Evolve Innovative Solutions Pte. Ltd.

Azhar Malik is the CEO of Evolve Innovative Solutions (EIS), a Singapore company that builds conversational AI and interactive 3D products, including the MetaMe platform and the FORGE AI framework. Under his leadership, EIS has focused on changing how enterprises engage their customers through AI agents and spatial avatars.

He also does a lot of digital-inclusion work.

Other recognition includes a Top 100 CEOs listing (2023) and three category-finalist spots in the SWITCH 2024 Retail Open Innovation Challenge.
