Prior to 1993, Talwalkar held senior engineering and marketing management positions at Sequent Computer Systems (now part of IBM), Bipolar Integrated Technology and Lattice Semiconductor. [4]

[10] Talwalkar redirected the company to focus on the "data deluge," the massive growth in information flowing through datacenters and wireless networks. [4] This included areas of IT, such as cloud computing, Big Data and social media and wireless networks. [4] All of the product lines were completely rebuilt, with many of them being sold off to focus primarily on chips and other products that work with data storage and communications.

In 2013, Talwalkar appeared on stage together with Box CEO Aaron Levie at the Accelerating Innovation Summit. [14]

In December 2013, it was announced that Avago had acquired LSI Corporation for $6.6 billion in a cash transaction. [15] LSI Corporation publicly stated that Talwalkar would leave the company after the close of the transaction.
