With no formal education in computers, Khan has learnt everything about computers from books and from his round the clock available teacher ‘Google gurudev’. It all began in 2005 when his younger brother Idrees, a B.tech in computer science, left his books at home before moving for job in Gurgaon. “In my free time, I began studying his books and designed a website after learning about HTML,” Khan recalled.
