Founded by Gireesh Neyyar, Wayvida is a technology platform designed to simplify and modernise how educational institutions, educators, businesses, and organisations manage their operations. Microsoft’s support is expected to strengthen the company’s technology infrastructure and accelerate the development of its AI-powered solutions.
The development comes at a time when educational institutions are increasingly moving away from standalone tools towards integrated digital ecosystems. Wayvida aims to streamline institutional activities ranging from admissions and fee collection to attendance, communication, and learning management through a single, unified technology ecosystem.
Speaking to the media, Gireesh Neyyar said that Wayvida’s vision extends across a comprehensive range of technology solutions, including its AI-powered LMS, ERP, HRMS, CRM, custom software development, web development, business automation, and digital transformation services. He highlighted that the company is building an integrated technology ecosystem designed to serve educational institutions, businesses, and organizations, enabling them to adopt smarter digital solutions, streamline operations, and scale efficiently.
Commenting on Microsoft’s support, Gireesh Neyyar said it would help Wayvida strengthen its AI capabilities, accelerate its international roadmap, and support the development of technology solutions aimed at helping educators and institutions manage their operations more efficiently.
With over 20 years of experience in the education sector, Gireesh Neyyar brings extensive experience in building and scaling education ventures to Wayvida. His journey includes founding Talent Academy and scaling it into a successful education enterprise that was later acquired by a public listed company followed by building Wayvida and Viskool aim to empowering both Educators and Learners alike.
Gireesh Neyyar is also a BJP Kerala State Council member and represented the Bharatiya Janata Party as its candidate from Parassala Constituency in the 2026 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. His experience as an entrepreneur, education leader, actor and public figure has shaped his broader vision of using technology to create greater access, efficiency and opportunity in the education sector.
By bringing essential functions together through a unified technology ecosystem, Wayvida aims to simplify how education businesses operate, enabling educators to spend less time navigating technology and administration and more time creating better learning experiences, reaching more learners, and building sustainable institutions.
For Kerala’s startup ecosystem, the development is a notable example of a homegrown technology company receiving support from a global technology leader. It also reflects the growing capability of Kerala-based entrepreneurs to build AI and enterprise software products for international markets.
With Microsoft’s support strengthening its technology foundation and its leadership bringing more than two decades of experience in education, Wayvida is building at the intersection of education, AI, and enterprise technology, with a vision to develop high-quality, user-focused solutions that empower educators and institutions not only in India, but across the world.
