Meet Krish Arora, 10-Year-Old British-Indian Boy Who Surpassed Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking's IQ

10-year-old Krish Arora from Hounslow, West London, has amazed the world with an IQ of 162, surpassing the legendary minds of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, whose IQs are thought to be around 160.

Krish has shown exceptional abilities from a young age, reading fluently at four and solving complex math problems effortlessly.

His parents, Mauli and Nischal, both from engineering backgrounds, are proud of their son's extraordinary intelligence. Recently, Krish was accepted into Mensa, the top society for high-IQ individuals, and excels in extracurricular activities as well.

Krish Beats Einstein in IQ

Krish's parents proudly share that their young prodigy is not only a chess and math puzzle expert but also excels in nearly every area he engages with, often outshining them in minutes.

When Krish was just four, his parents began to realise they had raised a genius.

"He was reading very early, so when he was four, he was fluently reading and was doing complex decimal divisions around that time. His spellings were also really good for his age. So we did see the sparks," his mother, Mauli, told My London.

Incredibly, despite having only played chess for four months, Krish was already able to defeat his mentor, a player with an impressive FIDE rating of 1600. Beyond chess, Krish also has a natural talent for the piano and frequently tutors his friends, who often ask for his help with schoolwork.

His teacher, recognising his exceptional skills, has even started assigning Krish to assist classmates, especially in math lessons.

Krish recently shared his excitement with The Sun about being accepted into Mensa. He revealed that his IQ surpasses even Einstein's.

Mensa uses the Cattell III B test to assess reasoning and mental agility, with scores above 160 indicating genius-level intelligence.

"It's a challenge raising a child who is intellectually so advanced," Mauli shared with the UK-based outlet, reflecting on how the parents have embraced their son's God-given talent.

"He's always asking questions, but then it's a pure pleasure because when you see a child so young doing things so brilliantly, you realise it's a gift," she added.

A Multi-Talented Prodigy, Also a Gifted Musician

In addition to his exceptional mathematical abilities, Krish is a talented musician. After just one and a half years of learning, he achieved Grade 8 in piano and has the rare ability of absolute pitch, enabling him to recreate songs without needing a reference note. His musical talents earned him a place in Trinity College of Music's "Hall of Fame."

While Krish enjoys both music and math, his passion for the latter is stronger, and he aspires to pursue a future in a math-related field. He has also triumphed in several music competitions in West London.

Krish also has a twin sister named Keira, who is similarly gifted. When he's not studying or practising, Krish relaxes by spending time with friends.

Next year, he'll be attending Queen Elizabeth School in Barnet, one of the top state schools in the country. His sister, Keira, has also been accepted into four grammar schools.
