Two Indian Americans honoured

Silicon Valley March 9. For demonstrating outstanding professional achievement and significant contributions to the Silicon Valley and the Greater Bay area communities in the United States, two Indian Americans have been inducted into the prestigious Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame.

Kumar Malavalli, co-founder of Brocade Communications Systems, Inc, and Mihir Parikh, founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Asyst Technologies have become the first Indian American business leaders to be bestowed with this honour. With this recognition, the two have joined ranks with the likes of William Hewlett and David Packard, co-founders of Hewlett-Packard; Robert N. Noyce, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor Corp and Intel Corp; and Russell H. Varian and Sigurd F. Varian, co-inventors of Klystron. Considered one of the founding forces in Fibre Channel technology, Malavalli has been a major contributor to the development of Fibre Channel standards and products.
