Yes, its “empires” because they established not just one but 11 companies together.

Read the whole story of the Turakhia brothers who have no chills when it comes to business.

Mumbai based Turakhia brothers have always had it in their mind to do something big even when they were just teenagers. It seems they were gifted with genius minds, as they joined B.com program but they used to skip college in order to learn to code.

Divyank Turkhia loved to code so much that he soon built his first game with his brother that would monitor the price of the stock exchange. They never used to really attend college and would rather stay home, doing their own inventions.

Soon enough they started their first company Directi together in 1998, with the investment of 25,000 which they borrowed from their father. When the first company was found, Bhavin was 18 and Divyank was merely 16 years old. Directi is a web hosting company that provides website domains and internet related services to other companies.

Being active on social media is not a big thing, everybody seems to be online everybody, seems to have his own Facebook, Instagram or YouTube account. But do we actually know why we are using social media or the social platform at all? It seems that people are oblivious of the causes and consequences of social media, there might be some good consequences of using social media if you have a good desire to do something for the world.

Sincerely and positively you can use social media to invent change the world, and leave us there are people who are doing the same there are some individuals around the world who are using social media and social web platforms to change the world; they have this obsession of being something useful to this world.

This is high time we should learn about them and try using social media not just to make fancy pictures or upload some useless videos. We should use it as a tool to shape society.
