"My idea is not unique. My story isn’t new. My message isn’t revelatory. But I defied convention. I ventured out onto the unknown and wrote my own clichéd rags to riches story. My story is proof that, to have a successful business, you don’t necessarily have to have a unique idea or product, it can also be about the efficient application of a hackneyed idea to a larger scale or a smaller scale. Which, is my “unique” idea." At a young age of twenty-two, TNM Jawad is the founder and managing director of TNM Online Solutions Private Ltd, a multi- crore IT firm that caters to businesses in over 20 countries. Hailing from Kannur, Kerala, this man took it upon himself to lift his family out of a financial turmoil by launching a website designing company at seventeen. Powering through various setbacks, he bought his family a house at 19 years of age, and a BMW at 21. Today, with 954 delivered projects to 917 clients, TNM Online Solutions is rapidly expanding as an excellent web design company in Asia. Mr. Jawad has now set up an academy to help people like him gain pragmatic knowledge in the art of website designing and develop other technical skills irrespective of their age or educational qualification.
