Gurbaksh Chahal, more commonly known as "G", at the age of 25, is one of the youngest and most successful entrepreneurs of recent history.
Gurbaksh Chahal was born in the town of Tarn Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab (India) to Avtar and Arjinder Chahal. In 1985, his parents received a visa for America through a lottery-based system in India. At the age of 4, he immigrated to the United States with his family and settled in San Jose, California. Gurbaksh is the youngest of four siblings.
Gurbaksh came from strict and disciplined background where education was compulsory, so he went to public schools all throughout his early life in San Jose, attending high school for two years, however soon enrolling in Accel Middle College, which allowed him to enter college while finishing his high school degree.
Chahal believed that life is all about risks and the definition of failure is only when you let fear take over your instincts. Even as a teenager, Chahal was an avid risk taker. Therefore, he chose a different route as his career path.
At the age of 16, Chahal dropped out of Accel Middle College to start his first venture. Having seen the amount of money being made by prominent Internet companies of the 1990s, Chahal founded ClickAgents, one of the first online ad networks to focus on the needs of performance-based advertisers, rather than brand advertisers.
Just two years later, in November 2000, ValueClick agreed to buy ClickAgents for $40 million in stock, making him a multi-millionaire by the age of 18. Chahal stayed with ValueClick for 18 months becoming the youngest executive of the multi-billion dollar NASDAQ-listed company.
In January 2004, at just 21-years-old, he went on to found his second company. BlueLithium was the next generation ad network focusing on data, optimization, and analytics and was a pioneer of behavioral targeting. Under his leadership, BlueLithium was named one of the top 100 private companies in America and in 2006 received highest honor as Top Innovator of the Year.
Through his vision and leadership, Chahal has now created companies worth over $340 million, and by the age of 25, has amassed a net worth of over $100 million.
