Web entrepreneur/millionaire had humble start

September 8, 2008 on 10:28 am | In inspiration | No Comments

Internet entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal — known as “G” — gives a quick story about his rise to business success in yesterday’s NY Times.

Chahal has become a much-watched figure in San Francisco after the sale of his advertising network, BlueLithium, to Yahoo! last year.  He is parlaying some of that status into television, as he will be part of the reality TV show “Secret Millionaire” later this year on Fox.

His story of humble beginnings and religious persecution in San Jose is inspiring.  I am also impressed at his ability to start two companies (ClickAgents, BlueLithium) and make them successful — all before turning 25.

He’s also a good self-promoter, from the look of his blog. It will be interesting to see what he does next.
