Intelius Founder Naveen Jain is a dedicated spouse to his wife Anu and a father of three children. His son Ankur is determined to emulate his father’s business expertise.

Naveen Jain has worked for Microsoft Corporation where he helped launch the Microsoft Network. He then founded InfoSpace, a content provider for websites and later on, Intelius, an online information service provider. These companies made Jain one of < a href=”http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/30/forbes-400-gates-buffett-wealth-rich-list-09_land.html”>Forbes’ 400 Billionaires in America. He has also engaged in philanthropic activities by giving financial support to people and communities in need and organizations that focuses on youth and family, health care, education, and poverty reduction. He has given scholarships to undergraduate students of business, engineering, and computer science in the University of Washington.

Naveen Jain has always valued education since he observed the illiteracy of his fellowmen when he was growing up in India. Ankur has also acquired this love for education. According to him, “I always wanted to contribute to the development of the education sector.”

A sophomore at the Wharton School of Business, Ankur acknowledged that his father inspired him to become an entrepreneur. “My father instilled in me the idea that everyone can shape their own destiny; they can’t wait for things to happen, they have to make them happen,” he said. He is a president of Kairos Society, a non-profit organization founded in 2007 to encourage college students to become entrepreneurs. He dreams of one day surpassing the achievements of Larry Page and Sergey Brin through Google. “They have been my role models ever since I was a child. When in face of adversity, I think of them. It only makes me more resolute in my endeavour,” he said.

With role models like that and a renowned father like Naveen, the younger Jain will, in all probability, succeed in whatever he focuses his attention on.
