Youngest CEO...

Meet the youngest CEO of the world as the media calls him.... Suhas Gopinath.. Born 1986) is an Indian enterprenuer. He is the founder, CEO, and President of Globals Inc, an IT company.

In 2005, Suhas Gopinath was one of the finalists of the Infosys Education World Young Achievers Award. In 2005, he was also the youngest among the 175 recipients of the Karnataka State Government's Rajyotsava Award. Suhas Gopinath is also a brand ambassador for PETA.

This year on December 2, 2007, The European Parliament and International Association for Human Values conferred “Young Achiever Award” to Mr. Suhas Gopinath at the European Parliament, Brussels, and he was also invited to address the European Parliament and other Business dignitaries assembled in the EU Parliament.[11].
Mr. Suhas Gopinath was recently announced as one of the “Young Global Leaders” for 2008-2009 by the prestigious World Economic Forum, Davos.

But he could not become a CEO in India since our country does not allow it. So in 2000, at the age of 14 years, Suhas Gopinath founded Globals Inc in San Jose, California, US.

Are our laws deterring our young entrepreneurs? If so, isn’t it time we changed it? I see Rahul Gandhi trying the same stunts his father tried (BTW, I liked his father), like bringing the youth to the front etc. I think it is time they looked into these outdated laws too. US had (forgive the past tense) a thriving economy since the country treated the enterpreneurs very well.
