It's one of the most valuable
brands today, so it's often surprising when people learn that Apple's first
computers were built in a small garage in Cupertino, California.
In 1976, Steve Wozniak created the first Apple computer. He then joined
forces with the late Steve Jobs and another partner, Ronald Wayne, to
launch Apple Computer Co. from Jobs' adopted parents' garage
. One of their first big orders was from a local retailer who ordered 50
computers at $500 apiece, which they were able to produce in just 30
days. Although Wayne had already abandoned the business, Jobs and
Wozniak successfully reached their goal in just 30 days.
Today, the Silicon Valley home where Jobs grew up is listed as one of the
city's historic properties.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford in the mid-1990s and decided
they wanted to start a company together. Two years later, the partners
established Google's headquarters in Susan Wojcicki's 2,000-foot Menlo
Park garage for $1,700 a month. At the time, Wojcicki—who held a senior
vice president position at Google until January 2014—was a recent business
school graduate and rented out her garage to the Google guys in order to
make her mortgage payments.
Within one year, the Google team would outgrow the garage space and
move to an office in Palo Alto along with their eight employees.

21. Amul
The mighty Ganges at it's origin is but a tiny stream in the Gangotri ranges
of the Himalayas. Similar is the story of Amul which inspired 'Operation
Flood' and heralded the 'White Revolution' in India.
It began with two village cooperatives and 250 liters of milk per day,
nothing but a trickle compared to the flood it has become today.
Today Amul collects, processes and distributes over a million liters of milk
and milk products per day, during the peak, on behalf of more than a
thousand village cooperatives owned by half a million farmer members.
Further, as Ganga-ma carries the aspirations of generations for moksha,
Amul too has become a symbol of the aspirations of millions of farmers.
Creating a pattern of liberation and self-reliance for every farmer to
follow.
