We ever heard their is no age for creativity and these two youngster, 16-year old Shravan Kumaran and his 15-year old brother Sanjay Kumaran, are prefect example for this.
Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran, hailing from Chennai, founded the software firm GoDimensions in 2012 – when they were just 12-year-old and 10-year-old respectively - making them the youngest CEOs of India. They have also been recognised as the youngest Mobile Application Programmers in India by Apple.
In the last four years, the brothers have developed 11 applications with over 70,000 downloads!
Their fist app is Catch Me Cop.
The duo was deeply inspired by Steve Jobs, "for innovation and never say die attitude even in tough adversity. It is this story that we like to hear multiple times from our Dad," they said in an interview with nextbigwhat.com
“We code our apps and learnt by getting a lot of books, reading them thoroughly and trying and solve all the problems in the books. That is how we learnt programming," says Sanjay Kumaran was quoted as saying by a website.
For the Kumaran's the only cost in their venture is to buy gadgets and that is where their father steps in. "We are a dad-funded company, which means we do not go to a VC to pitch our ideas, but instead approach our dad. He in turn accepts our ideas and buys the gadgets," says Shravan Kumaran. They add that their father, Kumaran Surendran, who is the Associate Vice President at Cognizant Technology Solutions, has been a huge pillar of support.
