The Quiet OG: Sanjay Mehrotra โ€“ Co-founder of SanDisk ๐Ÿ”ฅ Who he is: Youโ€™ve probably used his product a thousand times - USB drives, memory cards, SSDsโ€ฆ But ever heard of Sanjay Mehrotra? Didnโ€™t think so. Why heโ€™s underrated ? Born in Kanpur, moved to the U.S. Co-founded SanDisk in 1988โ€”aka the godfather of flash storage Was told: โ€œNobody will need more than 1MB of memory.โ€ Laughed, and built a multi-billion dollar memory empire anyway Sold SanDisk for $19 billion Today? CEO of Micronโ€”still building the future, silently What you use today because of him: USB drives SD cards in your camera SSDs in your laptop Cloud storage Smartphones, tablets, even Teslaโ€™s internal systems Basicallyโ€ฆ your entire digital life has Sanjayโ€™s fingerprint on it Fun facts: Holds 70+ patents Studied in BITS Pilani, then transferred to UC Berkeley Survived the dotcom bust and the 2008 crash Keeps an ultra low profileโ€”no flex, no noise, just output Legacy: While others chase fame, Sanjay Mehrotra built the memory that powers our world. No startup hype. No viral post. Just cold precisionโ€”and billions of devices running his code. He doesnโ€™t need a โ€œfounder story.โ€ Youโ€™re reading this because of him.
