When it comes to success stories from self-made business people, Divyank Turakhia of Directi Group has a unique story to tell.
Mr Turakhia saw his assets hit the million mark when he was aged 18 after venturing out alone at 14 advising businesses on their internet operations.
Last year, the young entrepreneur's company was valued at $100 million (£53 million) as its customer base hit 100,000, DN Journal reported.
As well as the software firm, which he co-owns with his brother Bhavin, Divyank got into the domain name business in 1999 and explained "we made a substantial amount of money by selling domains at a low cost".
The pair built up the Directi group by borrowing just $600 from their parents.
According to the company's website, the Directi Group is valued at over $300 million, employs over 550 workers and produces more than 25 different software products to companies internationally.
