Abhiraj Shee is a 12-year-old child prodigy from Kolkata, India, whose name today sits quietly but proudly alongside the country's most extraordinary young achievers. A Class 7 student of Delhi Public School Megacity, Kolkata, Abhiraj has, in a few remarkably short years, built a story that reads less like a school report card and more like a fairy tale written by his own hand — one filled with books, records, awards, and the kind of relentless curiosity that only a child's heart can carry so far.
Behind every number attached to his name — 12 World Records, 600+ awards, 800+ certificates, 36 published books, and over 150 apps and games — is a young boy from an ordinary Kolkata household who simply refused to stop dreaming, learning, and creating. He has consistently ranked first in his class, and beyond the classroom, his journey has touched the worlds of literature, technology, sport, and public recognition — earning him admiration not just from his school and city, but from some of the most respected names in India.
A Journey Written in His Own Words
Abhiraj has achieved 12 World Records and more than 600 awards, 800 certificates, published 36 books — becoming the youngest author in the world to have published the most number of books — and developed 150 apps and games. He is the award-winning author of the National Young Author's Fair for the last three consecutive years, and also became the Child Author of the Year in 2025-26.
He received his awards and recognition from the Governor of West Bengal, the former Chief Minister of Goa, former Union Minister of India Ms. Smriti Irani, and Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, Padma Shri Ms. Deepa Malik, famous badminton player Ms. Saina Nehwal, famous actress Ms. Mugdha Godse, Ms. Ena Saha and actor Mr. Ali Khan, Mr. Kharaj Mukhopadhyay, TCS, Indigo Airlines, India Book of Records, and from many more eminent personalities and organisations.
His achievements have been broadcast on Discovery Channel, NDTV, India Today, Disney International, The Times of India, The Telegraph, The Hindu, and other media platforms — a small boy from Kolkata whose story has travelled far beyond the walls of his classroom.
World Records — A Boy Who Wrote His Way Into History
Abhiraj holds 12 World Records under the India Book of Records, International Book of Records, Asia Book of Records, and World Book of Records, London. Each record tells its own small story of patience, practice, and a child's determination to push a little further than the day before — from reciting the entire periodic table in 42 seconds, to spelling 100 English words in under three minutes, to answering 100 rapid-fire questions in just over four minutes.
Among his most cherished and recently confirmed records are:
- Youngest author to have authored the maximum number of English books — a record set under the International Book of Records.
- Youngest author to have authored the maximum number of English books in a single year — also recognised by the International Book of Records.
- Youngest author whose books have been published in the maximum number of foreign languages — a record set under both the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records.
He also holds records for the fastest recitation of all elements of the periodic table by a pre-teen, the fastest identification and recitation of 100 phonetic words, the maximum number of awards received for achievements within a short span of time, the fastest spelling of 100 English words, the fastest random-answer performance across subjects, and the maximum number of computer apps and games developed by a child — each one a quiet testament to a mind that simply does not know how to stand still.
The Young Author Who Refused to Stop Writing
If there is one thread that ties Abhiraj's story together most tenderly, it is his love for books. He has written and published 36 books across genres — stories of imagination, poems from the heart, and reflections on family and dreams — including titles such as The Tale of Jaxon and Elara, Good Dream Bad Dream, My Trip to the Moon, My Poems of Love, and My Father My Inspiration.
He is the winning author of the National Young Author's Fair — the world's largest book-writing competition for children — for three consecutive years (2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26), a feat matched by very few young writers anywhere. In 2025-26, he was honoured as the "Child Author of the Year", receiving the 11th International Literary Awards along with the Dickens Medal of Excellence at the 4th Kolkata Literary Carnival. Three of his books have found a place in the prestigious BriBooks Global Hall of Fame, and his work has travelled as far as the Brooklyn Book Festival in New York and the Delhi World Book Fair — a young boy from Kolkata whose imagination now sits on shelves across continents.
Olympiads — Ranking Among the Best in the World
Alongside his literary achievements, Abhiraj has consistently secured top international ranks across multiple Olympiads, standing among the finest young minds in the world in Mathematics, Science, English, Cyber, and General Knowledge competitions conducted by organisations such as SOF, Unified Council, CREST, and Unicus Global.
Among his notable Olympiad achievements, Abhiraj secured the 7th rank internationally in the LogiQid Olympiad, conducted by IIT Bombay and LogiQids — a reflection of his sharp logical reasoning and problem-solving ability, standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the brightest young participants across the country.
A Mind Built for Technology
Beyond books and Olympiads, Abhiraj has quietly built himself a reputation as a young innovator. He has developed more than 150 computer apps and games spanning education, health habits, and quizzes — an achievement that also earned him a World Record for the maximum number of computer apps and games developed by a child. He has also represented himself with distinction in some of the world's largest coding competitions for children, including the iCode Global Hackathon.
Recognition from the Nation's Most Respected Voices
Perhaps what makes Abhiraj's story so deeply moving is not just what he has achieved, but who has taken notice of it. He has been personally felicitated by the Governor of West Bengal, the former Chief Minister of Goa, former Union Ministers of India Ms. Smriti Irani and Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, Paralympic legend Padma Shri Ms. Deepa Malik, Olympic medallist Ms. Saina Nehwal, and celebrated actors Ms. Mugdha Godse, Ms. Ena Saha, and Mr. Ali Khan. He has also received honours and appreciation from Bengali film personality Mr. Kharaj Mukhopadhyay, from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) — where he was named an SDG Ambassador — from the Indigo Airlines team on three consecutive occasions, and from the leadership of the India Book of Records and the International Book of Records.
For a boy still in Class 7, to be recognised by name — and warmly embraced — by such an extraordinary cross-section of India's leaders, athletes, artists, and institutions is a rare and heartening thing. It speaks not only to his achievements, but to the sincerity and humility with which he carries them.
In the Public Eye
Abhiraj's journey has found its way into some of India's most-watched screens and most-read pages. His story has been broadcast on Discovery Channel, NDTV, India Today, Disney International, and featured in publications including The Times of India, The Telegraph, and The Hindu, among several other media platforms — a gentle reminder that a child's dedication, when nurtured with love and encouragement, can quietly capture the attention of an entire nation.
A Story Still Being Written
Perhaps the most beautiful part of Abhiraj Shee's story is that it is far from finished. Every new book, every fresh record, every certificate carefully added to a growing collection, is simply another page in a story that continues to be written — one that carries within it the hope, discipline, and boundless curiosity of a young Indian child who dared to dream a little bigger, and kept working, quietly and joyfully, until the world began to notice.
