About the author
Raj Singh
Co-founder and CEO, WayLit
Raj came to the U.S. in 2006 on a student visa, went through the H-1B and green card processes, and became a U.S. citizen. He now leads WayLit, helping HR and mobility teams manage immigration for their employees.
Why Raj built WayLit
Immigration work was scattered across email, spreadsheets, and multiple law firms. HR had to chase updates, employees did not know what came next, and important deadlines depended on manual follow-up.
Raj co-founded WayLit with Satya Mishra to bring case management technology, partner-attorney support, and employee service together. His own immigration journey gives him a personal perspective on the uncertainty employees face along the way.
At WayLit, the focus is on making the work clear: who owns a case, what happens next, and where HR or an employee needs to act.
