Amar G. Bose, the Indian-American visionary entrepreneur and acoustics pioneer, famous for making high-fidelity Bose audio systems and speakers for homes, auditoriums and automobiles, has died. He was 83.
Bose’s death was announced by his company Bose Corp’s president, Bob Maresca, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Bose was on the faculty for over 40 years. “We are deeply saddened to announce that Dr Amar Bose has passed away,” Maresca said in a statement.
Bose died on Friday at his home in Wayland, Massachusetts. His death was confirmed by his son, Dr Vanu G. Bose.
“Dr Bose founded Bose Corporation almost 50 years ago with a set of guiding principles that never changed and never will. Bose Corporation will remain privately held, and stay true to his ideals,” Mr Maresca said.
