Chennai: Meet Shravan Kumaran and his younger brother Sanjay Kumaran – two
of the youngest promoters of a company. Aged only 12 and 10 respectively,
Shravan is the Co-Founder and President of Go Dimensions while his brother is
Co-Founder and CEO.
When most adults have trouble understanding Java code, these two
kids have used the code to build mobile applications. The brothers have together
developed four apps for the Apple Store, which have been downloaded more than
10,000 times from 20 countries.
Clad in grey suits and ties, these two highly-confident children
demonstrated their apps to the media, on the iOS and Android platforms, for
games, education and entertainment.
Students of Vaels Billabong High International School, both
Shravan’s and Sanjay’s interest in computers started early at home when their
father got them a desktop computer. Starting with Paint and games on the PC, the
two started to make presentations at school and teachers encouraged them to do
more. That’s how they turned into mobile app developers.
In the CatchMeCop game application, a convict escapes from prison
and there is a nationwide hunt for the convict. The convict has to run through a
desert, a beach and a maze to outsmart the cops. There are multiple levels of
this application, which saw nearly 2,000 downloads in the first month of
development. In fact, tech media Web site CNET has reviewed this application
too.
The other three applications are Alphabet board, a learning app
for the iPhone and iPad; Prayer Planet (for religious prayers of various
communities) and Colour Palette, a learning app for kids to learn colours.
The apps are free for download, says Shravan. The company will
make money on advertisements in their apps, he said. Fore more details click www.godimensions.com - TH-
