The United States Presidential elections are becoming an Indian American affair, with tech entrepreneur Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai becoming the fourth candidate from the community to announce his independent bid for the country’s top post. Ayyadurai stated that he represents the American Dream and the potential for a Golden Age. He emphasized the importance of innovators, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, and those with common sense and reason in running the country, drawing inspiration from the diverse backgrounds of America’s founding figures.
A 59-year-old MIT scholar, Ayyadurai gained attention for claiming to have “invented email” at the age of 14. He had also expressed interest in taking up the position of Twitter’s CEO when Elon Musk intended to step down.
Born in Mumbai, Ayyadurai’s parents immigrated to the US in 1970 when he was seven, settling in Paterson, New Jersey. He is an award-winning scientist and recently developed CytoSolveⓇ, a revolutionary platform for modeling complex biological phenomena and supporting the development of multi-combination medicines without animal testing.
