Indian-origin founders become world's youngest billionaires at 22

Adarsh Hiremath and Surya Midha, along with their friend Brendan Foody, started a company called Mercor.

They are 22 years old and have become the youngest self-made billionaires in the world.

Mercor uses artificial intelligence to help companies find the right people to hire, especially for tech jobs.

The company is worth about $10 billion.

Adarsh and Surya grew up in California and were great at debating in school.

They went to Harvard and Georgetown universities but left to start their company.

Their idea was to use technology to connect skilled workers with jobs around the world.

This shows that young people can achieve big things if they are curious and willing to take risks.
