5. How young is too young to startup?
 For 15-year old Shravan Kumaran and his 14-year old brother Sanjay
Kumaran, the question is irrelevant as they have been running a company
since 2012.
 Identified as youngest Mobile Application Programmers in India and one
of the youngest in the World, the duo have been making apps for both
Android and iOS applications. “We have developed over 11 applications
and also released a couple of Windows apps. We code our apps and learnt
by getting a lot of books, reading them thoroughly and trying and solve all
the problems in the books. That is how we learnt programming,” says
Sanjay Kumaran.

6.  They are mostly inspired by Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Wright Brothers.
 Their main mission is that their app should be used by a majority of world
population. These two brothers have already launched and developed 12
apps, which offer solutions to some of the most challenging social
problems in India.

7. Taking forward by the young
Entrepreneurs…
 The only cost involved for the young brothers is purchase of the gadgets
and for this aspect, his father steps in. The brothers say that it is a dad-
funded company and therefore they do worry about looking out for
venture capital. Their father accepts the ideas and will arrange for buying
of the gadgets. In the process of developing the apps, both Shravan and
Sanjay discuss their ideas and work together. When then end up with two
different approaches, they usually present to their parents and friends, take
their valuable feedback and finally implement the better one.

8.  They always wanted to break the middle-class thinking of having a degree
and looking out for a job. They wanted to have a company of their own.
They always wanted to change the thought process of the people and
communicate by the apps developed by them. They believe that great UI is
the key for any successful business.

9. Their Innovations ...
 Four different applications have been launched by the brothers who include
Prayer Planet, Colour Palette, Alphabet board, Catch Me Cop, which can be
used on apple and Google Play Store.
 They are also working on the app ‘Emergency Boat’, which helps in connecting
with 6 different emergency contacts in emergency situations.
 Going beyond apps, the brothers have also created their own Virtual Reality
device and they have named is as GoVR, with which Virtual Reality can be
experienced by using the headset and by placing the phone.

10.  When certain virtual reality products are available in the market at a very
high price, the device developed by these brothers is offered at a much
low price compared to others in the market.

11. Success...
 At such a very young, they were invited by various business schools like
IIM-Bangalore, IIT Madras, IBS Hyderabad, Wellingkar Management
Institute. Both brothers experience great fun while speaking to live
audience and they express that they prepare the presentations on their
own and then take any further improvements from family and friends for
betterment.
 The most exciting part while talking about their success is that, the apps
have received more than 70,000 downloads from over 53 different
countries, proving that the gift of the father was a doorway to a bright
future. Their father helped them in moving forward in their journey by
gifting them with a Mac book and an iPad.

13. Technology accompanied by a social
cause...

young boys. They always desired to develop the apps that can help the
senior citizens and other apps that would work on the pollution aspects of
a particular place.
 They were always taught by their dad to do some good to the community
by helping the unprivileged and needy people. They donate 15% of their
profits for the education of the needy children.
 Even on social front, they have some up with the all GoDonate, which
facilitates for food donation to local charities, which would otherwise go
waste.

14.  Social impact is the essential deciding factor behind every project taken up
by the boys. Their huge and responsible designations have never stopped
them from brainstorming, planning and execution together. The vision set
by them for the company is to create simple solutions for the new and
complex digital world.

15. Future Ambition...
 Their ambition is to build the thinnest and the fastest tablet at a very
affordable rate for the rural people meant for their development. They are

impaired by providing navigation by using their phones. Their interest
towards robotics accompanied by the teachings and inputs by their dad
has developed their interest towards this.

16.  They have set up a vision that in the next few years, most of the
smartphones being used world-wide should have their company’s
applications running on the handsets.

17. The Buck does not stop here...
 Both brothers being inspired by innovation brought by Steve Jobs and by
the technical skills and ability of Bill Gates never kept money as their focus.
