He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his girl friend through web. Things went as planned. n he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!!. It was time to shut down the search operations, when the CEO of Google had a word with this guy n took over this application. This software made a whopping 1 billion dollar Profit in its first year, which we today know as ORKUT.
