This 5-Year-Old Indian American Girl Is The World's Youngest TEDx Speaker

Kiara Kaur is a 5-year-old Indian-American girl who has scripted history by becoming the world's youngest TEDx speaker. She addressed a TEDx meet on November 14, Children's Day which led to her recognition by the World Book of Records in London.

In an interview with NDTV, she said, "I am so excited to be the youngest TED speaker". The organiser of the event said that she inspired everyone with her story. Other speakers were also cheering for her. She is a passionate reader who has read more than two thousand books. She is now ready to release her first book "Dairy of a 5-Year-Old Genius Chatterbox Who Set World Records" which chronicles her journey in her own words. The typing work of the book was done by her mother, as per a report.

Before this, Kiara had set a world record of reading 36 books non-stop for 105 minutes.

When asked about her future plans, she says that she is a bit confused about what she wants to do in life. "Sometimes I want to become a doctor to treat people and sometimes I want to become a leader to help the needy," she said.

Kiara was born in US and is living in Abu Dhabi where her doctor parents are settled. Both her parents and her grandfather feel fortunate to have her in their lives. Kiara is also studying French and Spanish as she is quite inclined towards languages.
