Vijay Kalyanji Shah (born 5 June 1959) is a composer who works in the Indian film industry. His career spans over almost four decades (1985–present). He is the son of Kalyanji Virji Shah, music director from the composer duo Kalyanji–Anandji.[1]

Viju Shah primarily composes on a keyboard. He has been called "the King of Synth Sounds”.[2] Shah’s emergence as a composer happened at a time when traditional orchestral arrangement was disappearing and making way for programmed music. He saw first-hand the slow and palpable shift from acoustics to electronics in Hindi film music.[3]
