Tarn Taran To Techland

Have you ever imagined waking up one day and realising that you are the proud owner of $ 300 million. Sounds thrilling and a bit dreamy at the same time. But for 24-year-old Gurbaksh Chahal, a resident of Tarn Taran, the life has taken a turn of 360 degree. Gurbkash Chahal’s second successful online business venture, BlueLithium, has just been sold to Yahoo! for a staggering $300MM. Young, bold, handsome and extremely gifted, Chahal has already joined the elite ranks of online entrepreneurs Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Chahal, at 25 years old, has already accomplished more than most people do in their lifetime.

Only three years ago, Chahal floated an internet company with its headquarters located in San Jose and six other locations in California and international branches in England, Canada, Bellarus and France. Today he is a rich man with $ 300 million in his kitty. The changing day of his life came on September 7 when Yahoo took over the company for $ 300 million. Talking to The Tribune, Chahal said his dream had come true and he was extremely happy that he could be able to pay rich tributes to India and Punjab at such a young age. Read more here.
