At 23, IIT Dropout Shashvat Nakrani Becomes Youngest Richest Self-Made Indian
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
At 23, most of us are either finishing the last couple years of education doing post-graduation or are a few years into a new job. Some are still figuring out what they want to do in life. Well, others who are made from a completely different mould make it to the richest individuals list by this young age. Case in point, Shashvat Nakrani. © Twitter/Shashvat Nakrani IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2021 was released recently and the one person that grabbed our eyes was the co-founder of BharatPe, Shashvat Nakrani. He is named the 'youngest richest self-made' individual on the list. At 22, he was also the youngest co-founder in the Fintech space in India. © Fortune India Most of the world's richest entrepreneurs and billionaires including Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates are college dropouts and Nakrani is no exception. He is an IIT Delhi dropout who left college in 2018 to found the UPI payment service provider, BharatPe along with Ashneer Grover and Bhavik Koladiya. © Forbes India He joined IIT-D in 2015 and was studying textile technology before dropping out in 2018. In the third year of college, he realised there was no payment gateway for merchants that did not cut into their margins. © Twitter/Shashvat Nakrani He went on to establish his own company which bridged this gap by the Unified Payments Interface’s (UPI) star feature - interoperability. It allowed merchants to use a single QR code to make transactions for all payment apps which was not available until then. Shashvat has been the Group Product Head in the company. © Amar Ujala Shashvat is now among the 1,007 individuals and stands as the youngest self-made founder in the list. There are 13 individuals on the rich list who are born after the 1990s and they all are self-made. The number one position has been held by the Chairman and MD of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani, for the 10th consecutive year now. © Twitter/DNA Clearly, some people are meant to break the rules and walk on the path to greatness.

At an age when most of us were busy playing video games, fighting with our siblings for our favourite toys, deciding who was more powerful- Superman or Batman, Abhimanyu Mishra, an American child prodigy of Indian-origin, has scripted history, becoming the youngest chess Grandmaster in the world. Abhimanyu achieved the highest title in chess at the age of 12 years, four months and 25 days, shattering Sergey Karjakin's 19-year-old record (12-years-and-7 months) by over two months. However, the road to glory wasn’t as easy as it seemed. The boy from New Jersey already holds the youngest International Master distinction which he earned in November 2019 at 10 years, 9 months and 20 days. In doing so, he had gone past India's R Praggnanandhaa’s record. — Susan Ninan (@ninansusan) June 30, 2021 Ever since he became the world’s youngest International Master last year at the age of 10 years, 9 months and 20 days, Abhimanyu had set his eyes on his next goal which was to become the world’s youngest Grandmaster and he achieved the feat thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. How, you ask? The event -- Vezerkepzo GM Mix -- where Abhimanyu created the new world record wasn’t supposed to happen and took players only because several players had stayed back due to the travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally checkmated the biggest opponent (ongoing pandemic ) which stopped me for 14 months. Thanks everybody for all your love and support. Looking forward for World cup. pic.twitter.com/llao5ZMMhC — Abhimanyu.mishra.chess (Youngest GM) in the world) (@ChessMishra) June 30, 2021 So, the organisers in Budapest decided to conduct the event just to provide him with one final shot at the record and the rest, as they say, is history. Abhimanyu was invited to take part in the FIDE World Cup in Sochi and knew this would be his last chance this month before leaving for Russia. Apart from the fact that he was born in an Indo-American family, Abhimanyu’s story had another Indian connection. He scripted history after defeating 15-year-old Indian GM Leon Luke Mendonca. © Chess Federation Only five players in history have managed to get the prestigious title before their 13th birthday, which proves how difficult of a task it is to achieve. Three years ago, India’s Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu came close to breaking Karjakin's record but missed it by a close margin. He became the GM at 12 years, 10 months, 13 days. © BCCL Another child prodigy, Gukesh Dommaraju, became India’s youngest GM at the age of 12 years, 7 months, 17 days. He is the world's third-youngest Grandmaster, only behind Abhimanyu and Karjakin. With congratulations pouring in from all quarters, many described him as a threat to the supremacy of Magnus Carlsen -- the No. 1 chess player in the world -- and the speed at which Abhimanyu is going after records, we wouldn’t be surprised if he went on to become the next big thing in chess. @MagnusCarlsen in danger ☠️ — Vivek Subramanian (@Vivek5_S) June 30, 2021 pic.twitter.com/GrfrfHK7J9 — M®️ (@MartinRossini) June 30, 2021 View the full article

Recently, Amika George was picked as the youngest recipient of the Queen’s Birthday Honours for this year as she pushed the UK government to provide free period products in schools and colleges. The 21-year-old student studies history at the University of Cambridge and both her parents are from Kerala in India. She said, “It wasn’t an easy one for me with the Honours system’s association to the (British) Empire and our Colonial past.” She also said, “It’s really important for me to show that young people have power in our voices, much more than we realize. We have often been overlooked in political spaces, and the MBE shows that we are slowly being recognised as real changemakers who can influence government.” © Amika George IG “That change doesn’t have to be done from within the walls of Westminster, or the White House, or the Indian Parliament. Anyone can orchestrate change. I would like young people of colour to see that we are being recognised, and that if we are willing to jump from a place of safety and rise, we can create something better,” she added. Amika George is picked for Member of the Order of the British Empire which is the third-ranking award on the list. She’ll be receiving this for her campaign against period poverty #FreePeriods. She had started this campaign at the age of 17 and she started it as it made her angry that so many girls in the UK were missing school every month as they were too poor to afford period products. © Amika George IG She then filed a petition and met with the ministers and later the UK government in 2020 funded educational institutes to provide free period products. Free Periods is now a not-for-profit organisation, which continues to fight against the taboo and shame surrounding menstruation. She said, “On behalf of my family and community who have silently had to tolerate racism over decades, who felt like they never fitted in, who never felt British enough, who never felt seen”.
