Krishangi Meshram, a 21-year-old raised in the ISKCON Mayapur community in West Bengal and now based in the UAE, has become one of the youngest solicitors in England and Wales.
Meshram began her legal journey at just 15, enrolling for a law degree with The Open University (OU), UK.

Three years later, she graduated with a First-Class Honours LLB, the youngest OU student to do so, before completing a Master’s degree.
She recently cleared the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), officially marking her entry into the legal profession.
“Studying with flexibility not only gave me academic freedom but also taught me discipline, focus, and organisation. These skills helped me secure a role at an international law firm, where I am now gaining practical experience,” Meshram was quoted as saying by TOI.
She added that distance learning allowed her to balance studies, travel, and family commitments.
Her parents, Tapan and Indira Meshram, said they were proud but surprised by her achievement. “We encouraged her to give it her best shot, but we couldn’t have anticipated such a remarkable outcome,” they said.
Meshram’s interest in law began early, after completing a short course at Harvard University.
“It resonated deeply with her core values of justice and fairness,” her father recalled. He credited her Mayapur upbringing — “away from toxic academic competition” — for instilling self-discipline and focus from a young age.
