14-year-old Jainam Jain has started an AI company called ‘Mango Engine’, whose office is in Burj Khalifa, Dubai. He passed 10th at the age of 13 and mastered AI without any formal course. His startup focuses on business automation.
At an age when most children play games on smartphones, a 14-year-old boy is running his own company. Yes, this is the story of 14 year old Jainam Jain. Jainam has formed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) company named ‘Mango Engine’ and has also opened its office in the world famous building Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
This is a surprising success story of a 14 year old boy. Born in Pune, Maharashtra, when Jainam Jain was five years old, his family shifted to Dubai. There were heaps of books in his house. Since then this small child had a passion to do something big. At the age of just 6, Jainam attended a business meeting with his father. His interest in business and technology arose from there. This small beginning lit a spark in the hearts of both Jainam and her sister. Over a summer vacation, this brother-sister duo attended 50 networking events in 50 days to better understand the art of communication, skills and relationship building. The next year, he challenged himself to read 50 books on self-improvement in 50 days.
In 2022, the brother-sister toured across Maharashtra, aiming to conduct 100 motivational programs in 50 days and inspire 50,000 people. But they went beyond the target. “In 50 days, we completed 120 programmes, covered more than 6,000 kilometers and reached out to more than 50,000 people,” recalls Jainam. He took sessions in schools, colleges, NGOs and companies, where he spoke on entrepreneurship, public speaking and personal development. “It was difficult. We fell ill several times. We were constantly travelling. But it changed our perspective on possibilities,” says Jainam.
a budding youtuber
Before entering the world of AI, Jainam was a YouTuber. At the age of seven, he and his sister started a YouTube channel named ‘JJ Fun Time’. Initially he used to make unboxing videos of toys, but gradually started making videos on science experiments. Within three months, the channel had more than 100,000 subscribers. After this, schools started calling brothers and sisters to share their experiences. Along with creating content, he also started giving motivational speeches.
finished school too early
At the age of 12, Jainam began to explore whether it was possible to finish school early. He learned that students can take IGCSE exams at any age under the Cambridge Curriculum. In Jaipur he found a school that was ready to help him. After about 105 days of preparation and examinations, he passed 10th class at the age of 13. His sister also took the same challenge and did this feat at the age of 10. Meanwhile, the siblings also came into limelight by purchasing the ‘Jio Hotstar’ domain from a Delhi-based software developer.
For a bright and inquisitive mind like Jainam, the next step is always an unresolved question. The answer came in the form of ‘Mango’, which he describes as ‘AI for business’. His startup aims to automate tasks like marketing, lead nurturing, sales, content creation, newsletter, website, communication and customer engagement through a single business profile.
Mastery achieved without taking a course
His product is still in beta version, but he said that about 100 companies have signed up on the waiting list. Jainam explains that his father is on board as a co-founder due to legal age restrictions, although he considers the startup to be essentially a one-man operation. “I focus on operations and product,” he said. The most important thing is that Jainam says that he has never done any formal AI course.
