5. His Life….. Sabeer Bhatia ( Gurmukhi : ਸਬੀਰ ਭਾਟੀਆ ) (born 30 December 1968) is an Indian American entrepreneur who founded the Hotmail email service and Jaxtr .

He earned a master degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University . He was engaged to Geeta Oberoi in 2003 but broke his engagement. He was married to Tanya Sharma in 2008 but divorced her in 2013

6. His Career…. After graduation, Sabeer briefly worked for Apple Computer as a hardware engineer and Firepower Systems Inc. While working there he was amazed at the fact that he could access any software on the internet via a web browser. He, along with his colleague Jack Smith , set up Hotmail on 4 July 1996. Into the 21st century, Hotmail is the world's second largest e-mail provider with over 369 million registered users, a figure exceeded only by Google's Gmail service. [2] As President and CEO, he guided Hotmail's rapid rise to industry leadership and its eventual acquisition by Microsoft in 1998. Bhatia worked at Microsoft for a little over a year after the Hotmail acquisition and in April 1999, he left Microsoft to start another venture, Arzoo Inc, an e-commerce firm. Bhatia started a free messaging service called JaxtrSMS . He said that JaxtrSMS , would do "to SMS what Hotmail did for e-mail". Claiming it to be a disruptive technology, he says that the operators will lose revenue on the reduction in number of SMS's on their network but will benefit from the data plan that the user has to buy.

Sabeer Bhatia will take on MS again Sabeer Bhatia, who gained significant fame and money through Hotmail, a free e-mail system he co-developed and sold to Microsoft, has invested in Bangalore-based start-up InstaColl . Declining to disclose the amount invested, Mr Bhatia at a press meet here on Wednesday said he has been involved with the company for over a year and will soon assume the role of chairman. InstaColl converts mainstream desktop applications like the Microsoft office suite to a real-time, interactive environment. It allows individuals and corporate users to collaborate and share information online. E-mail is the default choice of collaboration. However, it suffers from immediacy, which means two people across different locations cannot for example work on a same document simultaneously
