“Die Hard Entrepreneur. At
the age of 16, Gurbaksh dropped out of high school to pursue his dream as an
entrepreneur and started his first company, ClickAgents. It was one of the
first ad networks focused around performance based advertising. Eighteen months
later, he sold it for $40 million to ValueClick. In January 2004, Gurbaksh
founded his second company, BlueLithium, this time with an insight into
sophisticated new ways that data, optimization and analytics could help Web
advertisers with behavioral targeting. BlueLithium was named one of the top 100
private companies in America
for three years in a row by AlwaysOn, and in 2006, it joined Google, Skype and
Salesforce.com in being named Innovator of the Year. In 2007, Yahoo acquired
BlueLithium for $300 million in cash. At 29, Gurbaksh is already leading his
third online ad company, RadiumOne. RadiumOne has created a new category of
real-time advertising through it's innovative Dynamic Audience Platform (DAP)
that leverages real-time social interaction from data across the Open Web. It's
patent-pending ShareGraph™ technology also amplifies seeds and social
interaction signals to continually expand target audiences via 12 billion RTB
ad impressions they access every day. On April 2010, Chahal was awarded the
Leaders In Management Award and an Honorary Doctorate degree in Commercial
Science from Pace
University in 2010 in recognition for his
career achievements as an entrepreneur. Much of that story Chahal himself told
in his international best-selling book, "The Dream." Gurbaksh's successes
as an entrepreneur has also been noted in The New York Times, Entrepreneur
magazine, Forbes and BusinessWeek. He has also been profiled on Oprah Winfrey
Show, Bonnie Hunt and EXTRA.”
