Oral History of Jugi Tandon

Interviewed by Tom Burniece on 2017-09-19 in Mountain View, CA © Computer History Museum This is the story of Sirjang Lai Tandon, better known as ”Jugi”, who grew up in a small town in northern India. He got a two-year college education in physics and moved to America in 1960, with an older brother, where he earned an MBA and a Master’s Degree in Engineering. He joined IBM in 1965, initially working on manufacturing heads for the 2314 HHD. He then went to Memorex in 1968, where he developed the first R/W floppy disk drive and in 1975 founded Tandon Corporation, where he developed and patented the first reliable double-sided floppy disk drive and went public. This became one of the key factors in the acceptance of the IBM personal computer in 1978 and led to Tandon opening the first disk drive manufacturing plant in Singapore. He then also built and sold hard drives, plus a clone of the IBM personal computer with IBM’s blessings. Tandon Corporation later merged with Western Digital, which is one of three remaining disk drive companies. Jugi then founded Celetronix International, which became the largest electronic manufacturing service providers in India and Southeast Asia, and was acquired by Jabil Circuits in 2006.
