FREMONT, CA: Indian American entrepreneur Mihir Shah co-founded StorCentric to enhance the storage solution industry, and to take a holistic approach to data management.

The Shah-led StorCentric went from a startup in 2015 and has grown revenues with a compounded annual growth rate of 67 percent over that timeframe. It has completed four acquisitions over that time, as well, leading to the company delivering “the most comprehensive portfolio of data storage solutions.

The innovation of StorCentric is centered on customers and their specific data requirements and delivers the highest quality solutions. Their primary mission is to focus on their customers and capitalize on the storage expertise we have garnered over the years by providing a full stack of award-winning solutions.

Before joining StorCentric, Shah was a part of the executive leadership team at Brocade, a $4 billion networking company.

Before IBM, the entrepreneur spent the early part of his career in investment banking and private equity and has completed over 50 acquisitions and investments in his career valued at over $5 billion.

A native of Surat, India, Shah has implemented a smart acquisition strategy that identifies storage businesses with high technology but has struggled to make a lasting breakthrough.
