Sri Ramendra Chandra Ganguli, resident of Bengaluru, was born at Kolkata in 1937, with a permanent disability in his left hand and left leg. He started walking quite late at the age of 4 years. He ignored all the ridicules and physical suffering and concentrated on his studies; passed the I. Com examination in 1953, went for CA course and graduated (B. Com) simultaneously. He worked very hard; self-studied at home in the early morning hours, worked rigorously on articleship/training throughout the day and attended B. Com classes in the night. He finished B. Com in 1955 and passed the CA exam in 1956 at the age of 19 years. He was awarded a certificate by the Guinness Book of World Records, London in July 2000 confirming that he is the youngest Chartered Accountant in the world. Later on, the Government of India, through the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, honoured him as the “Role model of Person with Disability '' on the International Disability Day in December 2005.

It has been Mr Ganguli’s hobby to write articles on financial/accounts matters which have been published in financial and Chartered Accountant’s journal. His short stories are being published in local cultural magazines.
