He is just five years old. But Ajay Puri of Lucknow has earned the distinction of having become the youngest computer web designer in the world.
With the feat firmly under his belt, the Class-II student, who designed his website, www.microsfotkid.com, has entered the Limca Book of Records.
The talented boy recently met Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. After the meeting, Gates is reported to have remarked: "Ajay! You are going to take my seat."
Last month, he took the Silicon Valley by surprise by passing the Microsoft "MOUS" examination, securing 98 per cent marks. An exam, which people five times his age find it difficult to pass.
His score of 98 is said to be the highest in the world so far. Ajay has thus become the youngest specialist Microsoft Office user in the world.
Though he belongs to Lucknow at present his parents work in Bangkok, where he studies at Harrow International School.
CNN has already featured him. Now, the BBC and the CNBC are planning to make more features on this computer wiz kid.
In recognition of his amazing talent, Microsoft Thailand recently gifted him FrontPage 2000 for making a website.
He can create a website with all hyper links, thumbnails, background music, frames, DHTML, Forums etc.
Geez that's something. But how does a 5 year old get that smart?
It's amazing
