PROFILE OF SUHAS GOPINATH, CEO & PRESIDENT, GLOBALS INC.
-World's Youngest CEO
Mr. Suhas Gopinath, now aged 20, a resident of Bangalore, had a passion for information. A passion so energetic that it drove Suhas to set up a multinational company christened Globals Incorporated. He hails from a middle-class family, where his father, Mr. M R Gopinath, was a defense scientist.
At the age of 14, he was recognized as the world's youngest web developer through his project coolhindustan.com. A Fortune 500 company, being amazed at the talent, offered him a job which included a $2000 paycheck per week, a chauffeur-driven car, and an executive apartment.
All this did not lure Mr. Gopinath as he was mentally strong about what he wanted in his life. To encourage the youth, he set up Globals Inc in the year 2000 in San Jose, California, as the laws in India did not allow him to set up a company in the country as he was still a minor.
From then, Globals Inc has drastically grown as a multinational company with offices in more than 11 countries, including the USA, UK, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Australia, India, Bangladesh, etc., which offers tailor-made solutions in the fields of web, mobile, networking, e-commerce, and software solutions. Mr. Suhas Gopinath, at the age of 16, was recognized as the world's youngest entrepreneur by CNBC and e-Business, Canada.
With this, at the age of 17, he was recognized as the "World's Youngest CEO" by leading media across the globe, including BBC, CBS News, Washington Times, Indian Express, Straits Times - Singapore, Times of India, NDTV, The Age - Australia, etc.
Though his age sounds exciting for a humongous title like CEO, it was also against him. In the year 2003, a Singapore-based company approached Globals Inc to outsource their projects worth $38,000. The law stated that an executive signatory must be above 18. This cost him the deal. Nevertheless, he steered Globals Inc further with sheer determination. His team has grown from a mere 4 members to a staggering 600.
Under his leadership, the team has served more than 400 clients, including Fortune 500 companies. At the 2005 International Business Awards held in New York, he was awarded as the "Best International Business Executive." He was also awarded Karnataka State's "Rajyotsava" Award on November 1, 2005, and was the youngest in the state's history to bag this prestigious award.
Suhas' foremost motive was to establish a platform for youth that encourages them in their chosen IT career and also to build their entrepreneurial skills. Currently, Suhas is pursuing his bachelor's degree in Information Science Engineering at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
Suhas Gopinath is also designated as the Indian Representative for UN Youth Federation and Action Program and Coordinator for Indo-Pak Youth programs. Suhas Gopinath is currently the visiting faculty at IIM Ahmedabad for Start-Up Finance and Entrepreneurship and is also the Brand ambassador at PETA along with other Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities.
