For someone who landed a good position at Microsoft Corporation under Bill Gates, resigning would be the boldest thing to do. However, that is precisely what Uttar Pradesh, India-born Naveen Jain did. He exited gracefully from his job to stop making money for Gates and start making some for himself.

Prior to his migration to the United States, Naveen Jain attended the Indian Institute of Technology where he received his bachelor’s degree in engineering and his Master’s degree from Xavier School in Jamshedpur, India.

Considered a successful business entrepreneur who is at the top of his game, he currently heads his IT company called Intelius Incorporated, where he is its chief executive officer. He is listed as one of the wealthiest individuals in the world.

Married to Anu and the father of three kids, Naveen Jain continuously works hard to earn his fortune and keep his company on top. He is a true visionary and one who unhurriedly accomplished his visions all by himself.

With Naveen Jain at the helm, Intelius has won accolades from various award giving bodies like the American Business Awards (for Best New Company in 2006). Even Washington CEO Magazine acknowledged the company’s impressive performance and listed it as among the top 150 private businesses in the Washington state.

Intelius would not be what it is today if it were not for its CEO. The numerous honors it has received through the years are proof of the ingenious work and effort its founder given throughout the years. His skills in entrepreneurship, coupled with an aggressive work ethic, have led him to the complete success that he is today. At Intellius Inc, he is its fuel and driver. With such character, it comes as no surprise that he has propelled himself to the highest rankings of young IT innovators and business tycoons.
