PROFILE OF SUHAS GOPINATH, CEO & PRESIDENT, GLOBALS INC.
Mr. Suhas Gopinath, now aged 20, a resident of Bangalore had a passion for
information. A passion so energetic, that it drove Suhas to setup a multi national
company christened Globals Incorporated. He hails from a middle class family, where
his father Mr. M R Gopinath was a defence scientist.
At the age of 14 he was recognized as the world's youngest web-developer through his project coolhindustan.com. A fortune 500 company, being amazed at the talent, offered him a job which included a $2000 paycheck per week, a chauffer driven car and an executive apartment. All this did not lure Mr. Gopinath as he was mentally strong of what he wanted in his life. To encourage the youth, he setup Globals Inc, in the year 2000 at San Jose, California as the laws in India did not allow him to setup a company in the country as he was still minor. From then Globals Inc has drastically grown as a Multinational company with offices in more than 11 countries which includes USA, UK, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Australia, India, Bangladesh, etc which offers tailor made solutions in the fields of web, mobile, networking, e-commerce and software solutions.

leading Medias across the globe including BBC, CBS News, Washington Times, Indian
Express, Streats-Singapore, Times of India, NDTV, The Age – Australia, etc.
Though his age sounds exciting for a humungous title like CEO, it was also against him. In the year 2003, a Singapore based company approached Globals Inc to outsource their projects worth $38,000. The law stated that an executive signatory must be above 18. This cost him the deal. Nevertheless, he steered Globals Inc further, with sheer determination. His team has grown from a mere 4 members to a staggering 600.
Under his leadership the team has served more than 400 clients including fortune 500 companies. At the 2005 International Business Awards held at New York, he was awarded as the “Best International Business Executive”. He was also awarded
Karnataka State's "Rajyotsava" Award on November 1, 2005 and was the youngest in the state's history to bag this prestigious award.
Suhas’ foremost motive was to establish a platform for youth which encourages them in their chosen IT career and also to build their entrepreneurial skills. Currently, Suhas is perusing his bachelor’s degree in Information Science Engineering at M.S.Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
