Snippets from rediff article:

When 14-year-old Suhas Gopinath started Globals Inc ten years ago from a cyber cafe in Bengaluru, he didn't know that he had become the youngest CEO in the world.

When I was 14, Network Solutions offered me a part-time job in the US and they said they would sponsor my education in the US. I rejected the offer because that was the time I had read a story about Bill Gates and how he started Microsoft.

Till I was 16 or 17, I didn't tell my parents that I had started a company. I kept it a secret because I thought they would object to it. They only knew that I was a freelancer.

Today, Globals is a multi-million dollar company with offices in the United States, India, Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, Singapore and the Middle East and has 100 employees in India and 56 abroad.

now that's just brilliant

I've met a number of successful Indian entrepreneurs. They have such power in numbers in Indian, and they are able to harness less expensive labor. I recently met one who came to visit Silicon Valley. I was his first customer, and I wrote about them here.

Yeah I came across your blog post few weeks back through.....I guess..... WarriorForum...

Very inspirational story. Makes me even more regretful that I didn't drop out from college to start my online entrepreneurship earlier.
