In a quite interesting turn of events, it was Snoop Dogg who inspired Sanjay Shah, one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the world, to start a concert-driven, top-artist charity called Autism Rocks. Autism research is very important to Mr. Shah, as his son is autistic. And so, even though he was interesting in supporting autism research, he was not aware of any existing charity that served the direct basic research purpose he intende3d. When Snoop Dogg came to Dubai, where Sanjay Shah lives, it happened that Sanjay and his family entertained Snoop Dogg in their home, along with several others of his group. It was Snoop Dogg who encouraged Mr. Shah to go into the music business to raise significant funds for autism research. Out of that was born Sanjay Shah’s charity: Autism Rocks.

Sanjay and his family were very happy to meet Snoop and afterwards he had this to say, “What’s it like having a man who’s sold 30 million records sitting in your garden? Bizarre. But thrilling! I put some pictures on Facebook and no one believed it was him. Everyone thought I’d hired a lookalike… He was lovely. He was talking to the kids, asking about Dubai, telling us about his family. It was fun.”

Mr. Shah has produced several concerts that featured amazing recording artists Elvis Costello, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Joss Stone. They all performed to contribute and all together were able to produce $15 million profit, all of which went to basic autism research. This research program is at Cambridge University and is called the Autism Research Trust (ART).

After founding Vistex, Inc., Sanjay Shah serves as CEO and the Chief Architect. He grew the company to become the top provider of business savvy in pricing, contract, incentive management, and market channels solutions and services. These solutions are now implemented with software clouds to enable businesses to make gains in revenue, achieve better marketing, control costs, and grow margins.
