The 13 year old would be so fond of being called the CEO of Odd-even.com.
Yes, Akshat Mittal, a 9th grade student who developed oddeven.com which allows you to match your potential carpool and share your ride in the direction of your commute is all over the papers today.
This brilliant mind sold off his Odd-even.com to orahi.com for an undisclosed amount.
This site was developed and launched in December 2015 by Akshat in order to relieve people from the mess that would have been created due to the implementation of the odd even formula in the Delhi NCR area.
Following the all-cash deal, the student of Amity International School in Delhi will be a part of the company's technical advisory board and will be mentored by Orahi for a year.
"The algorithm was developed by me and I look forward to the year-long stint with the board," says Mittal.
The odd-even.com website will re-direct users to the Orahi interface going ahead.
"The name is catchy and easy to remember. It currently has 30,000 users and we anticipate more users to register after the second phase of odd-even rule comes into effect on April 15," says Arun Bhati, chief executive officer of Orahi.
Orahi which focuses on the home office carpool recently started to create a stir among the college students as well. It was successful in raising 3.5 cr from a group of invester named India Angel Network. The company plans on introducing a new product for college-goers to carpool by end of the third quarter of this year.
