Aayush Vijay

Project Associate, NHA

Aayush works at the intersection of technology, public systems, and product thinking, building solutions that address real-world challenges at scale. With a background in Computer Science with a pinch of Mathematics from BIT Mesra, he began as a backend developer but soon moved into product roles across the social impact space.

He has led the design and rollout of platforms for nonprofits, CSR foundations, and government partners-working on digital tools for public health, livelihoods, and grant management. Whether it’s turning legacy systems into scalable SaaS products or enabling field teams through better workflows, Aayush enjoys making complex systems more intuitive and impactful.

Born and raised in Jaipur, he draws inspiration from the city’s culture, food, and heritage. His curiosity extends beyond work; you’ll often find him exploring street food, sipping coffee at tucked-away cafés, or capturing life through his camera lens. He’s a regular at live music gigs and is currently learning to play the ukulele.

At heart, Aayush is a builder and a wanderer, equally excited by a good product idea or a long walk through a historic neighborhood being curious about cities, culture, and the stories in between. He’s now exploring how AI can deepen product thinking while staying rooted in real-world impact.
