Meet Nischal Narayanam, 19, the youngest CA of India!

Hyderabad: Mathematical genius Nischal Narayanam has accomplished yet another remarkable triumph by clearing CA final at a young age of nineteen years and became the youngest Chartered Accountant in the country. He was felicitated for this achievement by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on Wednesday.

Osmania University professor, Purushottam Rao, congratulated and lauded the youngest CA of the country by naming him ‘gifted child’ with his stupendous accomplishments with double degrees and extraordinary records at a very young age. Talking about the reason for his success, Nischal says, “The only reason for what I’m today is because of the endless family support that I had.

I had to prepare 14 long hours in a day for my examinations and there were days when I was becoming restless. It was my mother who stood by me and motivated all the time.” Nischal’s parents Narayanam Nageswara Rao, an industrialist and Dr Padmavathy, a doctorate in Sanskrit literature from OU, expressed their happiness and felt proud at their boy’s performance through these years. Nischal’s tryst with fame dates back to the previous decade.

Blessed with a super power memory and razor sharp mind, he holds a double Guinness World Record — for memorising random objects in 2006 and for memorising numbers in 2009. He was later accredited by The National Geographic Channel as one of the ‘7 Brilliant Brains of the World’. He also became the youngest graduate from Osmania University along with being the youngest post graduate. He also had won a gold medal in 2008 for ‘National Child Awardee for Exceptional Achievement’.

“Staying focused and having patience is always required to be successful in life, the amount of happiness we get in our success can swipe away the pain we took to achieve it,” he suggested. Nikhil, elder brother of Nischal, says, “Nischal was always like an ordinary boy and it is still astonishing to know about his achievement. He was the captain of the basketball team in his schooling and he is a movie bug.”

Nischal is the youngest CA amongst 2 lakh members, globally from Deloitte International audit firm where he did his Articleship. He started Nischal’s Smart Learning Solution Pvt Ltd (NSLS) at the age of 13 years with the intention of serving the society, now tied up with UNICEF and through which 500-600 students were benefited financially and in other ways.

His main motto is to promote educational products to the rural areas where there is no proper structured school or college life, guidance and faculty. Till now two lakh schools have been served by NSLS all over the country. “I am ambitious to promote humanity in a positive way. To bring awareness about importance of education in rural areas is what I’m looking forward for,” concludes this young CA achiever.
