His entrepreneurial odyssey began in January 1999 when, at just 16, Chahal founded ClickAgents, an avant-garde ad network championing performance-based advertising.

Not resting on his laurels, Chahal then established BlueLithium, a company that excelled in data, optimization, and analytics, rapidly becoming a behemoth in behavioral targeting. Under his leadership, BlueLithium was not only recognized as a top innovator but also caught the eye of Yahoo!, which acquired it for $300 million in 2007. His third venture, RadiumOne, further cemented his status as a tech visionary by transforming into a leading programmatic platform powered by social data, culminating in its acquisition by RhythmOne in 2017.
An inventor at heart, Chahal holds 11 patents from the USPTO for the revolutionary ShareGraph(TM) technology and an additional patent for RedLotus' NeuralBank(TM) technology, with more innovations in the pipeline.
Chahal's journey and insights have garnered international attention, leading to appearances on global stages and prestigious publications, including the Oprah Winfrey Show and Men's Health. His contributions to entrepreneurship were recognized with an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Commercial Science from Pace University in 2010 and numerous accolades, including the DGSMC's global entrepreneur award presented by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Leaders in Management Award from President Donald Trump.
A respected speaker, Chahal has imparted his knowledge at esteemed institutions worldwide, from Columbia University, UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Cambridge University, London School of Economics, Pace University, Ryerson University, CSU Hayward, Evergreen College and most recently, The Indian School of Business, showcasing his commitment to nurturing the next generation of business leaders.
Beyond his business acumen, Chahal is a philanthropist at heart, authoring the international best-seller "The Dream," and founding The Chahal Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to social causes ranging from disaster relief to fighting child sex trafficking, demonstrating his profound belief in giving back to society.
