Bhatia and Smith started working on the e-mail service in 1995, and the following year, after getting an investment of $ 300, they managed to put it on the air. The idea was good, but it took a while to put it into practice. Along with colleague Jack Smith, Bhatia wanted to create an email that could not be spied on by anyone and could be accessed via the web. Indian developer Sabeer Bhatia arrived in the United States in the late 80s, and in the following decade he started working on communication technologies. But as more and more users gained access to the network, that needed to change.īut that changed in the mid-90s.
