About Sanjay Shah
Sanjay Shah's bootstrap story began when he left Mumbai, India to attend Lehigh University's business school, where he earned his MBA in 1989 at the age of 21. He held positions at PricewaterhouseCoopers and General Motors before moving to Germany to work for software giant SAP.

After departing from SAP, he founded Vistex, and over two and a half decades, Vistex has expanded operations globally and broadened its portfolio across 15 industries. As a self-made entrepreneur, Shah had a deep-felt desire to give back. As part of Vistex's corporate social responsibility initiatives, Shah formed the Vistex Foundation, which provides grants to nonprofits focusing on health, education, and basic needs programming, as well as Vistex Endeavor, an employee-focused charity encouraging company-wide volunteerism.

An impassioned lifelong learner, Shah donated $5 million to Lehigh University to establish the Vistex Institute for Executive Learning and Research. In 2020, the Vistex Hospital was opened in Bihar, India, serving the community with primary and secondary care; and in recent years, the hospital was recognized as a national model Covid-19 facility.
