Another success story hailing from the streets of Navi Mumbai has garnered global attention. Merely 18 years old, Anshuman Jhingran has managed to become the youngest person in the world to cross the North Channel and has qualified to enter the Guinness World Records. 

Notably, since 1947, he is only the 114th person to cross this channel, located between Scotland and Northern Ireland. The North Channel is touted as one of the most formidable Ocean Seven swimming challenges - for its low temperature, fast-flowing currents, and presence of extremely dangerous lion's mane jellyfish, all the way.  

In the coming future, the young lad plans to complete remaining six channels of the Ocean Seven marathons. This is a testament to his remarkable abilities and unyielding spirit.
