About Rattan L. Khosa, ’79 //

Rattan first came to the United States from his native India with just $3.25 in his pocket, and in 1981 started AMSYSCO, a company that provides post-tensioning systems on commercial structures, out of his basement. Overcoming countless hurdles, Rattan has grown AMSYSCO into a highly profitable company that today captures some 70 percent market share.
