About Us
Our history & vision
Founded in 2001, VAKA was built on the anticipation of a purely digital, interconnected future. Long before the modern mobile ecosystem took shape, we recognized that users and modules would need fluid, interactive identities. This vision is literally in our name: VAKA stands for "Virtually Also Known As." We registered the VAKA name in the United States to represent our forward-looking approach to digital systems and virtual architecture.
