The Silicon Valley math: How Indian-origin founders built a $560B empire abroad

Rajiv Batra left IIT Kanpur with an electrical engineering degree before heading to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Years later, his career would lead to Palo Alto Networks, one of the biggest names in cybersecurity.

Jay Chaudhry followed a similar path. After studying at IIT-BHU Varanasi and the University of Cincinnati, he went on to build Zscaler, another major cybersecurity company. Same goes for Aravind Srinivas who did BTech from IIT Madras, then went to Berkeley for further studies and eventually started Perplexity.
