Arpana was excelling rapidly, not only academically, but socially.
Danelle HallanHOST
And by 2007, she earned her degree in computer engineering and accepted a job as a software quality assurance engineer with Dell EMC, which was an amazing position to be able to get.
Danelle HallanHOST
So instead of going home to India, Arpana moved to the tech Mecca of Redmond, Washington, just outside of Seattle.

This is a place that was the home to Nintendo, Microsoft, dozens of other huge innovative companies that had made a massive name for themselves.

When you think about Dell was a PC company, when it went from Michael Dell taking it private to them making an acquisition, an EMC acquisition, where they transformed themselves to a cloud company and then went through a next transformation into leveraging that to being an AI company.
Michael GuptanGUEST
This is a company that stayed true to its knitting in terms of what their core competencies were, but they had a bold vision for where they want to take the company, which is not just a PC company, but broad into a computing infrastructure and software company.
Michael GuptanGUEST
They continue to add through acquisitions, through organic growth, through people.

And this is one of the most iconic masterminded acquisitions of our time.

Jeremy BurtonGUEST
factors.
Jeremy BurtonGUEST
You know, when I left Dell, I mean, EMC had acquired the company I worked at.
David BaxterHOST
What inspired you to leave them to begin with?
Mohamed ElayoutyGUEST
Yeah, so I was with Dell Technologies and before that was EMC Corporation for a long time, over 20 years or so.
Mohamed ElayoutyGUEST
And then we went our separate ways at some point.
Mohamed ElayoutyGUEST
And I think at the time it was late 2020 or early 2025 or 24, I don't remember.
Sam RoutledgeHOST
Yeah
Jim McCredieGUEST
... and then I made the transition, fortunately, 'cause EMC back then was hiring ex-athletes that went to good universities.
Sam RoutledgeHOST
Oh, okay.
Jim McCredieGUEST
So I started with...
Jim McCredieGUEST
Yeah, so I started with EMC and, you know, started in inside sales at the age of 28.
Jim McCredieGUEST
That was a lot of fun.
Jim McCredieGUEST
Um, but ended up having a, a 20-year career with EMC, but they brought me out to Asia for two years, and here I am 15 years later.
Jim McCredieGUEST
But ended up transitioning into leadership roles within EMC in Asia, and then, um, went back to Japan.
Dheeraj PandeyGUEST

Dheeraj PandeyGUEST
Before that, people are buying hardware from Dell, HP, IBM, all these branded hardware companies, EMC, NetApp.
Dheeraj PandeyGUEST
So they were all into shiny hardware.
Dheeraj PandeyGUEST
And you're like, "No, no, no, no, no.
Mandeep SinghHOST
Yeah
Joe OsnossGUEST
... and actually we doubled down on that with the EMC acquisition and AI world, and this is really true for every successive tech, uh, wave.
Joe OsnossGUEST
But in this case, it's super-sized and happening faster.
Joe OsnossGUEST
It turns out you need all that gear to be able to crunch all of the, uh, all of the AI applications that you wanna do.
Jeff DenworthGUEST
And he knew he needed to hire a product guy.
Jeff DenworthGUEST
And so he calls a gentleman by the name of Josh, who worked with him at Dell EMC, and said, it's time to get the band back together.
Jeff DenworthGUEST
Josh is like, not the right time.
Jeff DenworthGUEST
I can't do it.
