Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran
India's Youngest Mobile Application Programmers
In a world where prodigious talent can emerge from the most unexpected of places, two young brothers from Chennai, India, have made their mark as the country's youngest app developers and entrepreneurs.
Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran, who were in classes 6 and 8 when their journey began, created a buzz by becoming India's youngest co-founders and CEOs. Their incredible accomplishments earned them a spot on the prestigious "30 Under 30" list.
In 2011, at ages 8 and 10, the Kumaran brothers embarked on a remarkable journey by founding their own company, GoDimensions.
Located in Chennai, their company's headquarters was a space where innovation and youthful energy thrived. Sanjay assumed the role of the official CEO, while Shravan took on the mantle of President.
Fueling their journey was their father, Kumaran Surendran, who instilled a passion for programming in his young sons. From an early age, both boys displayed a keen interest in computers and began creating PowerPoint presentations at the tender age of four.
Recognising their potential, their father decided to introduce them to the world of programming at a remarkably young age.
Their journey in app development started with the creation of "Catch Me Cop," a gaming app inspired by the popular childhood game in India known as 'chor-police.' However, this was just the beginning.
The Kumaran brothers went on to create a range of apps, including educational apps like "Alphabet Board" and "Colour Palette," an emergency service app called "Emergency Booth," a prayer app, and gaming apps like "Superhero" and "Car Racing." In total, they developed 150 test apps.
The remarkable aspect of their journey was their ability to produce innovative apps that catered to a global audience. Their apps were downloaded and enjoyed in over 50 countries, leaving a lasting impact.
After their incredible accomplishments in India, the Kumaran brothers set their sights on acquiring higher education in the United States. Both Shravan and Sanjay pursued computer science degrees at Texas A&M University.
Today, their LinkedIn profiles reflect their careers as tech professionals. Shravan works as a Software Developer for Salesforce in San Francisco, while Sanjay is a Software Engineer Intern with Microsoft.
Shravan Kumaran, at the age of 14, and his younger brother Sanjay, at 12, were identified as the youngest Mobile Application Programmers in India, an achievement that set them on a path of unparalleled success.
The brothers went on to co-found GoDimensions, a company that was their first step into the entrepreneurial world. As Co-Founder and President and Co-Founder & CEO, respectively, they embarked on an incredible journey that has not only set records but inspired countless young minds.
Their success was not limited to app development; it extended to their ability to balance academics, research, and business development while actively participating in lectures and presentations on academic and industry platforms.
Their accomplishments have led them to speak at prestigious events like IIM-Bangalore, TedX, CII conferences, and SAP Tech University in Bangalore.
As they chart their future path, Shravan and Sanjay remain committed to excelling academically while continuing to develop innovative apps and grow their business.
Their determination is an inspiring example of how young talents can make a significant impact on the world. As they put it, "excelling academically is of prime importance as we aspire to get into the country's best professional colleges."
With their focus and dedication, the Kumaran brothers are poised to achieve great heights in both the academic and entrepreneurial worlds, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.
