An Indian owning a software development company in Dubai might not sound much until you realise that the founder is a 13-year-old student who designs logos and websites for established companies.

Child genius Aadithyan Rajesh who moved to Dubai from the southern Indian state of Kerala proves that genius has no age.

The tech wizard launched his very own company - ‘Trinet Solutions’ in 2017 which now has three employees, most of whom are Rajesh’s friends from school. The company already boasts of providing coding services to at least 12 clients free of cost.
At an age where most kids are agonizing over homework, this child prodigy had already developed his first mobile application in his earnest pursuit of beating the “boredom.”

"I developed an app called 'Ashirwad browser', a web browser similar to Google Chrome but with the lesser customisation. I was 9 when I developed the app, and I used Android Studio," Rajesh told .

But instead of uploading it on Google Store, Rajesh put it up for free on Aptoide, an alternative independent marketplace that lets users upload and access mobile applications for free.

He claims his interest in technology peaked when his family shifted to a neighbourhood where he did not have much company.

The self-made student entrepreneur harbours big dreams for his small yet significant start-up. Apart from expanding its operations to other countries, Rajesh also wants to start designing apps for the iOS platform.

He is currently using his skill to develop an app for his school teachers aimed at reducing their paperwork by replacing most of it with the help of a digital dossier.

In addition, Rajesh is also an active vlogger who often posts new videos on his YouTube channel ‘A Craze’ to share his app development skills with other keen youngsters.
