Air Ideal Now a Certified Minority-Owned Business, Announces Vijay Biradar as Partner and Chief Executive Officer
Air Ideal, a leading commercial and luxury residential HVAC service provider in New York City and Long Island, today announced Vijay Biradar as majority Partner and Chief Executive Officer. A groundbreaking announcement, Biradar’s appointment officially marks Air Ideal’s status as a Certified Minority-Owned Business in its near-century-long existence.
Graduating Manhattan College with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, Biradar brings 15 years of unparalleled HVAC experience to Air Ideal. With expertise in budgeting and estimating, on top of project execution and completion, Biradar uses this cumulative knowledge to guide clients and the business towards a brighter future.

He is dedicated to our customers, our company, and to his partners. He is also very generous and always going out of his way to help people. I am very proud of his accomplishments and work ethic and I have no doubt that he will help lead Air Ideal to continued success for our own people and our customers.” – Sean McEntee, COO/Partner at Air Ideal
“It’s a phenomenal feeling. A lot of hard work and sacrifice went into getting here. We are very proud of our company and the efforts it [has] taken for us to continue to grow and flourish … It was a long road to get here. I took a lot of risks and worked very hard. Immigrating from India, graduating Manhattan College, becoming a U.S. Citizen, becoming an owner, and growing Air Ideal — I am very proud of these milestones.” – Vijay Biradar, CEO/Partner at Air Ideal
With Biradar now at the helm, Air Ideal is officially a Certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) under Article 15-A of the Executive Law — which demarcates a business be “at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned, operated and controlled by citizens or permanent resident aliens who [meet] the ethnic definitions” of either Black, Hispanic, Asian-Pacific, Asian-Indian Subcontinent, or Native American/Alaskan Native.
Prior to his appointment as CEO, Biradar served as an Estimator for Admore Air Conditioning Corporation in Yonkers, New York for over 10 years. Joining the Air Ideal team in 2017, Biradar touts several major accomplishments — including winning multiple high profile fitouts in NYC and “completing a multi-floor fit out for Macy’s in Long Island City,” which Biradar notes “gave us the confidence to go against the larger competitors in the market.”
