Gurbaksh Singh Chahal (born July 17, 1982) is an Indian-American internet entrepreneur. By age 25, Chahal founded two internet advertising companies, ClickAgents and BlueLithium.[2] He is also the founder of RadiumOne and Gravity4, also online advertising technology companies.

Chahal has a history of committing domestic violence and battery crimes.[3][4][4][5]

Early life

Chahal was born in Tarn Taran Sahib, a city in India’s Punjab state. At age four he moved with his family to San Jose, California. Chahal dropped out of high school at age sixteen to pursue a career in Internet advertising.[6]

Career

Chahal’s first venture was ClickAgents, an advertising network focused on performance-based advertising. In 2000, two years after Chahal started the company, ValueClick (now part of Alliance Data) paid 5.3 million of its shares to purchase ClickAgents.[7]

In 2004, Chahal formed BlueLithium. The company specialized in behavioral targeting of banner advertising, a process that tracks web users' habits online in order to show ads they are most likely to click.[8] In 2007, Yahoo! bought Blue Lithium for $300 million in cash.[9]

In 2009, Chahal started RadiumOne, an online ad company that focused on creating a new category of real-time advertising.[10][11] RadiumOne was later acquired by RhythmOne.[12]

In July 2014, Chahal launched his fourth technology company in online advertising, named Gravity4 (the company has since been renamed DaVinci Marketing Cloud).[13][14]

Philanthropy

After the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, Chahal founded the Chahal Foundation. The foundation is designed to create awareness campaigns to stop future hate crimes, provide scholarships, support disaster relief efforts, and improve schools in third-world countries.[15]

Domestic violence and battery conviction

In August 2013, Chahal was charged by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office with domestic violence.[16] On April 16, 2014, Chahal pleaded guilty to one charge of domestic violence battery and one charge of battery, for which he was sentenced to three years' probation, a 52-week domestic violence training course, and 25 hours of community service.[17] After this domestic violence incident, Chahal was fired as CEO of RadiumOne by the company's board of directors on April 27, 2014.[18][19][20]

In 2016, after evidence emerged of a second domestic violence incident, a court found he had violated his probation. Chahal was sentenced to one year in jail, but the sentence was stayed pending appeal.[21][22] In April 2018, a California state appeals court upheld the 2016 ruling. The court found Chahal guilty of violating his probation when he attacked a woman a year after his domestic violence conviction for beating a different girlfriend in his San Francisco penthouse.[5] As of August 31, 2018, he is serving six months in San Francisco County Jail for the parole violation.[23]
