Fondest Memory of Sanjay K. Katyal
Sanjay was a remarkable force at Microsoft—brilliant, compassionate, and full of integrity. He had a way of uplifting everyone around him, not just through his intellect and insight, but through his kindness and quiet strength. His love for his wife Sheetal and daughter Shireen was at the very center of his world. He spoke of them often and with such pride and tenderness—there was never any doubt they were the loves of his life.
Sanjay would always say he was the one who was blessed, but in truth, we were the fortunate ones. Those of us who had the privilege to collaborate with him, to learn from him, to simply share space with him—we were made better by knowing him.
His legacy lives on in the values he carried with such grace and in the hearts of those who loved and respected him. God bless you, Sanjay. - Elizabeth (Liz) Ngo
