Youngest CEO ready to take on fake drug mafia
LUCKNOW: Medicine mafia involved in the sale of fake drugs and schoolchildren who habitually bunk classes are in for trouble if this 23-year-old has his way. And, he has already proved that he specialises in having his way.
From the age of 14, when he was recognised as the world���s youngest certified professional web-developer through his project coolhindustan.com, Suhas Gopinath, CEO and president of Globals Inc, carries with aplomb the tag of the world���s youngest CEO.

Hailing from a middle class family of Bangalore, where his father was a defence scientist, Suhas set up Globals Inc, in 2000 at San Jose, California as he was not allowed to set up a company in India due to his age. From then Globals Inc has grown as a multinational IT consulting company with representation in over 11 countries.
So, when he plans a tie-up with pharmaceutical companies to check the rising menace of medicine mafia, he seriously means business.
���I really want to focus on R&D now and offer a software solution for the education and pharmaceutical sectors,��� Suhas said, adding that the mafia in the pharmaceutical sector had spread its tentacles everywhere.
���To counter that,��� he said, ���the company has come up with a software solution that would warn the retailers if a particular drug is fake.���
