22-year-old Indian-origin entrepreneur Surya Midha has built an estimated fortune of nearly Rs 18,000 crore by co-founding AI startup Mercor, becoming one of the world’s youngest self-made billionaires. Midha co-founded Mercor with Brendan Foody and Adarsh Hiremath, developing an AI-driven platform that matches skilled professionals with companies through automated candidate screening, interviews, and talent matching. The startup experienced rapid growth, attracting major investments and achieving a multibillion-dollar valuation. Midha reportedly became a self-made billionaire at the age of 22, a year earlier than Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg reached the same milestone.
