Many Indians have found their feet in the US startup scene
His village in Himachal Pradesh got electricity when he was 13. Running water came two years later. It was not an easy childhood, but that did not stop Jay Chaudhry from earning an engineering degree from IIT BHU and going to the US for higher studies. He worked in many large technology companies there after that.
In 1995, he came to know about the internet browser Netscape and was fascinated by the world wide web. He wanted to start a company that offers cyber security solutions. Chaudhry and his wife, Jyoti, quit their jobs and started SecureIT in 1996. He ran sales and marketing and she managed finance, human resources and operations. SecureIT was later acquired by Verisign.
His second venture, AirDefense, was acquired by Motorola, and the third one, CipherTrust, was bought by Secure Computing. The fourth one, CoreHarbor, was taken over by AT&T. Chaudhry currently runs Zscaler, which offers cloud-based cyber security solutions. He founded the company in 2007 and it went public in 2018. He has a net worth of $8.1 billion, according to Forbes.
