Sanjay Mehrotra, the chief executive of Micron Technology, has emerged as one of the most influential Indian-origin leaders in global technology today. As a teenager, the Kanpur native was denied a US student visa three times. As CEO, he has overseen rapid growth at the chipmaker, spearheading it to a market valuation of more than $1 trillion amid the AI boom on Wall Street.
The achievement places Micron alongside other Indian-born CEOs of American tech giants, including Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and Google parent Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai.
