Success Story Surya Midha Mercor: While most of the youth are busy finishing college, finding a job or setting up a career at the age of 22, young Indian-origin entrepreneur Surya Midha has achieved such a level that people can only imagine. At the age of just 22, Surya Midha has become one of the world's youngest self-made billionaires. The special thing is that he has achieved this feat at an age when even Mark Zuckerberg had not become a billionaire.
Surya Midha along with his friends Brendan Foody and Adarsh Hiremath started AI based startup Mercor. This company does not work like a normal job portal. Mercor is a completely artificial intelligence-based platform that connects companies with people who can help with AI model training, research, and technical work. The most important thing is that here AI does the work from interview to skill test and candidate selection. This was the reason why the company grew rapidly in a very short time.
Mercor benefited from the rapidly increasing demand in the AI sector. Big investment companies invested money in it and the growth of the company kept gaining momentum. According to reports, the company's annual revenue in 2025 was around $100 million, which will increase to around $500 million in a few months. This boom took the company's valuation to around $10 billion. With the success of the company, its three founders also joined the list of billionaires.
Surya Midha is being discussed all over the world because he left Mark Zuckerberg behind in becoming a billionaire at a young age. While Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire at the age of 23, Surya Midha achieved this feat at the age of 22.
Surya Midha and his friends do not come from any big business family. He was a friend of the debate team and decided to leave his studies to start his own startup. Today his story has become a great inspiration for those youth who want to do something different.
