Microsoft’s newest certified professional is an 8 year old Indian kid. From Channel News Asia:

An 8-year-old boy in India has established himself as the youngest ever certified computer professional. This, despite being born with a severe physical deformity.

Channel NewsAsia’s Atul Jolly caught up with the amazing whiz kid. Mridul Seth is the youngest ever Microsoft-certified computer professional in the world. It’s equivalent to a degree obtained after sitting for an Engineering exam.

All this, at the age of 8.

This news actually comes to Sepia Mutiny at the most opportune of times. We were looking to add another writer to our blog. But, does Mridul have what it takes?

He cannot speak properly, but that has never stopped him from mastering computers.

He became an expert in HTML, Photoshop and Windows before he was 6.

Yeah. I think he’ll fit right in here.
