Maranti Makes a Monster: Page 2 of 2

Its Website says that the company was founded in October 2000, when in fact it’s existed since 1999, according to Harish Nayak, a founder and VP of marketing at Maranti. And that raises some other questions -- notably why the company is trying to draw a veil over its past, and whether it’s running out of cash, bearing in mind that Nayak says it’s got close to 100 on staff.

Still, the management team appears to have plenty of credentials. The company was founded by Kuldeep Sandhu, now president and CEO, and Santosh Lolayekar, now VP of software engineering. Sandhu was previously VP of engineering at Efficient Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: EFNT), and Lolayekar was with Cisco. The company’s chief scientist is Yu-Ping Chen, who was in charge of software development for Auspex Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: ASPX), a pioneer in NFS (network file system) technology.
