Vik and his wife, Palak, moved to Westfield from Hillsborough in 2020 to raise their children in a town that values connection, tradition, and a strong sense of community.
As parents of two young kids, Veera and Zakai, and part of a multigenerational household that includes Vik’s parents, they wanted a place where families look out for one another, where neighbors become lifelong friends, and where children can grow up feeling safe, supported, and engaged.

Since arriving, Vik has immersed himself in community life—coaching YMCA basketball, performing in the Washington School Show (most recently as a melodramatic French fry), and serving as producer behind the scenes. He believes in fostering a town where families, young and old, feel welcome and heard.
After graduating from Rutgers University, Vik spent 20 years in finance and banking, dedicated to supporting small and midsize businesses.
From co-owning a business advisory firm with his father to leading national sales and strategy efforts in the banking world, he understands firsthand how essential local businesses are to a town’s character and success.
Vik is committed to preserving Westfield’s unique character while supporting thoughtful progress. On Council, he will prioritize families, champion small businesses, the backbone of this historic downtown, and work to ensure Westfeld remains a vibrant, welcoming community for generations to come.
