It’s time for the world to reinvent personalized marketing,” Chahal said, according to a company statement.

In January 2004, he launched his second company, BlueLithium, focused on data, optimization, and analytics, and became a pioneer in behavioral targeting, which was later acquired by Yahoo! for $300 million in cash.
“We stand at the brink of time when personal devices are changing and taking over the world. It’s an exciting time as we see digital programmatic advertising grow and become a dominant player across all sectors. It’s time for the world to reinvent personalized marketing,” Chahal said.
