Abilash is the CEO and a Co-founder at WEGoT Utility Solutions – a company in the sustainability tech space focussing on smart metering of utilities. The name of the company is a play on the term Internet of Things (IoT) for water, electricity and gas. 

Abilash is a seasoned entrepreneur backed by 17 years of experience in various roles. Before venturing into the world of water solutions, Abilash successfully founded and ran a company called VBMS that specialised in integrating end-to-end security solutions.

Abilash studied Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York before working at Cisco. Both these experiences have given him an understanding of the business and tech of cloud computing.

He is passionate about technology for sustainability and believes that initiatives like WEGoT need to scale to make a dent in the global water supply crisis.

Fitness, games and sports are Abilash’s favourite enthusiasms. He believes that sport teaches you to be fair, competitive, and relentlessly pursue excellence – values that flow back into his life as an entrepreneur.

His favourite part of work is the adrenalin rush of getting together with smart people to solve really tough problems. When he is not in the office, you will find him training as a part of the national ultimate frizbee team or looking for hikes and new experiences as a traveller.
