Farrhad Acidwalla (B.Com. LL. B.) is a 29-year-old Indian entrepreneur, 3 time TEDx speaker, and investor. He began as one of the world’s youngest entrepreneurs in his early teens and developed multiple successful digital projects and digital agencies. Farrhad is currently the founder and CEO of Digitallis Age Private Limited. Digitallis advises, strategies and executes digital projects for several large enterprises.
Farrhad attended the prestigious Bombay Scottish School in Mahim and graduated from the renowned H.R. College of Commerce and Economics. He earned a Bachelor of Laws (L.L.B.) from K.C. Law College in Mumbai.
He enjoys socialising with friends, playing video games, reading, watching movies, and playing the guitar. At the age of 16, he launched a website called “Rockstah Media” as a platform for sharing news about rock bands.
Balancing a hectic school schedule with the challenges of running an entrepreneurial venture is a difficult task that Farrhad appears to have mastered. “My main challenges are a lack of time and attempting to multitask. As a student, I must devote time to my studies and other obligations, which leaves little time for me to pursue my other interests. “But, thankfully, I have a lot of support from my family, which I appreciate,” he said.
As the website grew in popularity, Farrhad began to receive advertising offers and began to monetize the site. He used the profits to expand the website and, in 2010, he established Rockstah Media as a full-service digital marketing agency.
