Balachandar Karthikeyan, founder and CEO of Bringar Apps LLC, turns 30 today. Born on October 12, 1994, in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, he developed a passion for technology early on, which later drove him to establish his own company and lead it across three countries: the United States, India, and Dubai.
Balachandar founded Bringar Apps in 2018, building it into a global chatbot company without external funding. His hands-on approach and focus on creating cutting-edge technology have been central to his company’s success, allowing it to operate across different markets independently.
One of Balachandar’s most impactful achievements has been helping millions of small businesses worldwide by offering his chatbot solutions free of cost. While other companies charge hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for similar services, Balachandar's products have enabled businesses to grow without the financial burden, making advanced technology accessible to everyone.
In 2024, Balachandar was awarded an honorary doctorate in innovation and technology by a university in Delhi. Now addressed as Dr. Balachandar Karthikeyan, this recognition acknowledges his work in the field of technology.
In addition to his work in tech, Balachandar collaborated with the founders of WhatsApp and Signal, contributing to both platforms during key moments of their growth.
Outside of his professional achievements, Balachandar is a devoted animal lover. He actively supports animal welfare, making regular donations to various animal charities. His contributions reflect a personal commitment to helping improve the lives of animals in need.
Recently, his work in Dubai was recognized when he received the prestigious Dubai Golden Visa. As he turns 30, Balachandar continues to lead Bringar Apps while remaining engaged in his passion for both technology and animal welfare.
