Kaleem Shah (born July 6, 1962) is an American entrepreneur, computer engineer and owner of Thoroughbred race horses. He is known for founding the IT and telecommunications consulting firm CALNET. Born in India, educated in India and the United States, he became a U.S. citizen in the early 1990s. He is the son of Indian horse trainer Majeed Shah.
Shah was born in Bellary, in southern India. His father, Majeed Shah, was a well-known thoroughbred horse trainer in the country who trained two Indian Triple Crown winners. Shah grew up surrounded by horse training and racing, and his exposure grew into a lifelong love of the sport. However, his father discouraged him from becoming a horse trainer due to the hand-to-mouth existence of all but the very top individuals. His father's advice to him was "should you be blessed with good fortune, if you want to own horses down the road, so be it.”
Shah earned a BS in electrical engineering from Bangalore University in India. He went on to earn a Master of Science in computer engineering from Clemson University, and an MBA in international finance from George Washington University.
After earning his bachelor's degree in 1985, Shah came to the United States to pursue his master's degree. Going on to earn an MBA, he thereafter settled in the United States, working as a software programmer for Telenet. He became a US citizen in the early 1990s, giving up his Indian citizenship. Shah is known for his patriotism, and has stated that he is committed to the defense of America.
