Ajay Bhatt: The Intel Rockstar

Ajay Bhatt is more than what you know: USB, AGP, PCIe, PPMA, etc. were all co-invented by him.

Probably every one has seen the Intel’s commercial where they show that their RockStars are different from ours.

The Ad features Ajay as the co-inventor of the USB port. In reality, the guy who films int he ad isn’t the real Ajay Bhatt.

Ajay Bhatt is an Intel Fellow and Chief Client Platform Architect in a Mobile Platforms Group. Bhatt leads definition and development of the next-generation Client Platform architecture.

In addition, Bhatt continues to hold a position of Intel’s Chief I/O architect. In his role as a Chief I/O architect, he is responsible for the platform and I/O interconnects directions for Intel

Bhatt is an industry-recognized expert in the area of I/O technologies. At Intel, Bhatt had been working on the technologies which are now wide-spread like USB, Accelerated Graphics Port AGP, PCI Express (PCIe), Platform Power management architecture and various chipset enhancements. Bhatt joined Intel in 1990 as a senior staff architect on the chipset architecture team in Folsom.

He holds nine U.S. patents with several in various stages of filing.

Recently, Conan from NBC interviewed Ajay and as usual, added humor to the whole story while appreciating his efforts. Watch the video:
