Kumaran brothers

Leading the list of what you might call "infant" entrepreneurs are Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran of Chennai, who have conceptualised the software firm GoDimensions four years back in 2012 when they were just 12-year-old and 10-year-old respectively.

In an age when we talk about VC fundings, both of them smile and reveal, "we are a dad-funded company... we do not go to a VC to pitch our ideas, but instead approach our dad. " Apart from being the youngest CEOS in India, the duo has also been recognised as the youngest Mobile Application Programmers in India, by Apple, after they launched their first mobile phone application when Shravan was in eighth grade, while Sanjay was studying in the sixth grade.

Yes, they are India’s youngest app developers. These two have proven that the question of age is rather irrelevant. They have since developed 11 other mobile phone applications for both Android and iOS, which have recorded downloads of over 70,000. They also launched an app for the Windows platform recently.
“We code our apps and we learnt by reading a lot of books, trying to solve all the problems. That is how we learnt programming," says the younger one, Sanjay Kumaran.
