Gurbaksh Singh Chahal


Gurbaksh Singh Chahal was born on 17 July 1982, Amritsar, India. He is an Indian-American author and successful Internet entrepreneur who managed to build and grow two business companies by his self. He grew up in America after his parents received a visa to go to America. He has been ranked as one of the young richest man in the world. He was the founder and the CEO of two big companies calls ClickAgents and BlueLitium and now he founded the third company calls RadiumOne and he is the CEO of it. Known to most of his friends as G. 




As we know Gurbaksh came from a good family background also his family as for many immigrants, education was paramount. However, Gurbaksh dropped out high school when he was 16 and started to follow his dreams and he started his first company calls ClickAgents .It was one of the first advertising networks focused on performance based advertising. As we can see here Gurbaksh displayed an amazing aptitude for both money and business at very early age and he own what he got now by his self. He sold the company after eighteen months later for $40 million to ValueClick.

However Gurbaksh didn't stop there and he had another goal to achieve so, he started his second company that grew his second business but this time with an insight into sophisticated new ways that data, optimization and analytics could help Web advertisers with behavioral targeting. This shows us how did he use all the advantages of market and the technology that was around to introduce his company to everyone around the world .BlueLitium was  specialized in behavioral targeting of banner adverting. By the time they announced the BlueLitium was named one of the top 100 private companies in America for 3 years. We can see also how he tried to get close to others by joining into other bigger companies like Google, Skype and Salesforce.com. He sold it to Yahoo for $300 million in cash.

From this man we learn that no matter how life is hard we still can achieve our dreams. As we can see he became a really business man who got everything in his hands. He managed to start 2 companies and at 26 years old he he is the CEO of the third company called RadiumOne. Success comes when you believe in your abilities to do it. He is now one of the richest young entrepreneurs.

Gurbaksh has many awards that he got from what he .By 2010 he was awarded the leaders in management awarded an Honorary Doctorate degree in Commercial science from Pace University. Gurbaksh`s success as an entrepreneur has also been noted in New York Times. He also has been profiled on Oprah Winfrey Show, Bonnie Hunt and EXTRA. For what I can see from Gurbaksh that he put an effort to what he do and  did what he think is right for him and his companies and do what he can change later in future. He knew how to motivate his self and how he motivated others.
