Rockstah Entrepreneur Out of India
Background
When Farrhad Acidwalla was in the eighth grade, he borrowed $10 from his parents to buy his first domain name. He began building a web community devoted to aviation and aero-modeling. The website became very successful and eventually Farrhad decided to move on, selling the site for much more than his initial $10 investment.
Successful Ventures
Many similar ventures followed. Each took his achievement to another level and the appreciations left him humble. This motivated him to offer his work under the name of his company. He soon would be presented with more options to grow his ideas and mold them into business ventures. Showing promiss at such a young age proves that Farrhad has what it takes to be a successful entrepreneuer.
Where is he today?
Since creating his first website, Farrhad has launched Rockstah Media, a cutting-edge company devoted to Web development, marketing, advertisement, and branding. It is just over a year old but it has clients and a full fledged team of developers, designers and market strategists spread across the globe. As the CEO and founder, Farrhad is responsible for taking care of the clients and guiding the creative team to success.
At 16, Farrhad is planning to continue running Rockstah Media, while studying finance at India’s prestigious H.R. College of Commerce & Economics. Even though he is in college he still finds time to manage and run his company. At only 16 years old, this is an outstanding accomplishment.
Farrhad’s success has gained a lot of attention. JuniorBiz.com, a site that aknowledges young entrepreneuers and their ideas interviewed Farrhad about his ideas.

This is an exceptional story! There are not many sixteen year old boys who would be in college and running a business at the same time. Farrhad seems to have a natural tact for entrepreneurship. The field of web development is so new and its a great field for him to be able to grow and expand his company and skills in. I can’t wait to see what Farrhad does in the future.
I love stories like this. It’s really amazing how the internet has democratized the art of starting and running businesses, allowing anyone to grow a wildly successful business from the absolutely minimum investment of owning a domain name. Anyone, even from one of the poorest and most poopulated countries in Asia, can reach a massive audience just as easily as a billionaire investor can through the web. Farrhad’s channeling of his creative talent into something that became widely popular is a great story, and your post nicely sums up his story.
Wow, that’s an amazing story! One of the first things I thought of when you were describing his business was what it must feel like for the rest of the team to know that they are working for a 16-year-old.
This is a great example of being able to start a huge business with very limited start-up funding. When you know how to market your business idea, you can quickly reach a large audience over the internet.
He is a great inspiration for all young entrepreneurs! Not only does it show that he had a great idea and followed through with it, but it is also a story of his dedication to learning and furthering his career in business school even though he is already wildly successful with his company.
