See what you getAbout Vishal Rajpurohit
Twenty-one years of software that had to survive production.
Vishal Rajpurohit is co-founder and CTO of ViitorCloud, founder of LaraCopilot, an organizer of Laracon India and a board member of the Laravel Certification Program. He works with founders and leadership teams who need software built, a developer hired, a decision reviewed or a troubled application rescued. He stays on the architecture himself. The ViitorCloud engineering team carries delivery.
No automatic pitch, and no assumption that AI is the answer. If the fit is wrong, you get that answer early.

The record
Dated, not adjectival
Every line below is a role with a start date on a public profile, not a claim about how experienced somebody feels.
- 2005First engineering role, building an inventory system in .NET and SQL Server. Then a security research post working on steganography and image processing, then product development on open-source web stacks.
- 2010Co-founded ViitorCloud and has run technology there since. Fifteen years of architecture that had to survive deadlines, changing requirements, distributed teams and customer pressure. That is the pressure your build will be under too.
- 2020Started organizing and hosting Laracon India, the only edition of the conference in Asia. A project with a public, immovable date and no private beta, delivered in the open every year since.
- 2024Joined the board of the Laravel Certification Program, which decides what a certified developer has to know. Setting a standard for other people is the same work as applying one to your candidate.
- 2025Founded LaraCopilot, an AI product for a specific developer ecosystem. Shipping something with a model inside it is where the difference between a demo and a release stops being theoretical.
The throughline: a decision only counts once it has survived production, a real team, and the month after launch. That is why the judgement on offer here stays attached to an engineering company that still ships, rather than becoming an advisory practice that stopped.
Where to start
Four situations bring people here
Each one starts the same way: clarify the problem, map the system, find the gaps. Each has a page that says exactly what you leave with.
Someone needs hiring
Define the role, then test for it with a rubric you can run without me.
Read the rubricSomething needs rescuing
Establish what is true, stabilise what is failing, then decide repair or replace.

One decision framed, with the evidence that would settle it, and no build attached.

Questions people ask about working with Vishal
Does Vishal only work on AI projects?
No. Vishal works on consequential software and business systems. AI is used when it creates a better outcome; conventional software, rules, or a hybrid system may be the more responsible answer.
Will Vishal build the product or only advise?
Both paths are available. Vishal can lead discovery, product definition, architecture, or strategic decisions independently. When implementation is appropriate, delivery can be carried through ViitorCloud under his technical leadership.
Can Vishal work with an existing team?
Yes. He can work alongside founders, product leaders, CTOs, and engineering teams, providing decisions, architecture, reviews, and coaching while the internal team retains delivery ownership.
How does working across time zones actually run?
Engagements run remote-first, with a fixed overlap window agreed in the first week and every decision written down rather than held in a call. What matters is not the number of shared hours but whether a decision can be made while you sleep and still be one you would have made yourself, which is what the written record is for. Travel for a workshop or a kickoff is arranged when the work genuinely needs a room.
How does an engagement begin?
Begin with the business problem. A short fit conversation determines whether the next useful step is a focused sprint, a blueprint, delivery, advisory support, or no engagement at all.
Bring the software problem
Not a brief, not a stack preference. The thing that is not working, or the thing that has to exist. You will know inside one conversation whether this is a fit.
