Billion$ Company H1 Owner

Jyoti Bansal graduated from India’s top engineering school and, like many immigrant entrepreneurs, believed America was the best place for him to build his career. “I wanted to come to Silicon Valley,” Jyoti told me in an interview. “I was fascinated with the concept of startups and creation, and wanted to work for a startup company in America.”

 

He arrived in America on July 4, 2000. He received an H-1B visa, which proved to be both a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing because an H-1B visa is, in practice, typically the only way a foreign national can work long-term in America. It was a curse because individuals on H-1Bs are generally unable to start a company. Jyoti began working for startup companies but he also wanted to launch his own company. “I waited 7 years for my employment-based green card and I wanted to leave my job and start a new company but couldn’t,” he said. “What is most frustrating about the green card process is you have no control over a major part of your life. I have friends who became frustrated with the uncertainty and after years of waiting they finally left the United States.”

 

In 2007, Jyoti received an employment authorization document (EAD) as part of the green card process. He left his employer and started AppDynamics. “America has everything we need to create great companies here,” said Jyoti. “We have great openness. We have a good legal structure and access to capital. But in technology it’s all about talent. We need an immigration system that allows people to keep coming here.”

 

Jyoti Bansal founded AppDynamics in 2008 and today the company employs over 900 people and is valued at $1.9 billion. AppDynamics describes its service as the equivalent of a 24 hour/7 days a week MRI for an organization’s website, picking up small problems before they debilitate a business and anger consumers. “AppDynamics is a fully realized website monitoring service for businesses, and a leader in both the website monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM) spaces. It’s our Editors’ Choice for enterprises,” declared PC Magazine in an extensive review of the company.
