Lakshmanan Meyyappan, 16, has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s youngest male Chartered Accountant at 16 years and 141 days. Based in Dubai, Meyyappan began studying for the ACCA qualification at 15 and completed it in about a year. He later earned the CFA charter and is now pursuing an MSc in Finance. He also works as a Senior Research Analyst at Century Financial, focusing on investments, research and financial markets. His interest in accounting began during the COVID-19 pandemic, influenced by his mother, who is also an ACCA. Meyyappan says curiosity, rather than speed, drove his achievements. (PC: NDTV)
