After the foundation of “Click Agent” and “Blue Lithium”, what’s next in Gurbaksh Chahal’s life? This was the question Gurbaksh was supposed to answer in an interview by Nirvana Woman Magazine. For this question Gurbaksh Chahal , who often goes by as “G” answered “Whatever I do next is not about money. I am in a place where I can ask myself, what’s my passion? I love the excitement of walking up each day & thinking about what I had liked to do next, to merge all my experiences to do something new.”

Chahal’s next projects include the completion of his book currently titled “The Dream” as well as a reality – TV show concept with the same title. Gurbaksh is working with William Morris agency on the reality television concept and his book “The Dream”. To read more about “Gurbaksh Chahal”, visit the site http://www.chahal.com

Having seen the amount of money being made by prominent Internet companies of the 1990s, Gurbaksh founded “Click Agents”, one of the first online Ad networks to focus on the needs of performance-based advertisers, rather than brand advertisers. The business model focused on performance-based Internet advertising solutions. Known in the advertising industry as cost-per-click or CPC, the advertiser only paid when an Internet user clicked on its banner or button advertisement.

Gurbaksh Chahal was the Chief business, sales, and strategic visionary behind the company. Gurbaksh sold Click Agents to ValueClick in November 2000 at the agreed amount $40 million. He stayed with ValueClick for 18 months becoming the youngest executive of the multi-billion dollar NASDAQ-listed company.
