Doctors gave Vishwas one year to live—every year for twenty years. Six times it looked as though death was imminent, but his unflappable spirit helped him overcome incredible odds. Despite living with HIV/AIDS for thirty-five years, he has led an extraordinary life by every measure; from world travels to his 30-year marriage with an ex-Catholic priest to being one of the original developers of Grindr. A graduate of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Vishwas immigrated to the US where he distinguished himself as a pioneer and innovator in the fields of AI and IT. After serving as Chief Scientist for some of the leading global IT companies, Vishwas enjoyed great success as a software entrepreneur. His contributions include the first data backup system for personal computers and the most successful dating application for the gay market, Grindr. In addition to Vishwas’ technical and entrepreneurial successes, he is an accomplished artist and has enjoyed cruising the world with his husband of thirty years and many of his extraordinary collection of friends. In 2016 Vishwas faced a whole new life-threatening challenge—a massive stroke. His memoir, Gay Crow, recounts his healing journey as well as highlights of his remarkable life and adventures. Vishwas can be reached at www.GayCrow.com and is available for interviews and virtual appearances.
