Young Singapore entrepreneur Harsh Dalal removed from Forbes list

But less than a month after being named on the list of 300 entrepreneurs, the 19-year-old co-founder and chief executive of Singapore-based Team Labs has been removed amid reports that some of his previous claims cannot be verified.

His video interview with Channel News Asia for its On The Red Dot series published in January has garnered over 900,000 views as of Friday . Most of the links on Team Labs' website redirect to a link to create an account, which does not register. CNA’s original article included details of how Dalal had first got into software development through developer forums and how he secured investment from VC firms through virtual calls.

In addition, the number of employees Team Labs said it had in its CNA interview - 120 - also seems to be inflated, with just five employees currently listed on the company's LinkedIn page. Quest Ventures partner Jeffrey Seah noted that Dalal has demonstrated intelligence and eloquence beyond most peers his age, and perhaps these skills could have been used for more purposeful endeavours.
