Microsoft Disowns Shafay Thobani, Yet Another Self Proclaimed Youngest Microsoft Professional

The on top of pictured child is Shafay Thobani, who is yet one more Pakistani boy to assert as being the World’s Youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist, even when Microsoft has said this officially that they don’t keep track elderly for its certified professionals.

It seems that this has become a trend in Pakistan to induce noticed by claiming oneself as being the world’s youngest skilled in one factor or another. most likely as a result of it will bring them fame, attention and cash, that too while not a lot of efforts.



This is happening even once Shayan Anique’s episode, a self proclaimed youngest Microsoft skilled, once we saw him manufacturing communication that was solid and faked.

Unlike Shayan Anique, Shafay Thobani’s certification is legitimate, we've checked with Microsoft, however his claim of being youngest certified skilled within the world couldn't be verified for the very fact that Microsoft doesn’t count age of its professionals.

In case of Shafay Thobani, he (I mean his father or guardian) went a step ahead. They employed a PR agency, organized a press conference in an exceedingly 5 star hotel in Karachi yesterday to announce his heroism in front of media. thus rather than pulling the media, they rather contented with pushing their son to media to induce him the coverage.

Jus t to say, Shafay incorporates a page on his web site that reads: “Hire me as a complete Ambassador”, whereas ProPakistani has learned that Shafay Thobani goes to become complete ambassador for a complete or 2 additionally to obtaining sponsorships from government and personal sectors. that is ok, really not. Let me make a case for.

Frankly speaking i'm impressed by the abilities of Shafay Thobani. Since he's legitimate certified skilled at this age, that are a few things to be praised and lauded regarding. however the matter happens when he calls himself “World’s Youngest Certified Professional”, that may be a pretend claim. Since Microsoft can’t verify this we tend to are in no position to assume that he's indeed world’s youngest certified skilled.

This drawback can get solely worse once we can see additional such claims in returning days and conjointly to say that such claims are either cooked, not true, unverifiable and hence are falsified.

Microsoft is somewhat worried of those self proclaimed kid prodigies, who carry on surfacing each alternative month currently. Microsoft as a technology company doesn’t need to induce named with these youngsters, who principally pretend their appearance and skills (Ammar Afzal for example).

When asked if Microsoft can disown such youngest certified professionals a political candidate told ProPakistani that they already did thus by asserting that Microsoft doesn’t keep track elderly for its certified professionals.

We hope that Microsoft won't ban youngsters from Pakistan below eighteen to look in certifications attributable to these self proclaimers.
