With a career spanning automotive infotainment systems, IoT platforms, and now HVAC innovations, Vignesh has quietly been at the intersection of technology, energy, and user experience for nearly two decades.
Vignesh first hit the fast lane in the automotive world, crafting telematics systems that brought infotainment dashboards to life for global names like BMW, Jaguar, Ford, and Toyota.

This eclectic toolkit made him adept not just at building technology, but at thinking through the full lifecycle of a product from engineering to adoption.
