Subramonian Shankar, CEO and Founder

Company Overview

AmZetta Technologies Corporate Profile

AmZetta Technologies was launched in 2019 representing the fourth activity of technology guru Subramonian Shankar, known as Shankar to the vast majority of the IT World and Silicon Valley. Shankar formed AmZetta as a spinoff from American Megatrends (better known as AMI). Shankar founded AMI in 1985 and led it as the President & CEO, till he stepped down in 2019, to become the largest BIOS and Remote Management vendor in the world. There is a high probability that the computer you are currently using to view this website is running an AMI product, most likely the AMIBIOS. Shankar has architected and developed a plethora of technologies, both software and hardware, that have been deployed in millions and millions of computers and IT systems worldwide. From BIOS, Diagnostic Software, Digital Workspace Software, Keyboard Controllers, Motherboards, RAID, Remote Management Firmware, Storage (SAN & NAS), Thin Clients, Virtual Desktop Software (VDI) to Zero Clients. Shankar’s companies have been granted more than 500+ US Patents on the technologies he has designed, developed and shipped.

Shankar started AMI with a vision to supply core technologies to the nascent but fast-growing PC industry. Investment dollars were hard to get in the 80s, a harsh reality of the times, that AMI was founded with zero capital investment. With empty coffers, Shankar carefully crafted a strategy to first stay afloat and then grow the company, by leveraging credits from vendors and getting customers to pay in advance for services and products, an approach that required technologically advanced ideas that compelled customers to open up their wallets and smooth execution. Shankar’s first major break happened when Shankar chanced upon Michael Dell and convinced Dell that he could design the world’s most advanced and best performing motherboard, a cache based 80386 motherboard, during a period when 80286 based motherboards were considered top of the line. Michael Dell’s PC Ltd. based out of Austin, TX, (now known as Dell Computers) became AMI’s first paying customer. This became the basis for a long-lasting relationship between the companies and Shankar’s and Michael’s companies have engaged in numerous projects over the past 36+ years.

Shankar and Michael Dell

Shankar’s motherboard idea, first pitched to Dell, was a global hit. AMI motherboards became known for being the best performing motherboard in the industry. PC Magazine called it the “ubiquitous motherboard” because they found AMI’s motherboard in so many different PC’s they tested. While very popular in USA and Taiwan, users from far away countries like Peru, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, India, etc., made the trip to AMI to purchase the motherboards.

Shankar has had the opportunity to license technologies and sell IT products into all the major OEMs such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Intel, Samsung, Huawei, Oracle, Cisco, Dell, HPE and so many more.

After a 34-year career at AMI, Shankar made the decision to step down in 2019 from his role of President & CEO. While Shankar remains Chairman of the Board at AMI, he shifted his day-to-day focus to help grow new businesses.
