Rediff Profile of Naveen Jain

This Baby Bill is smarter than papa is. So the media said when he quit Microsoft in 1996 to start his own venture, Infospace.com, Inc, after working for Bill Gates for seven years.

Naveen Jain, 39, founded InfoSpace four years ago after serving Microsoft as a group manager. He had realized he could take the OEM model that Microsoft had for computers and extend it to the Internet. He built InfoSpace with the idea that he was not going to make people come to InfoSpace; instead, he was going to take InfoSpace everywhere where people normally went. That place could be MSN, The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, Lycos or any one of hundreds of sites.

Naveen Jain is today the chairman, CEO and founder of the leading provider of private label solutions for content and commerce to portals and Internet appliances. Based in Redmond, WA, InfoSpace.com's content is used by top portals, including MSN, AOL, Lycos, Netscape, and NBC and CNET's Snap.

"It was never easy to leave Microsoft. It is a great company to work for. But, one gets tired of making billions for Bill and we think why not make billions for ourselves," Jain told Rediff On The NeT in a telephone interview.
