With over 20 years of experience spanning management, administration, academics, IT, sales, and marketing, his story is nothing short of remarkable. Despite leaving formal education in the 8th grade, he spent seven years in various daily wage jobs to support himself before completing his schooling privately as an over-aged candidate. His passion for learning propelled him to earn multiple degrees in literature, law, management, and journalism, and he even qualified for India’s prestigious Civil Service Mains Examination.
Although he secured several government positions, his desire to create greater opportunities for educators in the future educational innovation where advanced technologies and AI plays a pivotal role, led him to entrepreneurship. Today, he leads Wayvida, the AI-powered platform for Online Teaching, where he strives to integrate cutting-edge technology powered by AI to empower educators and make teaching and learning more accessible.
