Many
of us had the pleasure of
getting know Divyank and
Bhavin when they began
attending and sponsoring
U.S. domain conferences in
mid 2000's to promote
another of their companies -
domain monetization service Skenzo.com.
Divyank was especially
active on the conference
scene where he was often a
featured speaker who shared
his invaluable insight into
our business. In September
2008 I wrote a Cover
Story profile of Divyank
that proved to be one of the
most popular we have ever
published.
I
snapped this photo of (left to

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Co-Founder Rick
Schwartz and Diyank
Turakhia when we were
running around Disney World
in Orlando one night when the
park was made available
exclusively to attendees of
the 2008 T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
East conference that was
held there.
While
Divyank switched his focus to
the Internet advertising world
with Media.net, Bhavin has
continued to have a big impact
on our industry with his
latest company, Radix
Registry, a key
player in the new gTLD
space. Bhavin's success has
caught the eye of the
mainstream business world as
well, in fact we just learned
today that he won two
2016 Entrepreneur
Magazine India Entrepreneur
of the Year Awards at
ceremonies conducted last
night in New Delhi.

the two Entrepreneur
Magazine
Entrepreneur of the Year
Awards he won last night
(photo Bhavin shared on
Facebook).
Bhavin,
who won the Innovation in
Tech and Serial
Entrepreneur of the Year
awards said, "The credit
belongs to the awesome team
Directi
- the absolute best of
the people that I have the
privilege to work with daily, my
brother Divyank...without
whom none of this would have
been fun!...and most
importantly, our Dad,
who has always taught us -
"You can achieve
anything you set your mind to."
Divyank
and Bhavin have certainly
proved that over and over
again. For me, the most
gratifying thing about seeing
their continued success is
that it absolutely could not
have happened to two nicer
guys. |
