Vikas Garg

Founder & CEO, abillion

Singapore

Vikas Garg is the founder and CEO of abillion, a digital platform that is helping conscious consumers around the world eat, shop and live more sustainably. Garg, born in India and raised in New York City, spent the first part of his career in investment banking and finance.

Raised in a vegetarian household, because of his concerns for animal welfare and the environment, he became vegan in 2008. In 2017, Garg decided to become an entrepreneur, and build a business that would help a growing community of people interested in sustainability more easily find vegan and sustainable food and products, as well as each other. Since its debut in 2018, the abillion app has been downloaded more than one million times, and is being used from Singapore to Argentina.

abillion’s corporate giving program is unique. For every review posted on abillion, abillion credits its members $1 that they can then donate to some of the world’s most impactful organizations, who lead conservation, education and diet change efforts. Garg believes that part of his mission is to turn social media into a force for social good.
