Founders John P. Clay was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1934. In 1957 John graduated from Oxford University with first class honours in Sanskrit, Avestan and Old Persian. He went on to a long career in global investment banking with Vickers da Costa, New York, the London Stock Exchange and then with Clay Finlay, Inc. In 1999 he decided to give enduring patronage to his real passion: Sanskrit literature. His vision was to create a series that would make all the classics available to the general public for the first time. John now lives in New York City with his wife Jennifer.
