At the age of 9, Jeet started his first business. That website, Powerdunk, held his interest until he was about 11 and then normal "pre-teen" interests began to take precedence and he lost interest in the website, but that entrepreneurial spark never faded. As a high school student, Jeet got a "real" job working for his father's company, but he eventually realized that he really wanted to carve his own path and be in control of the way that he earned money. He started JB Media Force, a web design & development company,  and started picking up small clients. Eventually he established an offshore team to handle the projects while he took care of sales. Although the company was continuing to grow, Jeet soon realized that he had aspirations for something bigger.
