SpaceX has announced the acquisition of AI coding tool Cursor, developed by Anysphere, in a deal expected to close in 2026. The move puts co-founder Aman Sanger, 25, in the spotlight as his stake pushes his net worth into billionaire territory. Cursor has seen rapid adoption across Fortune 500 firms including Salesforce and Samsung.
When SpaceX announced this week that it was acquiring Cursor, the AI coding tool that has taken Silicon Valley by storm, the spotlight, predictably, fell on CEO Michael Truell. But standing alongside him, now a billionaire at 25, is Aman Sanger - a quietly formidable co-founder whose story is as much about the immigrant dream as it is about artificial intelligence.
Sanger is an Indian American who was raised in New York while his family has strong Indian roots. His is not the story of a Silicon Valley insider born into tech royalty. It is the story of a second-generation immigrant who grew up watching his parents build something from nothing, and decided he would too.
A family shaped by India
To understand Aman Sanger, you have to understand where he comes from. His father, Arvind Sanger, moved to the US with an IIT Bombay degree and pursued an MBA at Tulane University. He founded Geosphere Capital in 2007, a New York-based hedge fund focused on natural resources, industrial companies, and Indian equities. He also served as Chairman of Pratham USA, a nonprofit organisation that supports educational opportunities for underprivileged children in India.
