Indian-Origin CEO Sanjay Mehrotra Contributes $250 Million to Trump

Sanjay Mehrotra, the Indian-origin chief executive of Micron Technology, has contributed $250 million to former President Donald Trump's political campaign, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The donation, one of the largest individual political contributions in U.S. history, was made through a super PAC supporting Trump's 2024 presidential bid.

Mehrotra, who was born in India and later moved to the United States, has been a prominent figure in the semiconductor industry. His company, Micron, is a major manufacturer of memory and storage chips.

The contribution has drawn attention due to its size and the political implications, as Trump remains a polarizing figure in American politics. Neither Mehrotra nor Trump's campaign has publicly commented on the donation.
