Born in 1995 in Hyderabad, Nischal Narayanam is India's youngest Chartered Accountant and the world's youngest Double Guinness World Record holder in recent times. A child prodigy, he was awarded the National Child Award by the former President of India Late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Azad when he was 11 years old.

Nischal's journey in mathematics began at the age of nine when he identified a calculation error in his father's accounting book. His mother, Dr. Padmavathy, nurtured his talent, and by nine, Nischal had earned the title of 'Ganitavadhani' by performing the intricate 'Ganitha Ashtavadhanam,' a rare mathematical feat.

In the fifth grade, Nischal saw his friends struggling to understand geometric concepts on a 2D blackboard. To address this, he established India’s first mathematics lab at ten years old, promoting the idea of “learning by doing.” This initiative earned him the National Child Award (Gold Medal) from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Azad. A memorable interaction with Dr Kalam, where he asked Nischal how many times he had "revolved around the sun," profoundly impacted his perspective on education.

Nischal received mentorship from around 42 mathematicians worldwide, learning diverse methodologies, including Indian Vedic mathematics, Chinese abacus, and Russian Metrology. At ten, he authored a comprehensive set of seven books blending these methodologies. His accomplishments led him to become the youngest Guinness World Record holder in memory power at 11, memorizing 225 random objects in 12 minutes. He also became the first Indian to win the prestigious World Memory Championship title at twelve. At thirteen, he earned a second Guinness World Record for the 'Longest Sequence of Numbers Memorized in 1 Minute.' Remarkably, he completed grades 8-12 simultaneously at thirteen.

Nischal's achievements attracted international and national media attention, including BBC and Middle East networks. His story was featured in the National Geographic Channel documentary "My Brilliant Brain," where he was recognised as one of the ‘7 Brilliant Brains in the World.’

At fifteen, Nischal founded Nischal’s Smart Learning Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (nischals) with a focus on "Experimental & Experiential Learning." The company aims to address the lack of math and science labs in over 90% of Indian schools by introducing patented Portable and Micro-scale Labs. Seven years of extensive research led to 15+ education products, 50+ national awards, and the transformation of education in over 5,000 schools.

At 16, Nischal earned his Bachelor's degree. By 2015, he had obtained Master's degrees in Mathematics and Commerce from Osmania University, Hyderabad, making him the youngest Double Postgraduate. At 19, he became India's youngest Chartered Accountant.

Currently, Nischal serves as the founder and mentor of Nischal’s Smart Learning Solutions, dedicating 80% of his time to R&D. He continues to revolutionise traditional educational practices, promoting inclusive and experiential learning across India.
