Search every verified Sanjay Gajendra interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Sanjay Gajendra, co-founder, president, and chief operating officer of Astera Labs, recently discussed the company's growth and product strategy in a video interview with a new hire. He recounted that the company name was chosen because it means "star," reflecting the founders' shared interest in astronomy and their ambition to become a star in the industry. Gajendra described the company's evolution from a single PCIe Smart Retimer, which was initially designed into Nvidia flagship products, to a broader portfolio including active electrical cable modules, CXL memory controllers, and PCI switching devices. He highlighted the Scorpio X series, a 320-lane device used to connect up to 80 accelerators, as a point of pride, and outlined the company's future direction under the banner of "AI Your Way," which includes providing both copper and optical interconnect solutions, supporting standards such as PCI Express, Ethernet, and CXL, and offering standard and custom silicon wrapped in a software framework called Cosmos. In separate appearances, Gajendra spoke about the company's founding and his personal career philosophy. During an alumni event at Malnad College of Engineering, his alma mater, he described Astera Labs' role in the AI ecosystem by comparing Nvidia's GPUs to a brain and Astera's connectivity technology to the nervous system. He also noted that GPUs are utilized only about 52% of the time due to inefficiencies in data and memory access, and suggested that while AI's impact is proven, the current pace of development may face bottlenecks. In a podcast interview with the three co-founders, Gajendra recounted how he helped recruit his co-founders, including convincing Casey Morrison in a parking lot, and described his approach to risk-taking as jumping first and looking afterward. He emphasized the importance of enjoying the journey, working with the right people, and being ready to change one's mind, while also expressing a belief that company size does not inherently stifle innovation, citing Nvidia and Amazon as examples.

In 2017, three engineers walked away from stable, established careers at a major chipmaker to chase a problem almost no one outside the industry understood: as AI workloads exploded, the GPUs powering them would need to talk to each other faster and more reliably than existing connectivity could support. Nobody was building for that yet. In this episode of A Bit Personal, Jodi Shelton sits down with all three co-founders of Astera Labs — CEO Jitendra Mohan, President and COO Sanjay Gajendra, and Casey Morrison — the team that met at Texas Instruments and turned a shared conviction into one of…
