Vijith Sivadasan
Master of a Trinity of Futuristic Business
Vijith Sivadasan grew up in a business family learning the dynamics of intelligent money management from an early age. By the age of 21, when he landed his first job, he already had a handful of small businesses to his credit and had managed to self-fund his college education.
Once in the corporate world, Vijith soon transformed into a jet-setting professional and built a global work profile with companies like GE, AON, Northwestern Mutual and Infosys before deciding to go it alone.
Thus was born the technophile entrepreneur who now has a soaring global investment portfolio spread over a dozen companies and diversified
business interests in multiple sectors.
Vijith’s multifaceted core trinity of companies, Codelattice, V2Angel and Igloopupa, is spread across technology, investment, growth, marketing and most importantly sustainability.
The self-starter’s affinity for ingenious and creative ideas and his passion to aggressively hunt down path-breaking solutions has made him an excellent mentor for budding startups.
This, added with his impeccable and dynamic technical expertise and global exposure, has sure given him a gleaming edge in the distinctive business pursuits bringing the best out of every concern he has been associated with.
The core trinity Codelattice is an adaptive and accurate marketing solutions provider that streamlines a client company’s growth needs on a three-stage Activate, Elevate, and Accelerate program. Employing highly efficient digital technology and a unique tech-first approach to tailor-made marketing and customer-centric solutions, Codelattice is now on a non-linear growth curve shifting from a service-oriented approach to more of a solution-centric approach.
Over the years the company has expanded its presence to eight countries globally by starting AI and cloud centres of excellence. Today it is one of the prominent Amazon Web Services & Google partners in the region and caters to global giants like Air Arabia and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
V2Angel is an innovative technology incubator that identifies and strategically invests in early-stage, high-growth technology startups. Via
V2Angel, Vijith has expanded his portfolio to include highly popular names like FreshToHome, Above-5, Booked Happy, B0A8, Bayzon and Digital Orange.
Vijith is also the co-founder of Igloopupa- a carbon-negative travel company. A globetrotter himself, Igloopupa was Vijith's sustainability reality check and he chose to up the game of the social enterprise infusing some much needed deep technology.
Igloopupa works as an aggregator for carbon negative vacation rentals across the subcontinent and connects responsible hosts with eco-conscious travellers offering unique, sustainable and experiential stays.
A team across the globe With their eyes locked on the challenging digital needs of Fortune 500 companies, Codelattice set difficult targets for itself and made a spirited sprint across the corporate plane acquiring clients from among the who’s who in the industry.
For this, Vijith brought onboard the best talent and tapped into the flexible framework of the startup ecosystem thus offering a distinctive, flexible and positive work environment accommodating the demanding schedules of his employees, especially women.
Future Offerings Vijith’s latest product, Livelattice, is a watershed offering from Codelattice and is capable of redefining the shopping experience offered by offline stores. Infusing the power of digital technology and artificial intelligence to augment the sense of discovery offered by conventional brick and mortar stores, Livelattice can redefine customer experience on an unprecedented latitude. Not only this, the Livelattice
A staunch believer and practitioner in the tenets of sustainability ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘experience shops’ will redefine the spacial imagination of shops and generate extensive operational savings.
Take on life ‘persistently consistent’ An early riser and avid reader, Vijith is motivated by a disciplined outlook on all things in life and vouches by his success mantra- ‘being persistently consistent’.
Vijith affirms that in business it is all about finding the ‘right solution for the right problem at the right time’. He believes that the right product can seize and expand the market pie for itself. According to him creativity and consistency play a major role in building an entrepreneur's career.
A self-confessed fan of ‘people who are driven, ambitious and constant learners,’Vijith says, “The man whom I met the other day working on a problem in a village where he was born, women entrepreneurs who strike a balance between work and personal life, my nephew who has already declared that he is a legend in the making and is striving for it..., I do not restrict myself to a particular source but derive lessons from everything around me. When inspiration meets commitment it brings some real motivation with it.”
