In a heartwarming display of memory and recognition skills well beyond his years, Elzin Nabeel, a 3-year-old from Kozhikode, Kerala, has been officially titled as an IBR Achiever by the India Book of Records for an extraordinary feat — identifying and recalling the names of 51 car brand logos in just 1 minute and 51 seconds, all by viewing images on a mobile phone.
Born on November 10, 2021, Elzin accomplished this record-setting performance at the tender age of 3 years and 4 months, astonishing viewers and adjudicators alike with his razor-sharp recall and deep interest in automobile logos.
The attempt was verified and confirmed by India Book of Records on April 1, 2025, earning Elzin national recognition for his achievement in the “Young Achievers” category.
“It all started when he began pointing at cars during our walks and naming them correctly,” said Elzin’s proud parents. “Soon, he started recognizing them from pictures and logos alone — even ones we didn’t know ourselves!”
According to IBR officials, Elzin’s performance was carefully timed and reviewed under standard conditions. His ability to correctly name each logo — some of which even adults struggle to identify — reflects not only a remarkable memory but also an early affinity for learning and pattern recognition.
Experts in early childhood development hailed the feat as an inspiring example of cognitive potential in young minds. “Such abilities, when encouraged positively, can be a strong foundation for future learning,” said Dr. Meera Subramanian, a child psychologist based in Kochi.
As word of his accomplishment spreads, Elzin has already become a local celebrity in Kozhikode, with family, friends, and teachers cheering on the tiny automobile enthusiast with a big brain.
Elzin’s journey serves as a joyful reminder that greatness knows no age — and sometimes, even the smallest among us can leave the biggest impressions.
