How an Indian man who arrived in US with $3 built a $9.3 billion tech empire

In 1969, Romesh Wadhwani arrived in Pittsburgh with less than three dollars in his pocket. He had already completed his engineering degree from IIT Bombay and came to the US to pursue a master’s degree, followed by a doctorate.

After completing his PhD, he made another difficult choice. Instead of taking the safer route of joining an established company, he decided to build one.

There was one problem. He had never run a business, had no investor network and came from a family with no history of entrepreneurship.
