Amar Bose ( 1933 - )  Category ( Engineers ) [suggest a correction]
 

Every teenager, man, and woman likely know the products behind the Bose name. It is something that mothers tell their sons to turn down while fathers lurk around the Bose stores found across the country. Amar Bose created something substantial. He found a need for a product that he could deliver with perfection. Amar Bose built an empire on a product that is built to last and has developed quite a dedicated following.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Amar Bose attended Abingdon Senior High School before going on to the elite school known as MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He actually gained admissions to the school using a work-study program. There, he studied electrical engineering and earned his bachelor’s degree.

After graduation, he had various experiences. He spent a year in the Netherlands at NV Phillips Electronics and then he spent another year as a Fulbright student in India. It was in India that he would meet his first wife. They later divorced.

When Bose returned to the states and MIT, he began researching acoustics. His interests allowed him to invent a loudspeaker. Amar Bose captured two patents early on that would prove instrumental in the success of the company that he developed.

With investors ready to take a chance on Bose; including a former MIT professor, Dr. Y.W. Lee; he could start his company which is what he did in 1964. He would go on to have a profound interest in the products that would find their way into the Bose inventory. This included products that he developed through speaker technology, headphone technology and psychoacoustics.

The company that Amar Bose built now stands with over ten thousand employees producing home, auto, and professional sound. Even though Amar Bose realized phenomenal success with his Bose Company, he chose to teach at MIT and remained there until 2000. His current wife is a Bose Corporation senior manager.
