"Godfather of AdSense" Gokul Rajaram Joins isocket Board

We are excited to announce another world-class addition to the isocket team! Two weeks ago we welcomed Ex-Googler David Scacco. Today we’re announcing another Ex-Googler on the isocket Advisory Board – the man who lead the creation and growth of Google’s AdSense.

Gokul Rajaram joined Google in January 2003 and served until November 2007 as the Product Management Director for AdSense. He earned the nickname “The Godfather of AdSense” for leading one of the most disruptive cash cows in the business.

Gokul received the President’s Gold Medal as Valedictorian of IIT in India. He also has an M.S. in Computer Science from UT Austin and an M.B.A. from MIT. At Google he helped drive a number of acquisitions, including DoubleClick, AdScape and dMarc. He’s currently the head of Chai Labs, a stealth startup.

Here’s a “where are they now” piece from Fortune Magazine about Gokul.

Please join us in welcoming both Gokul and David to our project!

Very happy to hear “An Indian rocks in American IT profile”.

The reason behind is, they (Americans) are providing “Elephant salary” for Indian IT people.

Hmmm…

Hope Indians will use back to work for India…

Currently the new Indian search Engine evaluating the Search Marketing. We (Indians) hopes it will occupy the Full Indian Market in 2020.
