2025-10-14

On September 18, 2025, Pavitra Pranav Patil from Mumbai, India (born January 3, 2023), had completed visiting all the New Seven Wonders of the World. After verification by Forbes World Records Certification, he successfully set a world record for the "Youngest to Visit the New Seven Wonders of the World".

 

The New Seven Wonders of the World were selected through a global online poll organized by the Swiss-based New7Wonders Foundation in 2007. The final seven are: the Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Colosseum in Italy, and the Taj Mahal in India.

 

Before achieving this extraordinary milestone, Pavitra had already set another world record — “Most Companies' Stocks Held by an Individual”. With the thoughtful planning and guidance of his parents, these two records reflect not only an exceptional start to life but also a unique educational philosophy: to help their child understand both the wonders of the world and the workings of society, nurturing broad vision and independent thinking through exploration and learning.

 

This record is more than a list of travel destinations — it is a story of enlightenment and growth, allowing a child to experience the vastness and diversity of the world from the earliest years. Pavitra’s parents shared that the journey’s true meaning lies in cultivating curiosity, adaptability, and respect and love for different cultures.
