Dara Khosrowshahi: A Journey from Tehran to Silicon Valley’s Powerhouse

Early Life in Tehran
Dara Khosrowshahi was born on May 28, 1969, in Tehran, Iran, into a prominent and progressive family deeply engaged in business and intellectual pursuits. His father, Asghar (Gary) Khosrowshahi, held degrees in economics and law from the University of Tehran. The family lived in a well-established compound in the affluent Fereshteh neighborhood of Tehran, far removed from the political and oil-based wealth that typified other prominent families of the time.
