Company History Harvi Sacha laid siliconindia’s cornerstone with his partner in 1997 in Fremont, the epicentre of Silicon Valley, to bust the myth that Indian techies are nothing more than good programmers who wouldn’t be able to shine at management roles. Harvi laid out a vision to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by drawing the spotlight on the success stories of Indian techies in the US and thus born the first and only US based technology magazine that had an ethnic minority as its target audience. The debut edition of siliconIndia was launched on the 15th of August, 1997 from NYC with Vinod Khosla on the cover, since it is the inspiring story of Vinod that propelled Harvi to embark on this endeavour.

Soon siliconindia realized that there was a dire need for an organized platform that brings together the tech leaders in India and the US, which would facilitate US tech business leaders to avail the benefits Indian businesses have to offer. Having strengthened the magazine’s foundation in the US, siliconindia kickstarted its India edition from Bangalore in 2005 with the idea of acquainting the emerging leaders with the global dynamics of business. Ever since, the company has reached several milestones with the unswerving support of immigration attorneys, IT service firms, investors (Montage Capital and SRI Capital) and others.

The company stood the test of time, even weathering the tech bust by launching its own BPO. It developed a reputation for being the first entity in India to organize ‘India is hiring’ job fairs in US, Canada and Singapore. Having a circulation of around 96,000 hard copies across PAN India with four lakh readers and 47,000 downloads of e-Magazines, today, siliconindia plays an instrumental role in connecting Indian professionals globally through career, talent and social development programs.
